Philadelphia Flyers fire HC Alain Vigneault; Mike Yeo named Interim

[GKJ]

2nd in the Met last year. That's pretty good...

It was completely fraudulent. The Flyers got hot while others came back to them like the Islanders and penguins. That was never the real team, they were 9th in the conference in mid January

I'm sorry Ranger fans. I should have believed you. But, he was even worse than you said.

 

[Stickpucker]

Peter Deboer is also like this. Took Devils and Sharks to finals his first year, then got worse. We'll see if it happens to Vegas.

Yeah Deboer comes in strong but can't stand the pressure.

Wow! I wonder who they hire?

Mike Yeo probably

 

[JimmyG89]

I was told AV wasn't that bad at the beginning of the season, how things have changed. Worst coach in the league, bar none. Wish they kept him longer, but I guess they've dug somewhat of a hole to try and crawl out of.

It only took a few seasons, but that team is very easy to play against. No physicality at all. AV does that to every team, but doing it to the Flyers, a historically physical team, is his greatest achievement.

He's just cowardly. Didn't he say something about games can be won 1-0 when we played you? Just a joke and you guys will be instantly better.

It's okay, bud. We're survivors. Never forget and try to overcome.

Flyers now need the Islanders to fire Trotz

 

[C0DITH]

I also want to apologize to Ranger, and Canuck fans. I feel like were now part of a special group, like Survivors of the Vietnam war or some shit.

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

Mike Babcock is available

The recovery begins instantly.

 

[Evergreen]

Great. I really hope they also fired Yeo and Therien. And please for the love of God do not promote Lappy.

My guess is Tocchet takes over. I wouldn’t mind Babcock or Torts though tbh.

I was hoping for a Giroux trade but I’ll take this for now.

 

[LevelingSolo]

I get that AV sucks but what is with the big obsession with Tocchet? He's 178-200-60 and made the playoffs once

 

[llamateizer]

Therrien is out too.

Finally, I like Ducharme. please don't fire him

 

[MXD]

He's part of the OBC and that's really the only prerequisite to get a coaching job in this league.

 

[JimmyG89]

Flyers are an AV team if I've ever seen one. He might be the worst coach in the league at this rate. Hart could bounce back, but I could not think of a worse place for Martin Jones to go. No backup goalie. I can only imagine what Risto is going to look like in this system. It won't be pretty. Forwards are good, not great. I really like Atkinson as a player, but this is set up for disappointment all around.

Nailed it

 

[MXD]

YES THIS PAVES THE WAY FOR THE TRIUMPHANT 2ND RETURN OF MICHEL THERRIEN TO MONTRÉAL.

 

[Lapa]

Flyers fans are about to witness the excitement of Mike Yeo style hockey

 

[Kranix]

Just take that interim tag of Mike Yeo right now. Future hofer

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Mike Yeo. Lmao.

 

[Shocker]

Mike Yeo as an interim and Tocchet high on the list for the next coach?

Haha, it might get worse before it gets better.

 

[doomscroll]

The greatest quality of Yeo as a coach is that you get to say “x in a row for Mike Yeo” during streaks.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

As a Tampa fan, all I can say is...

You're welcome.

And glad you waited until the season series was over. Thanks for the points.
