NHL News: Flyers Fire John Stevens

by KingHenrik on Dec 4, 2009 7:03 PM EST Comment 8 comments

Tim Panaccio Reports the Flyers have fired head coach John Stevens.

I really didn't think they had it in them. John Stevens was way to passive for a team of undisciplined prima-donnas, now I'm terrified they might start playing to there potential. Does anyone know where Mike Keenan is? I think he'd whip them into shape. Not that this will effect the Rangers as they continue to spiral into the cellar. Funny thing is I thought Torts would've been great for the Flyers last year before we hired him, I could see them playing his system they have enough two way guys who have a lot of scoring potential, unlike the Rangers and their no way tweeners.

How will the Rangers beat the Flyers now if they can no longer sit back and allow the Flyers to beat themselves.

Apparently Mike Richards is stepping down as captain and yielding it to Pronger…Pierre McGuire is gonna shit himself over how much intangibles it takes to do that.

“Does anyone know where Mike Keenan is?”

Please tell me you’re joking since you’re a Ranger fan & I’m sure you watch the games.

The Rangers are far too bad of a team

for me to be terrified at the thought of what another crappy team full of underachievers might do with a new coach. Who cares, our team is so bad, let’s just be worried about Sather doing something horrible at the deadline. That’s what terrifies me.
