Confirmed with Link: John Tortorella relieved of his duties as Flyers coach. Brad Shaw to take interim charge for now.

If you want to full tank one more year just make Rocky the coach.

Remember when we were told flyers are only a good goaltender away from playoffs.

On the plus side, if there is truth in Friedman reporting Torts stepped down on his own as opposed to Briere firing him, then it's unlikely Torts is being moved upstairs to some managerial role.

I mean Briere's statement says that he made the decision to relieve him of his duties so the truth actually being Tortorella stepped down will make me chuckle a bit.

Always a clusterf***.

The team lying about how the coach left in order to save face is so on brand. Definitely the most hilarious option.
 
Lazy is right. His comment forced the firing, and now he gets all the money he's owed without having to do any more work.
With his comments before about not wanting to be a lame duck head coach, I am actually of the mind that the trio decided the easiest thing to do was let Briere take the "credit" for removing him when he was not interested in coaching anymore so Torts could still get his money.
