John Tortorella is the 23rd head coach in Flyers history. Interestingly enough, after just one season, he is 18th all time in wins (31). He can also jump up another five spots on the list if he can eke out at least 30 wins this year.
When he came on board last year, there were a lot of people who were concerned that his past “reputation” would follow him here to Philly.
