New Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet joined Billy Schweim and Nick Earnshaw in The Locker Room on 97.3 ESPN on Saturday morning. See what the coach had to say.
Flyers GM Danny Briere said on Friday that the plan doesn't change and new head coach Rick Tocchet is here for the "long-term." But there's a short window for starting to see progress and achieve results in this long-term rebuild.
The Flyers got their guy in Rick Tocchet. Whether it's the right fit remains to be seen. But for Keith Jones and Danny Briere, it needs to be the first in a series of right decisions.
Bob 'The Hound' Kelly has been in the Flyers organization for over 50 years as a player and ambassador within the community. As Kelly is set to retire, the Flyers honored him 50 years after he joined an exclusive club, scoring the Cup-clinching goal in 1975.
John Tortorella, fired on Thursday by the Flyers, was an all-in hiring at the time. It was all-in to compete and all-in to save Chuck Fletcher's job. Now the Flyers are in Danny Briere's rebuild, and Tortorella was not as all-in as the Flyers wanted him to be.
