As you know, the Philadelphia Flyers have officially named John Tortorella as their new head coach. He became the 23rd head coach in the history of the franchise.
He's going to bring a lot of experience behind the team's bench, and when you think about what Fletcher wants to do this summer, the hiring of Tortorella makes sense.
With some changes to the roster, and the venue of Torts', the Flyers could very well battle for a playoff spot next season. The fit seems to be there...
"I am very excited to be joining such a historic and well-respected franchise like the Philadelphia Flyers (...) From my very first conversation with Chuck, I knew this was the right fit for me and I believe in the direction this team is heading. Having faced the Flyers for several years, I know firsthand how tough of a city Philly is to play in and I look forward to being on the right side of the bench on opening night in front of such a loyal and passionate crowd of Flyers fans," said Tortorella.
