THE THEME of Ron Hextall's first season-ending news conference as Flyers general manager was clarity.
Reporters wanted clarity on Craig Berube's job status. The GM said he had not decided whether to bring the Chief back for the final season of his contract, extend it, or thank him for his service and move on.
"He's our head coach," Hextall said. "And if something changes, I'll let you guys know."
OK, fine. But then Hextall asked for some clarity, about a perceived philosophical rift between his vision going forward and that of team chairman Ed Snider.
"I'll tell you guys this again - our relationship is phenomenal," said the GM.
