Philadelphia Flyers fire HC Alain Vigneault; Mike Yeo named Interim

[Marshall]

As a fan of a division rival, this displeases me.

 

[57special]

YEOLO !

 

[Kranix]

They fired Therrien too?? disrespek

 

[Calad]

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

 

[SomeDude]

Montreal now has two French speaking mediocre re-tread coaches available? How will they decide.

 

[sh724]

Yeo's last time as a HC he lasted less than 1 calendar year

And his replacement went on to win the Cup

 

[BrannigansLaw]

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

Wouldn't it be his 3rd tour of duty? Habs have recycled French coaches so many times it's hard to keep track.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

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

You're welcome.

Do it singing the Moana song in the Macho Man voice

 

[Lt Dan]

Can we change the thread title to

Philadelphia Phlyers phire HC Alain Vigneault; Mike Yeo named Interim

 

[Jee]

I swear if Therrien comes back here........

 

[MXD]

Wouldn't it be his 3rd tour of duty? Habs have recycled French coaches so many times it's hard to keep track.

Well..
2nd return = 3rd tour.

 

[CraigBillington]

Was listening to Vancouver radio, they had Friedman on and had to let him go after a few minutes because he "had some news on Vigneault". I find it interesting when stuff breaks live like that

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They shouldn’t stop there. Chuck Fletcher should be next. Guy f***ing sucks too.

merge them and they upgrade to GM

 

[danyhabsfan]

Briere GM and Therrien Head coach in Mtl

Briere liked Therrien so much in Montreal..

You can have him … if that’s the best you can get, sheesh

 

[likash]

Lol at Mike Yeo. He will be a great tank commander.

Can't make chicken salad out when all you have is chicken garbage to work with.

 

[TaLoN]

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

The Philadelphia Yeobots...er...Flyers.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Rangers fans did warn you about this overrated coach

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

What is Yeos head coaching style? What type of system does he run? I know he didn’t last long in St Louis

 

[Not The One]

So many Habs fans despise Therrien but during his 2nd tenure he had a better record as a coach than any other Habs coach in the last 30 years. His teams generally outperformed expectations. This board was jubilating when he was fired as if it would solve everything. It didn't.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Quite early in the season for house cleaning, 3rd org who's cutting ties with coaches/management within a few days.
Yeo being the interim is kinda hilarious, remember reading a Flyers fan post yesterday in which he warned about this scenario, 24h later and it has become reality. Poster knew what he was talking about..

The Flyers goalies have a .913 save% on the year with both being between a .911 and .917, I don't really see goaltending as their issue.

They're 30th in goals for, that seems to be the bigger issue.

He doesn't want players who think for themselves, he wants Yeobots that run his system no matter what. Creativity has no room on his team of Yeobots.
