Arrr, me hearties! The scallywags o' the Philadelphia Flyers be throwin' their head coach, John Tortorella, overboard! Just days after he spouted some odd jibber-jabber 'bout wantin' to coach, they’ve decided he be more trouble than treasure! Aye, what a merry farce!
Ahoy there, mateys! Gather ‘round as I spins ye a yarn 'bout the Philadelphia Flyers, who’ve cast aside their head coach, John Tortorella, after nearly three years sailing the turbulent seas of the NHL!‘Twas a fateful Thursday when the word came down the plank, after Tortorella muttered some peculiar sentiments 'bout his lack o’ interest in coachin’ during a season as stormy as a tempest. With but nine games left, the Flyers brought forth their associate captain, Brad Shaw, to steer the ship as interim skipper.
Said Daniel Briere, the general of this ship, "It be a hard decision, but it’s best for our voyage." Tortorella, a hearty leader known for his fierce demeanor, ended his tenure with a record fit for Davy Jones' locker—97 wins and 107 losses, with a dreadful slide of 11 losses in 12 matches. Aye, he was let go with a year still on his bounty contract!
After a particularly rough skirmish against the Toronto crew, where they were sunk 7-2, Tortorella took the blame, though his words left many scratching their heads. Briere admitted that while the comments played a part, it be just one wave in a rough sea of decisions. So here we be, ready to chart a new course for the Flyers, with Tortorella off to seek treasure elsewhere!
