It’s no surprise that we are enamored with the fact that the Philadelphia Flyers are seemingly playing good hockey that is just missing that top-end talent edge to get them over the top. The foundation has been there throughout this entire season and while some returning players like Sean Couturier have made such a massive impact on this team, and young players taking a gigantic step in development like Joel Farabee has, a lot of the reason why the Flyers are finding success are the people behind the bench.
John Tortorella and his right-hand man in Brad Shaw has transformed this team and made it in their image.
