Adamflyers Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2015/03/06/flyers-part-ways-with-goaltending-coach-jeff-reese/ PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Flyers goaltending coach Jeff Reese is no longer with the team, generalmanager Ron Hextall announced on Friday.“It was a mutual agreement between both parties,” said Hextall. “Jeff was an integral part of our coaching staff for the past six seasons and we wish him well.”Reese joined the Flyers in 2009 after eight seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning coaching staff, including the Lightning’s 2004 Stanley Cup Championship.The Flyers have had eight goalies during Reese’s tenure with the team: Ray Emery, Jeremy Duchesne, Johan Backlund, Segei Bobrovsky, Ilya Bryzgalov, Steve Mason, Cal Heeter, Rob Zepp. This seems rather abrupt. They don't mention a replacement in the little article above. I wonder what led to this. Considering what Reese had to work with, I thought he he did a pretty nice job while he was here. I think Mason credited him with helping him get his game back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Wow, that's a bad move. At the same time, Hextall is moving out all the Holmgren people and bringing in his own people. This should mean that Berube is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briere48 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 berube is at the end of his deal, there's no need to fire him unless they are extending him which is pretty a given that he's not going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I took it too...Hexy wants to bring in his own people...Chief may be next to go once the season ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Definitely odd but with a new GM comes changes... I thought Reese did a admirable job considering what he had to work with and certainly seemed to turn Mason around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hmmmmmm....just thinking out loud here. Bill Ranford is in his seventh season as the Goaltending Coach with the Kings. He was named to his position on July 10, 2006. Since Ranford joined the Kings the club’s team goals-against average (GAA) has dropped steadily during each of his six previous seasons with the club.

OccamsRazor Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 This seems rather abrupt. I'll say i didn't see that coming. Well it's nice to see Hexy isn't going to keep doing the same thing...........Berube i hope at season end will be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hmmmmmm....just thinking out loud here.Bill Ranford is in his seventh season as the Goaltending Coach with the Kings. He was named to his position on July 10, 2006. Since Ranford joined the Kings the club’s team goals-against average (GAA) has dropped steadily during each of his six previous seasons with the club. I'm wondering if he will bring in someone who is an expert at the "puck tracking" technique that Dubnyk has resurrected his career with? It seems to me in an article I read about him that technique was used with the LA goalies also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 So will they bring in another X Flyer good ol boy to replace him????? Frédéric Chabot???? Just throwing that out there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 This seems rather abrupt. They don't mention a replacement in the little article above. I wonder what led to this. Interesting. The most recent issue I think has been whether or not Mason was ready or not to return. Could be that Reese and Hextall didn't have the same opinion. Or it could be something w/r to training for Emery's injury also? This seems like an awkward time for a change as the Flyers are in a push to make the playoffs.

jammer2 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's always puzzled me, how Reese could have been so very horrible as a goalie, so many bad traits and disgusting positioning...but yet he can teach others??? Just how does this work? Do as I say, not as I played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Timing is very odd for this to happen with only 17 games left in the season. Maybe Reese complained the Flyers were making a mistake in rushing Mason back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 maybe there is someone available they want to make a move on soon...maybe Hextall is going to be the goaltending coach and teach Mason how to work on his jab and stick check to the back of the shin!!!

OccamsRazor Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Ok no Stephane Waite he is with Montreal i wasn't sure where he was i knew he was replace with the Hawks and they won 2 Cups with him.

flyercanuck Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 @DaGreatGazoo Well they certainly shouldn't have a hard time finding someone....ANY of their previous 37 goalies should be able to teach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
