Wonder if all the media has made there way to the airport?

Carchidi is here and Boruk just walking in.

I saw Isaac crying over near the cab stand. Something about having lost his phone earlier today.

One things for sure. They fumbled communication to the media/fans when they fired the GM. Now they're doing an even worse job while firing the coach.

Really hope Qs the guy but geez it's been a roller coaster of reports.

This is professional sports. Do you think Q told the flyers not until all the Christmas cookies are gone?

Bet he didn’t even pop the kernels. Real men eat it raw.

Currently Hak is kind of fired, Q is kind of hired and MJL is still making excuses for Hak's performance like Stevens and Berube before him.
- Glak18


Fake news. Never made a single excuse for Hakstol's performance.

Technically the team hasn't reported anything though so it's really the media who covers the team doing a terrible job here. If they wanted to appear credible they could've just waited until the Flyers announced something themselves. I guess that's the price you pay when you want to be the first to break a story.

Not yet, something about wanting to be last off. VDV was heading toward the gate holding a boom box with “my heart will go on” blaring.

Yup, somewhere over the North Dakota/Montana border.

Joel Quenneville hired.

Decide what to do with Simmonds.

Weal, Raffl, Folin, Lehtera, Neuvirth and Elliott all walk this summer.

Explore a buyout for MacDonald.

Make room to open a Myers roster spot.

Sounds like the perfect set up for the 2019-20 season to me.

Tuesday night Gritty decends from the rafters t-shirt cannon in hand. Skates over to bench, shoots Hakstol square in the chest. Removes his mask and there is that big, glorious, bushy poon broom. Q. Q. Q. Q.

Flyers have named their new head coach. Taryn Hatcher.

It's pretty comical. Maybe they should rehire Hextall as director of communications.

Raffl actually would be a good fourth liner with Q

I think Mac could probably be traded retaining 50% salary for the last year of his deal. Rather only have that cap implication for 1 year.

Also, I think Raffl would have some value staying as a utility player. Doubt he would need a raise for a 2 year deal or something.

Still a major upgrade over Hakstol. The players will certainly play hard for her.

I’m not making a case for any of these players. He hasn’t scored this season yet and he’s already sat again due to injury. In my mind, any UFA should go. I think there is only a case for Simmonds at a fair price for both sides.
