Isn't big Mac back tonight or is that soon?

Believe they activated him yeah.

From ESPN article on coaching "hot seats":

Dave Hakstol, Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers have gone seven games without a win (0-3-4), which will raise the temperature on any coach's seat, let alone one in his third season for a franchise that hasn't had a coach last four full seasons since Mike Keenan in the 1980s.

The Flyers went from a team that had a 10-game winning streak last season to "a lost franchise" faster than in the days when the late Ed Snider could sign a check for a mediocre goalie. Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Flyers have won just 28 of their past 73 games, and while that might not put Hakstol on the hot seat "it should have him on notice, especially since several young teams (see the Columbus Blue Jackets, Winnipeg Jets and New Jersey Devils, among others) are badly outperforming the Flyers."

The next six weeks could determine his fate.

How hot is his seat?

It's like when you're in the sauna and at first it feels delightfully warm and then seven games later it feels like fire ants are crawling on your face. Which is to say that Hakstol is under pressure to reverse course, and he knows that Scott Gordon is lurking in the AHL, with several of his former players on the current Flyers roster. Still, Hakstol helmed a 10-game winning streak this season, so this is a bit of recency bias, no?

NOTE - I bolded that one part simply because I did not realize how bad this has gotten; that is a 63-point pace over 82 games.

They are lucky that the Eagles and the Sixers have them flying under the radar right now... who would have thought the Flyers would be city sad sacks

pretty much anyone who has been following them for the last few seasons.

Young, talented, and in love with veteran presence players like Andrew MacDonald - The Flyers Story.

Ghost ties the game at 1 on a 2-man advantage

1:50 remaining on the PP

2-1 thanks to everyone's hero Brandon Manning (or Fippula, if he actually tipped it early enough)

and Vorachek killed Murray

3-1 Coots goal

Pens score, refs review it and confirm, Hakstol uses the challenge to say "Are you sure?", the refs say "Yes" and we lose our timeout

and 40 seconds later, we're tied. Another 2-goal lead blown

Maybe the flyers are unaware there are three periods in this sport.

Thought the game would be on at the gym and it's not. I take the blame.

RAFFL! We lead with under 4 minutes remaining

Raffl gets a couple goals like that every year

2 minutes without a change before a huge save by Elliott. Thankfully Pittsburgh used their timeout

.....and seconds later, Pittsburgh ties it. FUCK.

This team stinks like feet
