I will say this, Fletch sounds a lot like Hextall.

Talking about taking his time, not rushing and making the right decisions at the right time.

Nice to hear.

It’s a shame that they waited 2 years too long to fire hakstol. Having to walk into the arena 41 times a year where people are chanting for you to be fired isn’t fair to anyone.

even at 2 Mil a year that would suck.

ice time will change for players with a new coach. Fire up the youth wagon.

I'd imagine local sports talk radio has given this an extensive 45 seconds worth of coverage before returning to "IGGLES!!! SUPER BOWL REPEAT!!!"

even at 2 Mil a year that would suck.

I'll do it.

It is unbelievable to me how you can be where they are on special teams and not replace the assistants too

I simply do not get that

What are the odds that Lappy has something on Hextall and Fletcher? I mean what other excuse can there be?

Im a STH and I do not hear anyone chanting fire Hak.

Same

Doesn't sound like Elliott is very close.

Said progressing just not like they hoped.

It DEFINTELY has happened a number of times, namely towards the end of 16/17.

Chuck Fletcher says he expects Scott Gordon will be #Flyers coach for the remainder of the year. He says he hasn't asked for permission from Chicago to speak to Quenneville and hasn't spoken to him in two years.

Well it was fun while it lasted

They're gonna get rid of them once they have a coach and not Gordon filling in.
- hereticpride

But they're talking out of both sides of their mouths -- how can you sit there and say that you're wanting to win games and make the playoffs, when literally there are two aspects of the game that have actively prevented you from winning games and you are keeping those people responsible for them?

That's ridiculous to me. Fire Hakstol, fine. They had quit on him

But it's crazy to me -- Lappy's firing (should be) performance-based

The poster made it sound like it's happening this season. Not from where I sit.

Interim coach ensures lost season. One step closer to Hughes. Let Q enjoy Xmas all the way to Memorial Day

Did he say till the end of the year or till the end of the season... one happens in 14 days, the other is a long time from now.... lol

I thought I heard a few on TV recently, but yes, it's not an every game thing.

Did Neuvirth get an upper body injury from cutting the umbilical cord?

(frank). No plan to replace the assistants

It's pretty incredible Lappy has survived all of this

Yep. No interim coach has ever won a Cup.

But what about the ESCOBIRDS!

Who you replacing them with?

I get your thoughts but I think it's a slow process because you want your coach to make those changes.

Not one of these assistants will be back after this year.
- J35Bacher

Come on, man -- you make it sound like there's nobody out there -- hell, Rick Wilson was out there, right?

Q's assistants got cut loose. There are guys out there. Don't be lazy and act like there's NOBODY out there

I could be totally wrong but i don't think Fletcher is going to move prospects for rentals. Seems to understand where they are. Probably will still make a move for a goalie but I don't get the sense that top picks or prospects are moving.

Actually kind of feel like its more vets could be moving on compared to youth. Especially if they are getting Quenneville for next season.
