Flyers fire John Tortorella, name Brad Shaw interim head coach

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

It's too bad, he became a sacrificial lamb with that roster. Looked like they had something to build on after last season. Instead of bolstering the team, Briere sold off even more for futures this year which made Torts a sitting duck. Tough to succeed without quality NHL goaltending and a weak C group.

Still, they'll be better off in the future from having him as a coach these past couple years. Curious to see if they stick with Shaw or someone else ends up behind the bench.

They had nothing to build off of last year.
 
I'd think he'd change a lot of what ills the Oilers, but we all know if Knobauch is out, Bowman would bring in Quenneville instead
