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

[Don Nachbaur 26]

IDK. Holmgren managed to work pass media scrutiny pretty well. He took care of himself and was fine. If anything, the media gave him space. However today might be different times

The Flyers alumni still love Berube, so I can imagine him calling the cronies on Montgomery's behalf.

I think Julien who is a veteran x and O's guy and has run multiple systems in different coaching stints would be a good mentor for lapi as well as the young team.
A guy I think I would want to interview is Greg Moore coach of the marlies. He's young has been turning ahlers into nhlers and simultaneously winning.
Whoever they hire needs to be a good teacher. As much as old cakebaker drove me nuts the mark of his solid fundamentals is still on Jeff Carter. We're easily two years from competing so I'm unconcerned about things like matchups and team building

Everyone's kidding themselves if they think chuckles will do anything. Get ready for yeo again

 

[wankstifier]

Next owner?

They do that and I'm out until he's fired or Cuck is.

True, but I think it's probably a little easier for front office members to avoid attention than it is for coaches.

And yes, more importantly, I think we live in different times. Everyone is recording everything with their cell phones, and just dying to capture something that will make waves.

That said, they still may hire Montgomery. As someone said, Berube will push for him, and I'm sure Holmgren will back him, as well.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Julien is a good coach. I think he has some health issues, though, and that may be a consideration.

 

[TheKingPin]

Montgomery seems like a good candidate. Likely would not have been fired if not for his alcohol abuse, not as much of a retread.

If this team gets the first overall and a coach that can put them in the top 5 PP and PK, they are easily a playoff team.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Are you saying that he’s going to goofy on us ?

If he coaches the Flyers, then yes, probably

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Next owner?

This is the dream. A younger, progressive thinker. Then years later we can read his autobiography, where he will write "I couldn't wait to fire Chuck - it gave me a boner just thinking about it. And then working out that trade to Calgary for Hayes was equally orgasmic. It's a good thing I had as many billions as I did, because getting that f***ing dog stink out of the locker room I'd just bought wasn't cheap. We had to ask NASA to come in and use some of their Space-Age polymers in the detergent. When I close my eyes, I can still smell that f***ing mongrel."

Could also be seen like this. We brought up Berube, didn't do that well, he then went on to be an assistant coach for the Blues, then was head coach for their cup win and is still doing well and going back to the playoffs. Montgomery could be part of that again as he was an NHL coach for 2 season, now is an assistant under Berube and they are flying. Montgomery could do well here especially with being sober and a new outlook on how to do well and succeed.

He seems like he gets a lot of production out of players with potential.

What does he run in St. Louis? PK? PP?

What does he run in St. Louis? PK? PP?

Hochman: Blues’ power play, best in franchise history, has club equipped for playoffs (along with strong penalty kill)

The Blues produce on the power play — second-best in the National Hockey League (26.8%). And they slay on the penalty kill — sixth-best (83.9%).

Looks like at least PK. Blues have great special teams this year.

Edit:

PP too

Man advantage to be one of Blues' main weapons again

"It's exciting," O'Reilly said. "You see the personnel out there, it's definitely dangerous."

Get the frick off the fence about him . Do you or do you not like him , I can't tell .

 

[bobbythebrain]

nvm

 

[bobbythebrain]

Gretzky, cuz we already got 99 problems

 

[Danko]

It's gonna be Montgomery, or they will do something dumb/controversial like Babcock or Q.

 

[volnoir]

so just keep yeo lol

So Yeo or Lappy?

Both are great options.

 

[flyersnorth]

Look at the HCs with long successful tenures: Sullivan, Bednar, Brind'Amour, Cassidy, Cooper.

Brind'Amour, Cooper, and Bednar have never coached another NHL team. It will be interesting to evaluate their performance once they do.

Cassidy and Sullivan both coached two seasons with another team before their current gig. And those other team results are mixed.

Hard to separate the signal from the noise.

I can totally see these low-lifes hiring Q.

 

[renberg]

It wouldn't surprise me if it was Paul Maurice. He'll be free of his Winnipeg ties wen the season ends. Good coach with a decent resume. For what it's worth, a former Flyer as well.

More chance of AV being rehired.

Chris are there any available coachs that are not former Flyers?

Dineen, Tocchet, Montgomery, Maurice. Who else am I missing?

"We tried to get him before but we may now have that chance!"
