Is the former Flyers GM on the hot seat?
When I think of Ron Hextall one word comes to mind which is «tough.» When he played for the Flyers as their number one goaltender he would always battle in the net, win many games and occasionally throw a fist or two against players who crossed his crease or at players named Felix.

In all likelihood, there's a good chance that Hextall may lose his job with the Penguins continuing to struggle and possibly fall out of the playoffs picture along with a team that needs to be restructured and possibly rebuilt in the coming years.
One thing's for sure though, I doubt it bothers too many Flyers fans knowing that the Penguins are struggling and may see Sidney Crosby out of the playoffs.
