      Really a perfect fit for Ole time Philly Style Hockey.
      Not really sure though that intimidation hockey will work in the 80 some game NHL season.
      Ya really need the right horses to play that style anyway.

              Congratulations to Dave. It's a great honor and a tremendous opportunity. This is really a positive reflection on your program.

                The Flyers have fired 4 coaches in the last 9 years (all with winning records when they left) and last season was the Flyers 2nd worst in 20 years. The sentiment of Flyers fans has always been give us Stanley or there's the door. I don't see Hak winning the Stanley Cup in Philadelphia.

                      He purposely over-recruits. He has no personality. He's ugly. He's a boy ginger. Boogers drop from his nose at random times. Some people have apparently been saying that he has Syphilis. He has no personality. He has B.O. He has zero personality. He's insipid. He was/is/always will be Dean Blais' shoeshine boy. Also, he has no personality. Know what other people often have zero personality? Serial killers.

                        Do I think the Flyers hiring Dave Hakstol is a stretch? No more of a stretch than hiring a former player with little to no coaching experience like Craig Berube. I hope Coach Hakstol succeeds for a couple of reasons...

                        1. What happens 90% of the time when a big-time college football coach jumps to the NFL? They suck balls. Hakstol is the first college coach to jump to the NHL since Herb Brooks jumped from SCSU to the North Stars back in 1987. I want Hakstol to show that hockey is different from football...a coach is a coach.

                        2. I'd really like to shove it up the butt of the CHL by having a former college coach go out and succeed in the NHL.

                          Given the fan and front office expectations and dysfunctional locker room culture of the Philadelphia Flyers, he better learn how to smile. This is a another bad move on Hextall's part. NCAA is world's apart from the NHL and Hak's lack of coaching or playing experience in the NHL is a serious disadvantage. IMO Terry Murray, who is coaching the Phantoms, is a better choice for head coach. Bringing Hak in as an assistant makes more sense, but throwing him into this meat grinder shackled with high expectations as a head coach with the personality of a tree frog looks pretty ominous.

                            He has nothing to lose. Being an NHL head coach is the top of the profession. There is no hockey coaching job that you get promoted to from an NHL head coach position.

                            I congratulate him. He was not afraid to take his shot when the NHL came calling, unlike a bunch of other college coaches I suspect.
                            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                              No comparison...Berube played in the NHL for 17 seasons and has been a coach in the Flyers organization since 2006. Hiring an inexperienced outsider like Hak is a desperation move by Hextall to change the culture in Philadelphia. IMO Hak has two seasons to fix it or he's gone.
