Tony DeAngelo Divulges On Split From Flyers

Tony DeAngelo recently signed with the Carolina Hurricanes and spoke with reporters during his introductory press conference on what went wrong with the Philadelphia Flyers.

It’s not exactly hard to guess why Tony DeAngelo ended up not being a fit with the Flyers. Being benched for the final five games of the season is reason enough to believe that a split was going to have to come. There was even more writing on the wall before that as the relationship between DeAngelo and John Tortorella was the biggest reason for his dismissal.

”Obviously the coach and I wound up not fitting together, I guess that would be the main reason for leaving the team and being a free agent again the way it worked out,” DeAngelo said to reporters on Tuesday afternoon.
