Why should they not fire hakstol?
- Shrike


To blame the poor results on the roster and have an excuse to start making trades and signing free agents.

But you’ll say something else accusatory so you won’t have to answer.

Do you think it is effective or do you think they should use a different forecheck strategy

It can't be good when posters are replying to themselves.

As MJL would say, that is a false narrative...

How do value sanity you don’t posses

Yeah, well, I'm as sane as the rest of you miscreants.

I know, that's truly setting the bar low!

Ron picked the wrong center unfortunately for us. It sucks but it's true.

He definitely struggled at first and 2 games he got shelled including the 8 goal one they left him out to try on make that look worse than hes played. Over his last 3 or 4 weeks he's gained a lot more consistency and is excelling. Just has to stay that way. I think over his last 5 or 6 games hes got something like a .936 save percentage which is even more impressive in the wide open ahl.

Kid's gonna be a stud. No reason to rush him though, let him have the full season and playoffs with the Phantoms. His time will come soon enough.

Patrick is a bust two months removed from his 20th birthday apparently.

I swear this place gets dumber by the day.

1) Had no say in his coaching staff

2) Hextall was micromanaging his lineups

3) He is in the final year of his contract and there arent any better options available at the moment. If Q was available, he'd be signed by now. Clearly he has no intention of signing anywhere this year

NJ picked first not an option. In hindsight, maybe should have taken Pettersen instead

Yup, it’s just sad. No wonder so many good folks rarely visit anymore.

Idk burying a kid for the sake of burying him doesnt make sense either. If he goes into a consistency where month after month hes posting .930+ save percentage I think he gets a look. Thats extremely difficult to do in the A. Unless stoly and elliot sure up our net with a .905-.910 percentage. Time will tell. I dont think theres a perfect plan for any of the kids. That was hextall problem imo he had this plan in his head on where they would be.
