Bill Meltzer: Wrap: Islanders Throttle Flyers, 6-1

Bill, at this point, how can they go forward without a coaching change?

Of course, it’s not all on the coach, but this team is just a rudderless mess right now and that’s when coaches almost always lose their jobs.

Something has to Happen.

Hak change
Coots no longer 1c
Call up Ghoul and throw some hits.

I dunno. Today was as bad as I remember, they literally rolled over at home.

It was probably as bad a performance I’ve seen in years. The lack of testes shown by this team was disgusting.

Bill please no more defending the PK, not sure what your seeing from earlier saying they outside of a few bad games have been better. I disagree respectfully , they are as bad if not worse then last year and have no idea how Hextall has not fired Lappy. If he won’t fire Lappy, we will surely never see Hak fired.

Lappy will be promoted or reassigned before he ever gets fired. Take it to the bank.

Hextall hasn't fired Lappariere because he likely doesn't see it as a coaching issue.

I don't want to speak for him but you can tell Bill is disgusted also. Just not really worth writing a whole lot about.

If Hextall or Holmgren are unwilling to make the obvious change, then they can hang with him.

Enough is enough. They can test the loyalty of their fanbase to a certain point.

There has been nothing to defend about the PK the last four games. What I had said was they were doing a much better job up-ice and at disrupting entries but still had to clean up their own end of the ice. That didn't happen and, this past week, the PK areas that were showing improvement have regressed, too.

Then please don't. That is as bad as "knowing a team's confidence level in another player by how they play".

Maybe he wanted to spend time with the family, wrote a quick summary and will have more break down tomorrow.

If you want to share your opinion on how disgusted you are with this team feel free. You should know better since you are one of the people on here who argue with others over assumptions and certainties they can't prove.

Maybe, but I sensed differently. If you don't like it that's your problem. Deal with it. I'm comfortable with the speculation. It's not something about the team.

Plind was right.

All hail Plind.

Yup. If you can't see Lappy isn't cutting it then you have a problem. Even at his best he has never had the PK out of the bottom third of the league.

It's the same issues with this team year after year. Enough excuses. Time for some kind of action.

Tried not posting during the game for fear of being banned.
