Flyers fire Berube after 2 seasons

Philadelphia general manager Ron Hextall did not ask one player for a review or recommendation at the year-end meetings on head coach Craig Berube.

Hextall didn’t need any. Another empty season without a Stanley Cup fueled by players who failed to meet expectations told Hextall all he needed to know.

The Flyers fired Berube after two seasons Friday, just the latest head coach in a list four decades long who could not deliver a championship. Hextall made the announcement two days after a news conference in which he left Berube’s fate in limbo.
