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

[Rebels57]

So who's cheering for what team if Torts gets hired? I've got Edm

The Avs, especially if they lose to Tampa, plus whatever team Giroux goes to.

Canes, easy choice.

How about a free moose for transportation purposes? @bennysflyers16 @Captain Dave Poulin

My buddy Hustler made the beer offer, Little Brown Jug is damn good beer too, tough to beat

Sens will be tough to root for .....

Flyers still for me unfortunately.

There is mutual interest for Giroux to return to Florida

Penthouse in Aventura, 6000 sq. ft. $5-6,000,000.00 Nanny. Curbside valet. Concierge front desk. dock for 72 foot Hatteras for the leisurely ride to the Bahamas. What is not to like in Miami area.......????

1. 8 deaths due to stupid drivers not obeying the railroad crossings or getting caught on the railroad tracks. This year.......
2. Redlights and stop signs are optional
3. 90 year olds driving
4. I-95 along the Delaware River in Philly is a cakewalk next to I-95 in Miami at rush hour.
5. Every day at least 3 accidents from Exit 16 to Exit 32 on I-95

This is a personal observation since I was there last week.

95 is pretty bad thru Delaware into Philly now because of the construction.

 

[flyers0909]

I for one want a Simple Sam podcast where he just talks to himself.

Why did you do this

That's nothing, I-10 in Houston has been under construction for 40 years.

A pleasant dream while it lasted.

Idiot, Flyers job is much more appealing or at least Shill Meltzer thinks it is.

Also, it cracks me up that there was the idea that the Flyers wouldn’t name a coach during this time because of the SCF and they don’t wanna take away from the league’s spotlight.

Cue Vegas not giving a f***.

Love it so much. Don’t love Good Guy Chuck though.

I’m not a Bruce Cassidy fan at all. Kind of relieved right now

Vegas fired DeBoer so fast, that type of disrespect is a turn off for other top coaches. I mean not as fast as the Flyers fired Vigneault on a longer contract…..but the sheer disrespect.

Tortorella is actually a better coach for this team than Cassidy. My column:

 

[DancingPanther]

At this point it doesn't matter who coaches. They're so far stuck up their own asses and in quicksand that they won't be competitive until at least 2 coaches from now. This next one is just fodder. They don't even have the draft picks for this coach to groom, nor do the have the developmental staff to do so in general. So it's a big whatever for me, check back in 4-6 seasons. Sco Giroux, Sco McDavid

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Well that’s quite the leap to make based on a job being filled and nothing else…

 

[renberg]

Interesting if true. Thought that Trotz would go there if he didn’t take the Jets job. It’s a club that has talent but is short notice on cap space; a bit thin on the back end with questions in goal. Cassidy has his veteran roster. Let’s see what he does with it.
My call is that the Avs will continue to whip the LVGKs. They’re head and shoulders the class of the West. Cassidy is to going to change that.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I pray we get Trotz

I just want someone with a clue

It was Bruce Cassidy or the Don't Play Kids.

Vegas seems to be well built for the Avs and have beaten them in the past

Excited to watch more knights than flyers this season

Vegas had a weird season. I still think they’re a very good team and while just a notch below the Avs at the moment (and may be on an even playing field depending on how the Avs UFAs go).

They have given the Avs trouble in the past including a PO loss to them. They also tied for the President’s Trophy IIRC last year.
