3 Palmateers Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Not one of the Fly Guys, but I would pursue Tortorella. And, if I couldn't get him, I'd convince Boudreau to exercise his option to walkaway given the Canucks won't extend him until after he coaches a full-season. Mike Babcock would probably want back in after all his negative press has died down. Flyers need a guy who fits the personality of the city. To me, that's Tortorella. Seems like the perfect guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say for sure but I can't say no to him as well. Whatever it takes to get back to playing winning hockey and chasing the Cup again I am good with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I want Julien, Quenneville or Torts. They have the resume with winning a Cup, have won Cups like Quenneville (in spite of what has happened in Chicago with the whole Kyle Beech thing), and Torts and his temperament along with his battles/sparrings with the media. I don't want another assistant level coach, nor do I want another (GOD FORBID) college coach, no matter how successful. If they HAVE to go the assistant coach route, then hire Dineen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they hire Queneville I will turn in my Flyer fan card and pull for the local Carolina Hurricanes. That guy should not be let around hockey ever again.

GrittyForever Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Gronborg is supposed to be some sort of coaching genius but idk if he could bring it to the NHL. It's a gamble. I believe the Sabres were considering him before they settled on Granato full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quenneville should never be aloud to coach in the NHL ever again. After reading a lot of went on with the Hawks. He lost any right to be head coach in NHL. To me he was one the worst enablers in the whole scandal. I don't believe an NHL team would think it's worth the headache. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachX Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Im kind of hoping they go with Torts. Sure, he's brash and offensive (not to me), But the guy gets positive results wherever he goes. Bring him and let him put his foot in a few asses. Get this team going on the right direction. Then you can reassess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can reassess There are very few coaches I just truly can't stand, but Torts is absolutely on that list. He turns out to be an embarrassment everywhere he goes imo. His only use is as a laugh track when he decides it's a good idea to go full turdface and spar with some local writer or another. This team needs a coach who can guide and help develop young talent (and we need to acquire said young talent). Torts can barely speak through two sentences without throwing a pre-teen tantrum. I have no interest in watching him act like my irate 80 year old neighbour every week because some player or another didn't face dive into a slap shot hard enough for his liking. We need someone who will act like a professional -- not a middle school bully. Edited May 6, 2022 by elmatus 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can reassess Do you think the Flyers are a summer or two away from being contenders ? Looking at the roster as it is today? I don't I think Fonzi is a good coach, I would love to see him spar with the beat writers, that would be appointment tv IMO. He would do all the things you say. He's won ,a lot, and he manages to ice teams that are greater than the sum of their parts. Like I said all good things. Does his program elevate this Flyers team back to "definitely a playoff team® radoran" A bubble playoff team? better than that? Is that what we want to be perrenial overachiving and in the second tier of "good teams" ? That's where I think Torts gets us- back to what everyone says is unacceptable. IMO the team needs better players, there were a bunch of talented players in Columbus that couldn't wait to get the f out of there because of the way Torts coached. Panarin, DuBois, Jones. All those guys are still playing well. I think the team needs built before it gets turned over to a guy like Torts if that's even needed. There's not enough talent on the Flyers roster, I don't know that having him behind the bench is a beacon for talented players to come take Comcast money. I don't think this is the time for Fonzi in Philly, the time for that was when they hired AV Edited May 6, 2022 by mojo1917 grammar, it's almost always grammar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the young talent, I agree, we dont have any. But more to my way of thinking, I want a coach who will treat all his players equally, and I'm tired of Flyer players being coddled. I don't want young players treated with kid gloves. I want them treated like men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing the playoffs in 3 of the last 7 seasons with CBJ and VAN. Losing in the first round 3 of those 4 appearances, and second round in the 4th of those appearances. His "schtick" is old, outdated and overrated. He is EXACTLY that "just make the playoffs" bs coach. SO many available names that are a better choice than Tortorella. Funny how you are criticizing his PLAYOFF success, when we are Flyer fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
