Flyers booed off ice after 9th straight loss
Rock bottom is seemingly dropping deeper and deeper for the Philadelphia Flyers.
The club dropped its ninth straight game Tuesday, a 3-1 decision at the hands of the San Jose Sharks, and the Philadelphia faithful made sure to voice their displeasure over another lackluster effort.
Fans serenaded the Flyers with boos following the second period and once again after the final buzzer as the team left the ice. As has become somewhat of a common occurrence at Wells Fargo Center, chants of "Fire Hakstol" could also be heard during the game.

They've blown these leads:
2-0 at Jets
1-0, 2-1, 4-3 vs. Flames
1-0 vs. Canucks
1-0, 2-1 at Islanders
2-1, 4-2 vs. Islanders
3-1, 4-3 at Penguins
1-0 vs. Sharks
The Flyers' most recent loss prompted the team to hold a players-only meeting where they discussed the importance of remaining on the same page, captain Claude Giroux told Sam Carchidi of Philly.com.
Giroux also noted that Hakstol shouldn't be shouldering the blame for the Flyers' play during their current slide.
Philadelphia hasn't tasted victory since its 3-1 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks on Nov. 9 and now sits just one point out of the second-last spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Flyers will now enjoy three days off before they tangle with the Boston Bruins on Saturday in another attempt to to halt their losing streak.
