A knee-jerk reaction isn't out of the question, but doesn't appear likely behind the bench.

Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall told reporters Friday head coach Craig Berube's job is not in jeopardy despite the team's fruitless start to the season.

Of course, Hextall's predecessor and current team president Paul Holmgren didn't show similar faith in Peter Laviolette last year. He was fired after the team stumbled to an 0-3 start.

With just eight wins in 25 games in their coach's first full season at the helm, the Flyers are seated 13th in the conference, and Berube's head coaching record has dropped to 50-40-14.
