Confirmed with Link: The new coach of the Philadelphia Flyers is John Tortorella

[Rebels57]

That roster seems like a good fit for him too. Wouldn't be surprised if he's their coach by the end of the week.

Fletcher missing out on Trotz will also turn more of the Authentics against him, so that's a good thing.

If Hextall is given the leash to fire Sullivan, I think he'd do it because he's an idiot. I'd want Sully in a half-second. Looking around the NHL, that's the only currently-employed coach I really want.

Sullivan is a Top 3 coach in the league as far as i'm concerned.

Even Hextall isn't that dumb.

He does have another son that "played" for U-Mass Boston as the fourth goalie. So maybe their coach is for hire.

Only if he also doesn't hire Torts or Tocchet.

New ownership for the Penguins. Probably would want their own management team.

That's the RedSox ownership. I'd be worried what they are going to do.

Every day, I wish the Fenway Sports Group bought the Flyers.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

That is some rough wording.

1. Manitoba’s population is approximately 1.39 million. It sounds like each provincial resident is prepared to donate towards Barry Trotz becoming coach of the Jets, and they were interviewing him on Tuesday. Several sources are drawing a line from Trotz to Vegas, but I’ve heard the Flyers, who have seen him firsthand in Washington and New York, have a deep, deep respect for him and his work. He’s a top candidate there.

They haven’t met him.

Seems wrong...
2. Philadelphia is getting closer to starting its interviews. They know how critical this hire is for them, determined to leave no stone unturned in finding the right person. What’s been on their minds is a coach with a strong track record, demands accountability from players, gets buy-in right away, and makes teams harder to play against.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh also,

That sure is a lot of hockey cliches and buzzwords.

Absolutely horrible.

They just want some old vet c***

“coach with a strong track record”

Retread


“demands accountability”

Nothing screams Flyers like accountability


“gets buy-in right away”

Retread who yells cliches


“makes teams harder to play against”

Not poor defensively

 

[Striiker]

Our draft pick next year is going to be fantastic, if these assholes don't trade it.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

This organization just doesn’t get it. All they’re good for is buzzwords & cliches.

You know what teams don’t harp on culture, accountability, etc.? Teams with talent & teams that also know how to leverage that said talent. The Flyers don’t have enough talent nor does the organization know how to identify or make use of talent.

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

So much panic without understanding what they mean. Trotz, Cassidy, and Sullivan all fit under what was described and I think most would be elated with any of them. Well, besides the usuals who complain about everything,

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Harder to Play Against is the Hockeymens version of Live Laugh Love.

They're out of ideas after trying nothing new and have turned to selling vibes.

This is probably what their daily meetings have been like the last two years.

Harder to Play Against sounds like a GM who doesn't have the vocabulary to express what's in his head. Still not great, but better than what you suggest.

Their favorite go to line. They have no idea how to achieve that and it's obvious, but they sure do love saying it.

Biggest f***ing imbeciles to ever manage this team.

If this isn't setting the fanbase up for a Tortorella hire, I don't know what is.

Good thing I don't give a shit anymore lol

They still have jobs.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Doesn't every team want to be hard to play against?

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

They still have jobs.

For now.... Taking their time with the process is not a bad thing.
