Big mistake.
I hope he goes on to inherit a bunch of legitimate first and second line players and a cup.
think there be any transparency in the press conference… ???
culture. culture. culture. ha. ha. ha.
didnt keith jones say "we need players to want to come here" (?)
the gm wont b transparent especially without follow-up questions…
is there a set back in the rebulid??
Torts going from whipping boy to whipping boy warranted firing. Can't just pick guys you don't like for funzies
thank you charlie "the brand is chaos!!!!!!"
They need players, not a new coach. Painful to see how far this franchise has fallen.
Good move it had to be done.
This better not derail the tank
what comments? what did i miss
Philly has to be the most poorly run team in the league. The coach never had a chance and the two bozos(ex-hocky players) running the team area joke. This team will continue to be bad for the next few years. I feel sorry for the players and the fans.
Torts has a history of wearing thin on players after 2-3 years. History repeats itself.
No real surprise.
Team won't win so long as they're owned by Comcast
I don't care who they hire to be the next coach frankly because until they improve their draft and development department it's never going to matter.
Shaw is interim.
Next year we need a coach with a history of motivating and developing young talent. We’re in a rebuild with the future being in the draft. Money has to free up still for future FAs. Any near-term signings should be quality character types who are willing to help make the young talent into pros. Getting quality free agents in the future will be when the team improves.
Same old Flyers s***!
Torts suck not fit for team
I can’t believe people are on here happy he got fired. He was making these kids men, now we are going to watch them hire a soft coach who will let them do what they want.
Thanks for the emergency show guys! Personally wasn’t surprised although I thought they'd wait to part ways over the summer. Rocky is absolutely next.
