How can he not be? Can’t fire enough players, can’t call up Hart

Better fire them all, too, except Wilson

I’m prepared for that. Nothing is fixed overnight.

It’s step (frank)ing one though in moving forward. We are stuck in Shawshank currently.

I couldn't believe that.

Guy didn't even ask a question. Just went in on Hak HARD.

While standing there with that poop eating grin.

The best part was he was right, we know your answers and you are going to talk about the break downs we saw just like you did....but what are YOU going to do about it

They seem to have given those up about two years ago.

Are people still butthurt about firing the guy who led us into this mess?
- hereticpride


I was surprised — shocked, really — but holy hell, look at this team

Everyone who has gotten a check this year is to blame and is eligible to get the hook, and nobody should be mad about it when it comes

I turned it off. If he didn't ask a question and just ripped Hak he deserves to be banned from the room

Technically he asked a form of a question. He said [paraphrasing] "We have been asking the same questions and you have been giving the same answers every night, so how are things going to be different"

With a big smile on his face he goes something along the lines of "Same result and you keep giving us the same anwers." then just goes back to smiling.

He'll get a nice letter from the organization I bet

Maybe...or Fletcher may just play the video in front of Hak instead saying the same thing.

You guys saw something I didn’t see in that exchange. If he was ripping hak, it was the most laidback ripping I ever saw. He said something like, it seems like we keeping ask you the same questions and you’re giving us the same answers. Then Hak said, “what’s the question?” The report then said, “what do you do from here on in?” and hakstol proceeded to answer his question. Where’s the rip?

You know, I am as guilty at times as anyone of overreacting or overrating

But they shouldn’t be this bad, even with some of the roster weaknesses

They don’t play hard enough. They just don’t. A new coach isn’t gonna bring 20 new hearts for transplants

You might not be the best player, but you can work hard, go to the net, defend with intensity

They get outworked and don’t start games on time, try to ease into games and checking, don’t hunt down pucks, make hope plays and passes, are too cute with passes

Anything they do, anything Fletcher does, they brought on themselves

I didn’t see a big smile. I felt like he was commiserating with Halstol more than anything.

This has been my feeling ever since he fire Hak rants began. But it's not going to be the fix. The issues go deeper than a coach. The solution will be ugly but may need to happen. It's not as simple as ripping as band aid off anymore it's more like cutting a limb off

Laughton following #PHIvsVAN: “Tonight, I think we worked really hard. Guys were trying...I really, really do believe that. It’s tough.”

If we are to take Scott for his word, then its pretty obvious the players jut arent good enough.
