pilldoc Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We all knew he was a lame duck for the last half of the season,but I guess this makes it official... https://www.broadstreethockey.com/2022/5/3/23054697/philadelphia-flyers-head-coach-mike-yeo-not-returning-report-kevin-weekes I've heard names such as Dineen and Tochett. Personally as much as I loved Tochett as a player, I want this organization to go outside Flyers history and former players... (yeah I know AV was outside the Flyers organization, but you get my point. Who does everyone want? More importantly...who is available????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) I don't see where this will be feasible, but I like the guy that coached Minnesota State and in the USDP. Mike Hastings. I think this coaching project is about building something, it's not about maintaining or reestablishing after a down year. Stuff is broke, and a coach that can develop talent, institute accountability and create a winning culture is what's needed. Hastings understands the Gen Z athlete, that can't be underestimated. Fonzi, Quennville, DeBoer, Maurice all those guys do nothing for me. Quennville shouldn't be allowed to coach again after the 'Hawks scandal. Plus, what's he got to prove at 63 with championships? I can't help but think a retread is coming our way. I've seen Tocchet and Dineen mentioned also @pilldoc Whatever, those guys might be fine, I don't subscribe to the "no Old Flyers " mantra, they could be alright but again, they've already failed in the NHL so did they learn ? Plus the hiring or Hastings would signal to me at least, the recognition that **** is indeed broke and we're starting anew. I stand completely ready to be whelmed maybe under-whelmed by the coaching selection. Edited May 3, 2022 by mojo1917 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet the farm on Tocchet. Six years as head coach. Zero playoff round wins (one playoff round). Team never finished higher than 4th. "Flyer hockey" "tough to play against" yadda yadda It's been inevitable since he was inducted into the Flyer Hall of Fame next to Homer. As always, happy to be wrong... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever the brilliant minds bring in to coach, I just hope they get us Connor Bedard. I'll say Neal Broten. Never coached a day in his life. Minnesota North Stars alltime leading scorer though. And he's from Minnesota. If Homer and Fletch read this, consider it a done deal. Edited May 3, 2022 by flyercanuck 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewin Flames Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Not that my .02 matters, but i thought that Yeo, was a sh!t choice from the jump....any team he's been the HC at, has been much improved after his departure, and the flyers were less than dismal after his arrival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrittyForever Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Personally, I want Tortorella, and I give him carte blanche> Anybody who doesn't give him the work ethic he requires gets the door. But it'll be Tochett. There'll be some pile of rhetoric about Flyer pride and understanding what it means to be a Flyer and returning to Flyers hockey and a bunch of other words like that. Bet on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I saw Luke Richardson's name in an article. He sort of checks some boxes. Defense, Chuck mentioned that needs to be better. Has NHL assistant experience, AHL head coaching experience, International experience. At one time he was considered a bright assistant poised to take the next step in the NHL. He is a former Flyer.

It's not really right/wrong. It's opinion. But you already know that. I dont think an unproven college guy is the answer. When has that ever worked out? They need a proven NHL coach. One who won't buy into the players bs, and one who knows how to win in today's NHL. And they need to leave him the f**k alone, and let him do what he does best. This is not the time for science experiments. That includes the GM position as well Edited May 3, 2022 by CoachX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
