The Philadelphia Flyers fired head coach Dave Hakstol on Monday, the third-longest tenured coach in franchise history ... wait, how is that even possible? He was hired in 2015. [Checks record book] Yikes. That is, like, a lot of head coaches right there.
Anyway, the Flyers fired Dave Hakstol on Monday in the first significant move for new general manager Chuck Fletcher. There were reports Hakstol was going to be let go. He asked Fletcher for a vote of confidence on Monday. Fletcher couldn't offer one. Flyers practice started without a head coach on the ice, and soon it was announced that AHL bench boss Scott Gordon would be taking over on an interim basis.
