The Fan Blog : Pens and Sullivan Part Ways.. Is he the answer for the flyers?

Tocchet to the Flyers.

Book it.

My list:

Nelson(Hershey) - That team is a wagon and they are developing players for the NHL. I would be curious to see him with a young Flyers team.

Pat Ferschweiler(WMU) - I don't care he is Jones boy. I like what he did with WMU. Again a guy who I think would work with a young team. Also he has prior NHL experience so not completely fresh like Carle.

Jay Woodcroft - He did well with EDM and I would be curious what he could do with the Flyers. See what he has learned off previous experience.

No... I want a young coach, not a retread with Torts ideology.

Another retread……no thx.

My prediction is that Sully ends up with the Rags and Tocchet ends up in Philly. I hope I'm wrong about Tocchet in Philly.

I’m fine with Tocchet. It’s not that important this team won’t be ready to win for years. So if brings discipline with more of an open door and less antics. Fine.

I'm hoping it's more like 3 years before they can be a real deal in the playoffs. Probably not favorites or anything, but just look at the Habs. Are they that much better than the Flyers? And they are giving the top team in the east all that they can handle. They have Suzuki, Caufield and Hutson. Then what? Oh, and Hutson had a pretty bad game last night. I just don't think Tocchet is a very good coach despite last season. I mean, take last season away and what has he done?
