Hak has earned some latitude here with lineup decisions. He’s got a bubble team roster (imo) in a good playoff position

Don’t disagree but it is hard to watch the double standard. I actually think it would be good for gudas to watch a game

I would argue it's the other way around, personally.

Agreed. Definitely a playoff caliber roster

without question Gudas and Manning have been the MOST CHALLENGED D pair. So Hak doensn't liKE the chemistry, sit the consistently bad player. Now, we know due to the need of vet presence they can't but to put Manning back in is terrible. I don't like the message it says to the team or Hagg. Is hak trying to get into Hagg's head.

DOUBLE STANDARDS.

Bubble team is what the season began with, once Coots, TK, Ghost, G, jake and more recently Patrick exceeded expectations, the original expectation of bubble team should have gone up

And they've been dragging him along since despite some lineup decisions that are absolutely mind-boggling.

I don't think he's the worst coach of all time, but I do think he's made some really awful lineup decisions this year. Part of that lies with Hextall, as well.

We have 2 of the top defenseman in the league this year. Two of the top players in the Nhl this year. And a cast of guys who have emerged as real players especially of late. Anything less than the playoffs at this point is a disappointment

And part of that would be Gs move to the wing, credit who for that?

Coot and G who apparently brought it up in their exit interviews at the end of last year?

Hakstol. And he also gets credit for making Simmonds part of the PK, which is in the bottom-5 of the league yet again.

So yeah, he's had his fair share of good moves. But his personnel selection and usage is just, bluntly, really (frank)ing bad.

I am not talking point production. Just overall talent. Flyers have playoff caliber talent on their roster. Moving him to LW would be part of what he does with that talent

I still feel like he's 3 bad decisions for every 1 good one.

Been driving all day. What’s the story with Hagg?
- BiggE

It has been reported here and elsewhere that Hagg is less than 100%. This is a perfect game for him to heal up.....

I would argue it's the other way around, personally.
- jmatchett383

I would argue its the other way around also..they are a bubble lineup this season.

1. A bottom 6 that i fairly useless
2. Inconsistent goaltending
3. A bottom pair of defense men that have struggled.

If all the anticipated influx of youth takes place next season and they still play this way then its a different story.

If that was the case evade why did Hakstol say what he said? No need to air out dirty laundry in the press about Hagg

Save that energy to tonight and then take that frustration out on the Rags.


Seriously though, I hope this isn't a sign of an off night.

They can’t afford any more off nights against crap teams.

Should we pitch in for hookers?

Not good ones though. Not with this PK.

would love to hear your reasoning as to why Giroux is a fraud.
