I guess we should wonder why an NHL coach doesn't understand that the lines he put together for the game, if that's what they're going to be, is a waste of time? I guess he is incompetent.

He's a university coach who was hired to coach in the NHL. Let's not kid ourselves here.

That Giroux line may as well be the 3rd line.

Maybe he will get better matchups.

This is what happens when you're average. People who think the glass is half full have their opinions. Those who view it half empty say their piece. Arguments galore HB 101.

I don't understand how we can have a good game against the Ducks but then he makes changes after that. Lyubimov for the faceoff wizard Boyd Gordon?

Do you know why Lyubimov sat out a recent game?

Please son. You are an unreliable source on anything Flyers.

Nothing personal, but everything is unicorns and rainbows even if they lose 15 in a row.

Makes you unreliable. My mood swings as the team goes.

Wiese and Gordon healthy scratches again. Adroit use of free agency.

Maybe we are punishing G.

He's done everything for the club for so long, damnit it's time he earned some ice time!

LOL, since it went past you, I'll explain it. Isn't fair to say, that if a line combination put together, is a "waste of time", wouldn't an experienced hockey coach know that? If a fan does?

That is some quality use of extended vocabulary right there. I admire your perspicacity.

I dunno man.

We can all agree that coaches are human and make mistakes. That can been seen in any sport.

Coaches or GM's aren't these mythical all knowing gods. We are.

Weise looks like dead weight. I pray he can find a way to unload that contract. Guy is supposed to provide an edge at the very least. He's got the edge of a butter knife right now.

To me that doesnt matter..
I dont see Hak being the problem as much as the player mix tight now....

Bad penalty early in the Ducks game? I don't care. Right now he gives us a better chance at winning.

Gordon not really a big deal one year deal, warm body. Wiese another albatross.

You called him an NHL Coach. It's debatable. Chris Vandevelde is barely an NHL player himself. Dave Hakstol is a second season coach in the NHL. Not some seasoned Cup winning journeyman who has seen it all.
