Jakub Voracek Completely Demolishes Former Head Coach With The Flyers
Jakub Voracek, a former Philadelphia Flyers forward, didn't hold back when he recently appeared on a podcast. He had some pointed comments about his former head coach, Alain Vigneault, and reflected on the 2020 bubble playoffs.
Voracek started by acknowledging the Flyers' strong 3-0 start in the round-robin part of the playoffs. However, he had some strong words for Vigneault, describing him as "arrogant." According to Voracek, the team's play in the round-robin resembled their regular-season style before the COVID-19 stoppage.
"We started 3-0 in the round robin or whatever the f*ck that was..., I have a lot of respect for AV, but f*ck was he arrogant." Said Voracek
Things took a turn when the Montreal Canadiens series arrived. Voracek disclosed that there were several meetings before Game #1, leading to significant changes in the team's approach. These changes impacted the Flyers' offensive performance, and Voracek believed they were working too hard to generate offense.

He also argued that if they had continued playing the same way as before the pause, they could have beaten the New York Islanders.
