During yesterday's end of season press conference, Flyers forward Cam Atkinson went off on the team, explaining what they need to do in order to see more success.
"You at the way you practice. I learned that from John Tortorella. Torts taught me that. We need more F... You to our game. We were soft to play against."
Cam Atkinson was actually one of the brighter spots for the team this year and one of the only deals made by Fletcher that didn't go south.
Given that there has been no indication to wether or not Mike Yeo will be back next year, are we seeing a slight bias or preference by Atkinson for John Tortorella? After all, Kevin Hayes has played under him and with this D-core, he would be able to implement a tough to play against hard hitting style.
After all, he did manage a Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay in 2004 and has previously gained a good reputation, winning two Jack Adams Awards. Yet, his old school mentality might be a curse. We have many rookies and the past fallouts between Dubois and Laine with Torts is concerning.
If we are to focus on youth maybe bringing someone else in is better. Briere should be calling the shots not Fletcher.
