from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer,

Rookie coach Dave Hakstol pointed a finger at himself for the Flyers’ 4-2 loss Tuesday night in Edmonton.

With 14 minutes left, the Flyers, playing their second game in as many nights, looking exhausted as they were clinging to a 2-1 lead. The Oilers were swarming the net, as they had done for most of the game.

In hindsight, Hakstol said after Edmonton rallied for the victory, he should have called a timeout and given his team a chance to recharge.

"That’s not on the guys; that’s on me. That’s where it starts," Hakstol said.

The Flyers, loser of five straight, have to accept a huge part of the blame. They allowed Edmonton to spend most of the night in the offensive end. Edmonton outshot the Flyers, 49-22, and had an 87-41 domination in shot attempts.
