Feels like a lightning in a bottle move coupled hopefully with Queeneville and a good trade to save the season

Hart is on the ice for practice. No beats saying whether Hak is.

EDIT: Sounds like he is not there but no confirmation yet.

When Carter Hart debuts, Flyers will become just the second team in NHL history to have SIX goalies play before Christmas. Other is '02-03 Blues (Fred Brathwaite, Tom Barrasso, Brent Johnson, Curtis Sanford, Reinhard Divis, Cody Rudkowsky) H/T @EliasSports

Too bad. Smart hockey guy and good person. I'm sure he'll have success elsewhere.

I'm sure you're right. He'll never find another job just like all those other ex-Flyers coaches.

I can understand, since sarcasm is pretty much my go-to voice 99% of the time. but in this case I actually think he is a smart, decent guy who didn't succeed for a number of reasons, most outside his control.

I need some kind of emoji for when I actually mean what I say

Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher will soon talk. Expecting he'll make Scott Gordon interim head coach for remainder of season. Word is that Joel Quenneville not likely to take up any coaching offers at least until then, either. He's still on a $6 million/year deal with Blackhawks.

Hockey Buzz Eklund

Hearing Quenneville could be hired in a different capacity for the rest of this season and then transitioned to coach next year.
