Honeymoon period for Flyers' Dave Hakstol and Ron Hextall should be over | Sam Carchidi

Like his enigmatic hockey team, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol had an up-and-down season.

There were decisions that turned golden – such as moving captain Claude Giroux from center to left wing before the season – and others that left you scratching your head.

There were long losing streaks that seemed to be followed by stretches when the Flyers refused to lose in regulation.

There were numerous wins against the conference’s best teams – on the road, no less — and too many losses to also-rans. Oh, and way too many losses on home ice.

Put it all together, and Hakstol gets mixed reviews.
