It’s too bad. I think everyone old enough to see Tocchet play loved him as a Flyer, but his head coaching record is really spotty. Missed the playoffs in 7 of his 9 years. No track record at all of attracting or bringing star players aboard. The Flyers need a defensive system; with that comes good goaltending. His exit from the Canucks is troubling
Tick Tocch Ya Dont Stop
A coach is only as good as their goaltender. Why have the flyers head coaches lasted on average of 2.3 years?
Although I wanted DB & co. to hire Brad Shaw as the HC and give him a shot, I wish Tocchet the best as our 25th HC !! GO FLYERS!!!
I would like to see a complete coaching staff overhaul . Results do not justify retention.
Keep Brad hopefully
Pressure is Know on DB to build team
I notice young people don't like the hire, they don't know the man like older guys like myself
Thanks Jason, I hope you're doing well. I'm sorry for all the tired narratives you'll have to deal with coming from this move. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of it because I'm not as sold as the inner hockey community on Tocchet's track record. I think he's done well with really good teams. He doesn't have that here. Nevertheless, I agree with the positives of this move and now I turn to hope.
Meanwhile, with good teams getting railroaded out of the playoffs like Vegas and probably Toronto, I am hoping Danny is looking at some players to poach on these rosters. The way Toronto is playing, they HAVE TO make a change. I hope Danny is calling about Matthews, personally. Maybe they look to move him and prioritize keeping Tavares and paying Knies, while moving on from Matthews and Marner? Also, TOR is pretty deep in goal. Maybe we could score Woll or Hildeby as part of a deal. And Vegas, I expect Eichel is untouchable but calling about Hertl, Roy, or Barbashev feels worthwhile. Personally, even though they're still rolling, I'd call Florida about Lundell and see what that may cost and try to make it happen.
I really liked Torts but with him gone Tocc was my hope as our next Bench Boss! Great news!
Will be interesting to see what Tocchet can do with Tippet. Could be the perfect mentor for that kid. Getting the assistant coaches right is critical. Please bring back Shaw.
I like to see the distrust from the old fans. I like to see long time fans worried about another former Flyer alumni.
If Toccet understands Philly, he needs to have success with the old fans – more than the new fans that he will bring in.
If the players want a coach who blends strict with all the other parts of a good coach, and if his staff is well organized, they need to play hard from October to the very last game.
I feel somewhat mid on this BUT – I like Tocc, I want him to succeed more or less regardless of where he goes, and I think the fact that he played here is an upside. (not sure why this pisses so many people off) … I maybe would have preferred someone younger or more development-focused but hey, I'm excited to see how it goes.
Just like old times, except without Ed Snider and Kate Smith.
PLED GUILTY TO ORGANIZING AN ILLEGALGAMBLING RING IN 2006. SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE LEAGUE
I did not want them to hire Tocchet. Not because he is an ex-Flyer though. I don't have an issue with that at all. Loyalty is an admirable trait. There are a large percentage of people in this country working jobs where there is no loyalty shown, no matter how hard they work. Back to Tocchet. I don't think he is the right guy for the job right now. I didn't want them to hire a doormat as a coach, but I think some of the younger guys need a little leeway.
the former Flyer thing as a head coach is taken out of proportion, however former Vancouver coaches is starting to trend. (Alain Vigneault, Tortorella, and now Tocchet)
So, after this Rick Tocchet thing bottoms out in 3 years, Adam Foote will be footing the bill behind the Flyers' bench.
Always liked him as a player, like the hire 😊
Briere better shape this roster over the next 2 seasons starting at the Draft. We all get to watch and see if he has the stones to make impact decisions concerning on ice NHL TALENT.
Being a former Flyer is a good thing. I think he will work harder for a team he loves. Also, it’s not like they turned down Scotty Bowman to hire a rookie
Bobby Clarke was an amazing player. He was horrible as GM, especially with his mishandling of generational talent Eric Lindros.
Bill Barber was one of the great Flyers. He never won a playoff series as head coach.
Craig Berube was a tough as nails Flyer. He never won a series as Flyers head coach (though he did find success with the Blues).
Daniel Briere was a good player with Philly. As GM, there have been some draft errors, mishandling of players (Gauthier) and questionable trades (Gauthier for Drysdale???).
At some point, this franchise needs to learn that being a former Flyer and "understanding this city and what it means to be a Flyer" is just not enough of a resume to justify the hire.
