No need to fight -- while it has been done that a coach has been told they were fired and it not get out, it's not the norm
- AllInForFlyers


I think it is the norm. I expect Hextall to announce Berube has been let go.

Bye bye Berube.

He isn't calling a press conference to toot the guys whitsle.

Give me Tippet or Sutter. Babcock just isn't realistic.

- hereticpride

I think all three guys are realistic. The Flyers have won over many players and coaches through free agency over the years.

That's it -- this presser has been planned, but the kicker is Carchidi saying an announcement is expected about Chief. While I know some don't view these reporters as particularly viable, he wouldn't just word it that way without having an inkling that an announcement is actually being made -- and in that regard, you don't, as SSB said, conduct a public execution like that
- AllInForFlyers

sure is a possibility but then why not just give the guy a vote of confidence one of the 500 times he was asked about it in the last 3 months? did hextall really glean that much from the exit interviews w/ the players?

I have to admit, I'd really like to shock waves go through the hockey world as a team not expecting to win the first over pick get it. Let's just avoid the Devils, Panthers and coyotes.

Agreed -- it's not a lack of respect to have fired Chief by now, if you were going to do it. Peter Horachek, Dave Nonis and Ted Nolan have all been pink-slipped -- firing sucks no matter when you do it

I would but I feel like they'd trade the pick at the podium for Lucic, some picks and Chara's skeleton.

Do you think it's true that they didn't want him and Shero to go to Washington?

Get ready, boys and girls:

If Carchidi's tweet is accurate, get ready for one more year of Chief

Because you don't tell people to come the next day for an announcement about a coach that you are firing. You just give him the shiv, then hold the availability

I'd say be prepared for an extension. Because the Flyers love throwing good money after bad.

And I'm sorry, but who the heck is wheels?

HA!

That's Nutter's nickname for Vinny Lecavalier, which always stuck with me because he always attached a burning wheelchair with it last year when discussing his skating

Whatever their reasons, it was a disgraceful way to treat a head coach. If that was their intent, I would say that Washington made out pretty well anyway.
