On todays episode of things you wouldn't expect; a Flyers forward has voiced his displeasure over the firing of Chuck Fletcher.
The Flyers recently let go their general manager of many years, that left behind absolutely nothing but a few atrocious contracts and an underwhelming-Flyers team, that has shown zero playoff success under Fletcher.

"That falls on us too."
