Was well regarded in Pittsburgh where he won two more cups as an assistant. That led to HC gigs where he didn’t get golden opportunities but I think the teams overperformed at least in stretches. They need at least a stop gap #1 goalie this coming year. If they don’t get that, even Scotty Bowman couldn’t make this team competitive. So, I’m OK with it.
the new triumvirate.
what is the over/under on the number of clichés Hilf, Jonesy, and Briere use at the press conferance?
the flyer felators will be out in full force if this hire happens. yes he made his coaching career outside of philly. that career is not good in any way. how can peeps try to rpo this guy up when you look at his track record.
genuine question, who has he coached under his tutelage that he turned into all star level players? did he help turn anyone’s career around? has he developed any late round picks into solid nhl players?
They are so far from contention you can’t even laugh about it any longer. there was never ever any fn rebuild. all peeps this blind or on the payroll? both?
flyers preach culture yet tocchet had that “room” in disarray. like torts he quit on the team. just the guy I want.
If/when Tocchet gets hired, does he keep Shaw? Seems like VAN’s blueline was pretty effective without Shaw. Wonder if they sign Pius Suter as a stop gap center in free agency. Might be easier to sign him to a multi year deal, then Cates who looks like he wants to wait a year before signing multi term. My expectation is they trade for a goalie over trying to sign a UFA and hope for a good season.
Friedman on Tocchet and the Flyers: “It’s coming.”
Says Jay Woodcroft, Brad Shaw, Jay McKee were all interviewed.
With the exception of Lappy and Shaw, no coach is taking this job without reassurances they will upgrade the goaltending. Otherwise setting up for failure. Is there a more overrated coach than Tocchet? What has he accomplished? If he is hired the flyers will be strutting around like peacocks thinking they outsmarted everyone once again. Sadly this was likely the flyers plan from day 1 hiring Tocchet. What an original, boring, predictable, and path of least resistance hire/plan. Cant wait to e that smile on “jonesy” face when announced. Has any team wasted as much money on coaching the last 5 years with zero results?
