Dear god. Pull the tender at 3plus minutes??
- Hextall271



Why not when you are down 2 goals?
That had exactly 0 to do with this loss.

seriously dislike the Cousins-Coots-Weiss line. its like lets just take what is left over and make them a line
- nastyflyergirl


It's an odd combo. I'm pretty sure we'll see some changes next game.

Losing Raffl really does hurt though. He really helps that top line go.

That was most horrific coaching decision I've seen in awhile.
- SuperSchennBros


I'd go with playing Andrew MacDonald as your top pair defenseman as the most horrific, but it's a matter of opinion some would say

Really makes you see the value he brings to our team. He's not flashy but he certainly makes it count when he's on the ice.

We have a timeout. I would have played the top unit all two minutes

Not with the loss but it's certainly pulling the tender too early if you had any intention of making a comeback. 2real and milbury would say that you should have started carter hart or stolarz.

Team defensive not there.
Powerplay gone
PK struggle

Can't give up three goals and an EN in the third period. Hak better get this squashed fast. The Devils game then this garbage.

Yeah. Just a weird call. Wait til 2 mins then play the top line for the entire time.

It doesn't matter when you pull the goalie when you are getting badly outplayed, can't support the puck with a man advantage, and just overall suck.

Flyers are clearly not as good as their 10 game win streak would show. They're not there yet, and won't be as long as MacD is on a top pair.

I know, how dare the coach makes an aggressive choice.

He's very good. Read helps keep things stable in the bottom 6 too.

The 4th line needs to go back to playing 4th line minutes and MacDonald needs to go back to being benched or playing 3rd pair minutes.

Holy poop. Overreact much? Point is not that it cost them the game.

Point is that they were only down two and I wouldn't have pulled him at that time. I'm not calling Hak a bad coach. Not for him to be fired. Not for everyone to be traded.

That's my opinion which last I checked I was entitled to.

It was the right choice. If he pulled the goalie at 2 minutes, the Blues just would have scored then.

Not sure if you know this but points that a team earn don't go away
- YuenglingJagr


I'm aware. My point was if you follow a 10 game winning streak with 6 losses in 7 games or something to that effect it balances out. Next 3 games are at SJ and Ana, and against the Rags.

114 goals against. The most in the NHL. Unacceptable.
