Wow, the panic around here is ridiculous. The Flyers and Q deny the report. Hak is still the coach. So, Isaac got it wrong.

Most likely , dumb decision on his part. If that's me and I did trust the source I'd still only run the story if the team put out the news first. Gotta think about your job security in a situation like that, what does breaking a head coach firing really do for you other than prove you had a source on the inside.

With the heat on that story, it's one of those I want to break it stories. But you got to be very very sure it's right.

It's not a panic. Everyone in hockey is looking at the team with a focus on the Flyers doing something. Either make the move, or announce that he's your coach for the rest of the season. The players don't seem to want to play for him before this. It doesn't seem likely that they will for a lame duck coach. He's twisting in the wind.

Issac gets most of the blame. Ran a major story wihout verification while the entire team including the GM is up in the air.

Now the front office is on the hook for not making a statement and leaving the coach out to dry.

We’ve become the modern day NHL version of the California Golden Seals. All that’s missing is Chuck Finley and white skates. Maybe our next goalie will be Gilles (frank)ing Meloche. What a cluster(frank)!

When did this organization become such a laughing stock?

Im going with when Ed died.


I get that Hak is the worst coach ever (even though he isnt) but what is playing out tonight is ridiculous.

I’ll agree with the poster on the other page.

I want him gone as much as anyone, but it’s kind of cruel to treat him this way. We can joke or whatever, but the man has remained classy through a pretty tough time.

Agreed, this is unconscionable

How is the organization culpable for a reporter getting something wrong? These guys were all sitting on plane minding their own business. They denied the report. What else do you need from them?

Well, one can jump to a pretty reasonable conclusion that Isaac's source was someone with ties to the organization.

Say what you will about Hexy, but he controlled info with an iron fist, and this is why.

The Flyers are bush league because some reporter got a story wrong? The Flyers denied the report. Hak is the coach. End of story.

Maybe that rumored trade with Lyon included happens.
