its unbelievable the way Hak keeps shooting the puck in to Islander legs.

This team has checked out completely.

His tough guy "sack up" nonsense went over like a wet fart. Get new voices in there.

Can’t believe Hak didn’t bury that scoring chance.

This team has given up. Blown out again... at home ... and absolutely no anger no emotion. Nothing. End this now. Get rid of the coach and see if we can somehow save this season.

I pray Hexy runs right to the lockerroom after this game and chews the whole team. This is the most embarrassing game I’ve watched in a very long time in all of sports.

He should look himself in the mirror first.

He's continously put them behind the eight ball with trash goaltending and a coach no organization would even touch at this point.

Giroux should laugh in his face if he does that.

I hate it how the players decide by themselves who plays and how many minutes they get.

I can’t believe you think it matters who would be on the ice right now with this collection of dreck.

Its no use with this group. He should be talking to other GMs as we speak.

Game 11, and the team’s goal differential is -14. Only the Red Wings and Kings are worse. 7th in the Metro and Rags are only 1 point behind with a game in hand.

The entire team should be forced to fly coach to the coast. Each seated in a middle seat with a 300 pound man on one side a guy who just ate a plate of limberger cheese and onions and who won’t stop talking on the other.

Ugh. 8 months till the draft. Seems once again this might be our only interest this year.

Because of his stellar track record, of course

27th in 2014-15 (77.1%)
20th in 2015-16 (80.5%)
21st in 2016-17 (79.8%)
29th in 2017-18 (75.8%)

Hak needs to be fired after the game.

They don’t listen to the coach ...why would they listen to him ?

It is far from just a coach problem, but watching the best players on the team play the worst with the most minutes says it all.

MJL moment:
What would happen if those players played less?

Maybe lose by 1, 4, maybe 100 more goals. It doesn't matter because the result is still a terrible loss. Accountability and we know how that hasn't existed with the Flyers for over a decade.

Agreed. Their likely needs to be a roster change but I think Hextall needs to send a message too and get a new face or two in here.

Without a doubt. At this point, I don’t care if Holmgren steps behind the bench to finish the season. Hell, he once choked Bullard for drinking the night before a playoff game. Lots of candidates for strangulation with this bunch.

Someone wake Holmgren up from his cryosleep and give him a hockey stick. This locker room needs some (frank)ing jam.

I think Hextall spent his last "chew out the players" chip last year, during the 10 game losing streak.

Only thing left is to clear out Hakstol at this point.

At least you seem to understand that firing the coach is not some magic elixir like some of the clowns on this board. Personally I think Hak needs to go today. But that is mainly because you can’t get rid of all the players. Many of these players are doing stupid things that they wouldn’t have done when they were playing in juniors. Unfortunately the coach is going to pay the price for their brainless hockey.

Oddly enough...now Misha has played more shifts the final 6 mins of the game then he did the first 54. So Hak does know his "best" players do look like crap.

Voroybev and Lehtera lines played the most to close out the game....hmmmm

Mediocrity has been allowed for far , far to long. Other organizations...ones that win...wouldn’t allow this.

Like I have stated multiple times, 1 change is not a solution. Many things have to be done.

The organization is an embarrassment.
