Confirmed with Link: Ian Lapperriere out as Phantoms coach

[GKJ]

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Holy shit. Did we actually manage to avoid Lappy coaching the Flyers?

Waiting up to 5 years for Tocchet was the writing on the wall, I guess....

 

[sigma six]

Am actually surprised by this.

 

[Magua]

Wow, some good news for once! Nothing negative to add…..

“Laperriere, 51, has not been fired, although it is unclear what role he will have moving forward, although it seems like Flyers would like to keep him in some capacity.”

Of course.

 

[kudymen]

Jamey hold up

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Wonder if that’s the Flyers call or his? Either way surprising. It seemed he was being groomed for a future with the big club. Either way, that seems like great news. Maybe the Tocchet hiring has done some good if that’s the reason he’s leaving

 

[Rebels57]

Wow, some good news for once! Nothing negative to add…..



Of course.

What's even sadder is that this f***ing leach still wants to stick around after losing his HC job. He is like a barnacle on the side of the S.S. Fly-tanic.

Of course.

Assistant to the General Manager

He already had a role with the big club. He sucked at it.

Someone is going to need to keep the Assistant General Manager seat warm until Laughton retires.

Hope Lappy enjoys the promotion!

Guaranteed promoted to NHL coaching staff announcement coming soon...

Yeah I'm about 80 pct positive I will wake up tomorrow to news of him being assistant to Tocchet

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Wow, some good news for once! Nothing negative to add…..



Of course.

 

[Danko]

Phantoms made the playoffs, did well. Im assuming he's getting a promotion to the big club

 

[Gregor Samsa]

He already had a role with the big club. He sucked at it.

I don’t disagree but I consider going from an assistant to head coach of the farm team to be a slight step on the ladder

Briere and Jones’ AHL Coach Wish List:

1. Scott Hartnell
2. Nick Schultz
3. Jason Smith
4. Eric Wellwood

 

[trostol]

New head of scouting

 

[iceman42]

Anything outside of the "Player Ambassador" title will be disappointing

Moving up to be one of Tocchet's assistants

PP Coach

 

[Hanover Fist]

He’s going to be assistant coach. The new era of orange is the same as the old one but different. It’s impressive how this organization thinks outside the box while staying in it

 

[Rebels57]

Would not surprise me if Tocchet brought him up. It would be extremely dumb and so fully expected.

He was maybe the worst PK coach in Flyers history.

26th in 21-22
30th in 20-21
11th in 19-20 (Covid shortened)
26th in 18-19
29th in 17-18
21st in 16-17
20th in 15-16
27th in 14-15
7th in 13-14

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Make him PK coach again and gun for McKenna

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It is downright hilarious that even when this organization does something smart and proper it comes with the disclaimer that makes it still unbelievably dumb.
