tocchet has been a had coach of 4 incompetent organizations. wonder why no winning or top orginization has ever hired him.
going to go out on a limb, flyers offered the most money. Briere has proven so far to be incompetent.
5 years and 5 million. for a losing coach. he wont even get the same results torts got. let that sink in.
doesnt matter how many years he got , look at the coaching lifespan. especially for the flyers. tocchet has no idea about these junior players and his opinion shouldn’t matter where it concerns the draft.
part of me is 100% happy they made this hire. can watch them spin their wheels for the next 5 years. at least the draft and free agency will be fun as they will do everything in their power to add players to win “now”. comcast loves wasting money on coaches with nothing to show for it.
the new triumvirate.
what is the over/under on the number of clichés Hilf, Jonesy, and Briere use at the press conferance?
With Tocchet being named HC, I believe Frondell will be high up on their draft board. Desoyners and Martone probably will be higher then Hagens. If they want forwards who play more north/south, Hagens is probably the least likely to fit that mold.
Tocchet won’t be here in 3 years when those guys are ready to take off. his hire should have no bearing on who they take.
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.
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?
