The Flyers are currently sitting at the bottom of the Metropolitan division with a 12-15-4 record, so the firing of Hakstol is entirely justified. Many are surprised that the firing didn't come sooner than it did. Coach Q will come in and immediately provide a morale boost, and also, help the Flyers establish a winning culture. I mean, after all, Quenneville is the 2nd winningest coach in the NHL for a reason and has the resume to back it up. For more Blackhawks news & updates, follow the author @Certified_TonyG on Twitter.
