In a manner that was so Flyers, Hextall was fired by the guy who was previously fired as the GM.

I agree about the coach. it was a bold move hiring a college hockey coach.
I liked the ballsiness of it.
it's been years.
what's rick tocchet doing these days - Berube too.....
shame Hitchcock was just hired. where's Lavvy at?
that's how this league (and most) work/roll.
recycle a coach after a turnover on the team is present - i.e. a fresh of crop of players who haven't tuned somebody out.
i'd like a Flyers Legend to get the nod in both the GM and coaching spots.
have always felt this way about the Giants with Simms and the Bengals with Boomer.
is mike keenan still alive?

I’m typing this is capital letters to stress how strongly I’m against what you said - NO MORE FUCKING FLYERS LEGENDS AS COACH OR GM!!! THAT IS WHY WE’VE SUCKED FOR ALL THESE YEARS!!!! GET SOME NEW BLOOD IN THERE THATS NOT TAINTED BY OUR SUCKING!!!! |

GET SOME NEW BLOOD IN THERE THATS NOT TAINTED BY OUR SUCKING!!!! They've just tried this for the past few years by thinking outside the box and hiring Hakstol - a college hockey coach and the team has disappointed for years. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong - wasn't Hakstol the first coach plucked from a college? If memory serves those North Dakota State Teams were pretty elite. There's got to be somebody in the organizations - alumni - who has the brains to handle the job. Where's Eric Desjardins these days? Brindy? |

What the fuck is a Hextall? if memory serves (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) - he was the first goalie to score a goal - and I think he had 2 of them - 1 in the playoffs. he also define a psychotic hothead goaltender. I always thought those fantastic Nike Goalie Commercials were modeled off of Hexxy to an extent. Hexxy was also the GM of 'Flyers West' - i.e. the Kings who won a couple of Cups. Rather disappointed since he's such a legend here - he didn't do a better job of befriended the community and getting his face out there over the past few years here back as GM. Had high hopes. |

The “Flyers Way” hasn’t worked since Gerald Ford was falling down jetway steps. I want the next gm and the next coach to have previously have nothing whatsoever to do with this team. |

How about the return of 'Clarkie' to mop this mess up? |

I just noticed they're 2 points (a win) away from 3rd place in the Division and we just got over Thanksgiving  You've just got to love 'todays' NHL with this bullshit 1 point for an Overtime Loss nonsense and expanded divisions with 8 teams. There's got to be an 'Onion' Satire article about this out there somewhere. Hey - we all get medals! Even for losing! There's got to be something 'behind the scenes' going on here - even though I wasn't happy with the Flyers recent success - this early on in the year - it's a bit premature. If you want to clean house - do it at the end of the year if they miss the playoffs again. |

Rather disappointed since he's such a legend here - he didn't do a better job of befriended the community and getting his face out there over the past few years here back as GM. Had high hopes. I was watching the Flyers/Bruins game when Hextall scored that goal. He was completely destroying the Bruins, making save after crazy save, getting in their faces, just being a total pain in the ass. The Bruins broadcasting team back then was the great Fred Cusak and the even greater Derek Sanderson, and they were ripping Hextall the whole game, calling him classless and a disgrace to hockey. In a word, it was AWESOME! Late in the game with the Bruins net empty, Fred Cusak said that he thought Hextall was just crazy enough to shoot at the empty net, and then sure enough, there it was, the first goal I'd have ever seen scored by a goalie. Man, the NHL used to be so much more fun. |

Carter has been excellent and certainly living up to the hype.
The Flyers may have finally found the solution to their 20 year positional black hole.
