John Tortorella Named (Part Time) Head Coach Discussion

[Beef Invictus]

Scott's no rocket scientist, but he's still the heart of the problem.

Imagine if Fletcher went to Scott and said we need to rebuild, he'd then ask Holmgren and Clarke, and what do you think they'd say?

Now who would Scott choose to believe, the guy telling the truth or the guys selling pie in the sky?

We already know of an example of a leader refusing to accept the obvious truth when it means accepting an unpleasant reality.

Fletcher wouldn't tell Scott that, because Fletcher has never once pursued a rebuild. He is of the Clarke mold, what with learning the ropes under Clarke. That's why he's here.

Clarke is the heart of the problem, far more than even Scott.

“I like coaching the mind. The mind is such a fascinating thing, you can’t feel it”

“I’ve given the X’s and O’s To my assistant coaches for the past few years, and just worked on the mind”

He’s a peculiar cat.

We just have to hope that Fletcher hires good assistants.


Because he's been so famously good at that.

Lol Beef, I’m not sure this lasted very long.

Minutes. It lasted minutes. Lazy scumbag.

Wait until we know the next two, there's always one assistant whose primary role is conduit, not tactics.

The way Tortorella has talked, he prefers to be the conduit and leave the technicalities to the assistants. So we are off to the usual Fletchery bad start. Kind of ridiculous how predictable it has been.

And it went so well.

Cronyism over qualification never backfires for The Flyers.

I want my hockey team back. Not this f***ing facade

Yeo doesn't get a job elsewhere so comes back as either an Assistant or HC of LHV and Lappy is an Assistant.

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

Fire Tortorella.

Yeo and Lappy 2 illiterate cretins, it's obvious for a long time

Yeo just got hired by the Canucks: Canucks hire Yeo as assistant coach - TSN.ca

Or are you referring to next season already? Anyway, as bad as Mike Yeo may be as a HC, he is getting gigs in the NHL in coaching even though in lesser functions.

Shaw is a very capable hire, and he likes a very aggressive PK, something I'll enjoy watching after the passive PK of the last few years.

Now for the offensive assistant.

As I said, Williams is a nothing burger, the guys who are the "offensive and defensive coordinators" are the key hires.

Every time you say something is a nothing burger it ends up biting the team.

Everything matters

Yeah but the team stunk anyway so it didn’t REALLY matter. Those singular things weren’t the exact reason why they stunk.

The Flyers are the perfect summation of why Western civilization has failed.
