[Jiggy Fly]

Breaking news from Comcast Sportsnet in Philly. The Flyers fired John Stevens. They lost 6 of last 7 and have been shutout in their last 8 periods.

Hopefully my boys can get it together after this. They weren't supposed to be this bad.

wow this is a shocker i can not believe this wow

I hope that Jacques Martin is next. Both teams have no excuse for not scoring with all the talent they have on offense.

Surprise Surprise Mike Richards at it again. Calls team meeting last night and Stevens is now gone. He talked bad about Hitchcock when they canned him . This organization needs to understand they will never win until they get a goalie. As a long time flyers fan it's dissapointing that they spend so much money on every position but Goalie.They are going to bring in Laviolette-omg

Laviolette is a good coach and Rayzer is a decent Tendy. They'll be alright. Good move.
