Yeah but he also appears to be the only person who has played a round. Lombardi declined to even step to the first tee. At least we can be heartened by "still more people to interview".

@billmeltzer
Ron Hextall will speak to the media tomorrow at 11am.
6:18 PM - 29 Nov 2018

This is going to turn into a fucking soap opera, isn't it? As if the on-ice product isn't bad enough to deal with.

Going to blame everything on Gritty.

Flyers got permission to interview Zito.

Thank God! Finally some sensible news

Supposedly they won't make a decision until late next week at the earliest.

@BroadStHockey: "I was not going to make a panic, short term move that maybe helped us this year" - Hextall

emphasis was on the word maybe

Good, no reason to rush, there's month until the trade deadline and draft, take your time and hire the best person

Hextall = Lumbergh

@BroadStHockey: "Last time I talked to his (Wayne Simmonds) agent ... we weren't close" - Hextall

@BroadStHockey: "I wasn't willing to trade a young player and/or prospect for a guy in his 30s that might help us this year" - Hextall

@BroadStHockey: Hextall says he worked with Provorov's agent on and off for 3 months over the summer to come to an agreement on an extension and couldn't find middle ground

Hextall was pretty bad at his job wasn’t he

In fairness, I am fully on-board with his position of not trading away youth for help MAYBE getting to the 8th seed.

You really can't win in that position unless your team wins. Half this board says trade the old guys play all the young guys, the other half says sign Wayne Simmonds to a deal keeping him here for years.

Down 1 39 seconds in. Good start.

Getting dominated in the first few minutes, have to stem the tide

Can we fire Milt Thompson m?

Hextall moved out the way and let Konecny go 1:1 with the pens goalie to score a breakaway goal

Lucky to get the call there, TK slashed Simon

Prov and Ghost have really been not good this year

Gudas did a great job on Crosby that last shift
