Yah-fricking-hoo another Minnesota Wild coach. Should fit right into this $hit show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Torchetti replaced Yeo in Minnesota, so now you already know the Flyers' next coach. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 At this stage, I feel indifferent. The season's poor performance under two coaches (perhaps a bit more effort under Yeo) tells me coaching isn't the issue--it's talent. Torchetti's record isn't so hot...but the Minnesota connection gives clarity....OMG, we have gone from Flyers Fraternity to Wild Insiders. It doesn't leave me warm and fuzzy. That said, perhaps he can be a bad cop needed to offset other messaging. Yeo is pretty clear in his pressers that pooping on his players may not help matters. Maybe he needs someone to light particular fires. It was hard to believe that he was with my backyard Panthers in 2003-04. That is almost 20 years ago. I had forgotten his place in the coaching merry-go-round on the Everglades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 So he's coached his teams to miss the playoffs twice and then lose in the 1st round. Coached in Minnesota. Yep, that checks all the boxes for Fletch. How the hell is this clown GM? Coaching record[edit] Team Year Regular season Post season G W L T OTL Pts Finish Result FLA 2003–04 27 10 12 4 1 (75) 4th in Southeast Missed playoffs LAK 2005–06 12 5 7 – 0 (89) 4th in Pacific Missed playoffs MIN 2015–16 27 15 11 – 1 31 (87) 5th in Central Lost in First Round vs DAL 2-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 When Torchetti coached the Wild he was refreshingly straightforward or even blunt in the pressers. If he's still the same, he won't speak corporate bs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Yes he will or he will be gone. Flyers org doesn't accept new blood or ideas. "Yes" men only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vis Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Torchetti won’t be a long term answer. Guy’s first name might as well be “interim.” Funny to me that he’s in COVID protocol already 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 You know I really am starting to feel sorry for you guys. But look at the bright side, in 2-3 years you guys will be so bad that there is no way the owner won't finally fire Fletcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except, I think, in Flyers' fans case, they want to know when the OWNER can be fired, so the clogging upper management can then be cleansed Ol Fletch is just the 'sniffles' on a much larger medical problem...
