Flyers fire head coach Craig Berube after two seasons (NBC on Yahoo Sports)

Craig Berube has been fired as coach of the Flyers.

The 49-year-old former Flyers enforcer replaced Peter Laviolette in the fourth game of last season and took the Flyers to a third-place finish in the Metropolitan Division with a 42-27-10 record (94 points). 

The Flyers lost in a seven-game, first-round playoff series to the New York Rangers, who eventually won the Eastern Conference.

This season, the Flyers took numerous steps backwards, missing the playoffs while finishing sixth in the division (12th overall) with a 33-31-18 record (84 points). Berube’s two-year record was 75-58-28.
