Do you have anything other than rhetoric? You don't know if they're ready or not. You basically don't know anything.

No I agree. The kids aren’t ready. Its unfortunate Sanheim is having to get these minutes.

Eagles admitted their mistake with chip kelly who had a pretty good first season. They corrected the mistake and now 2nd in Superbowl betting. It can be done. The difference I see with hak vs the process brown is brown made his players better. He got the most from guys who are out of the league now. Even won some games. Hasktol gives away games consistently. He's just not good.

If play like this continues then something will have to be done but putting this on Hakstol is nonsense. This is on the players.

I dunno, definitely not going to defend Hakstol and some of his lineup decisions but its the same issue year after year with this core of players.

Time to move a core piece and for the organization to declare a rebuild. It’s ok. The fans will get it.

Also if Simmonds is hurt he needs to sit.

Flyers playing well: We shouldn't bring up the kids and mess with the current team

Flyers playing poorly: Can't bring the kids into this mess

Player gets hurt: Don't wanna bring up a kid then have to send him down later

Players get hurt and suspended: HOW ABOUT ALT INSTEAD!?

At this point Im putting this on the players and Hexy more than anything.
I dont think Hak is saying go out there and do your best oatmeal imitation.
Hexy crafted this team and its neither rebuilding, established, young or old really.
The players on this roster basically just skate around..not really hitting..not really horrible..Just sort of doing their best Raffl out there.

When a team plays like this everyone including coach share in the blame.

They have players in the roster spots but not enough of them can make plays.

There enough blame for all, but I'll just say that I see teams in Vegas, Jersey, and Detroit doing more with less than the Flyers and I want a coaching change that much more.

Are you as excited as I am for Knob or Gordon? Hell Lappy is in the realm of possibility.

Including the GM.

Hextall is a part of this joke of a team.

After all this is his creation.

Only 5 teams in the league have fewer points than the Flyers, they should be better than this.

At this point I am open to anything that doesnt sound like "lets stay the same"
If its a coaching change, a trade of a player, sitting someone , calling up a rookie, some combo.

Honestly I hope the last 5 mins of this game the crowd voices their frustration.

I just hope our passive aggressive moron is enjoying this. After years of looking for his little debates and acting like the beacon of light.

Shove this one.

Gordon and Lappy, (frank) no
Knob maybe one day, but not today

That play after the whistle sums it up.

Someone pushes Giroux..He does nothing and no one else does.

The entire team has changed except coots g Jake simmonds. Same result. 3 of 4 of those players are playing excellent hockey
