The Philadelphia Flyers did the thing on Monday, finally firing Alain Vigneault and Michel Therrien after eight straight losses. Mike Yeo took over as the Interim Head Coach as the Flyers then lost No. 9 in a row that night against the Avalanche.
Given the position that Chuck Fletcher is in, it doesn’t seem like the Flyers are going to fold anytime soon. Fletcher was given some rope this offseason and he was aggressive in acquiring Ryan Ellis, Rasmus Ristolainen, and Cam Atkinson, along with a few depth pieces. However, the roster is underperforming with Ellis injured, the center depth tested, and a complete lack of goal scoring upfront.
