  1. He is fed up. We are all fed up. Funniest part is Danny will sit on his hands and do nothing. The seat is getting warm for both Briere and Jones.

  2. Ole Darnett Trashaway for ya.. Haha that was an epic loss congratulations!! You really outdid yourselves tonight

  3. Oh come off it. Everyone is fine as far as management. The goal from start was not make playoffs but improve from last year. Everything is fine holy. 3 pts out of 4 on rd this trip so far relax. Are we not the 4th youngest team in league? This is what happens. They looked great for most of the game, then they buckled… it happens.

  4. Clayton Keller is a prime example of how Taco doesn’t know how to coach elite players. Hathaway had more ice time than Michkov? I bet Michkov would have scored on an empty net. There is zero chance Zavagrin comes here after Michkov is run out of town. Shabanov didn’t sign here bc of Taco & his history w Russian players.

    Shane Wright a right handed center is said to be available for a top six forward. The Kraken need wingers. It’s being reported the Flyers are not interested. Why??? Wright is projected to be a 1C. He apparently is a two way playmaker with a sniper release. He would be perfect for Michkov & Martone. So we can’t get Pettersson bc of Taco, Thomas would cost similar to Q Hughes, & there are no top line C’s on the horizon. They need to pull the trigger asap for Wright so he can be the 1C. Then bring in Byram as a 1D to QB the PP. Team would then be rebuilt.

  5. Im sorry im usually the flyers apologist but what in the actual fuck. No grit, no try, nothing. That Hathaway flub on the empty net encapsulates this game perfectly. We have it in the bag then just stop skating and take it from behind. Pedestrian effort guys, honestly

  6. Play stupid games and you win stupid prizes. Hathaway had ZERO business being out their up 1 late. Idiotic.

  7. Yard sale…up 4-2 with 8 minutes left in the 3rd..what I saw after that was complete pansy ass hockey..I feel sorry for Tok honestly..he inherited these wimpsā€¦ā€too small,no ballsā€ā€¦DO NOT sign Zegras..he doesn’t want to play real hockey,he can’t hang with the big boys

  8. Toc is spot on, but I don’t think you can teach players to handle pressure better, they either have it it they don’t, and there are too many players on this team, line Sanheim, Ersson, etc that just don’t have it and never will.

  9. I feel exactly the way Tocchet does. I'm sick of this shit…for decades now of mostly poor hockey, blowing leads, blowing 3rd period leads, not enough skilled players, poor drafting, and playing on the back of our heels. Tocchet is right if guys dont want to rise to the occasion in pressure situations then Briere needs to do HIS job and start moving those guys out of here! 5 years of no playoffs and I'm tired of it now!

  10. He is and was a terrible hire. He can’t coach! He’s a dump and chase guy just like our four coaches. HATHAWAY RICK!?!? YOU MUST BE BRAINDEAD YOURE A JOKE HC
