This oughta be interesting.

On the one hand, Torts has a history of coaching up bad teams into contenders (before getting run out of town because he's an abrasive asshole). Or, in the case of Vancouver, he was run out of town by the fans for being an asshole.

On the other hand, I don't think he's had a project like this before. The Lightning and Blue Jackets were very young (but talented) teams when he took over. The Rangers were a pretty good team that was just in a rut. Philly is a bad team with a slew of bad contracts.

Being reported that Trots turned down the Flyers at 7 million a year. I wonder if Cassidy was approached by the Flyers and turned them down as well?

I can't see Trots lasting two years in Philly but it won't be boring.

Heh.
All my Flyer peeps are being very quiet today. Hmm.

There was a tweet below the one you shared where Doc Emrick was being very critical of ESPN for their NHL coverage.

I haven't paid too close attention to it, but yeah. Messier is terrible. I'm not impressed with Chelios either

ESPN should go with younger former players not the dinosaurs.
Chelios(IMO) is as overrated an analyst as he was a player.
But he is a member of the Malibu mob which includes-Ed O'neill/ John Cusack/Tony Danza/John McGinley/ Justin Long/Kelsey Grammar and Kid Rock.
I would guess that Justin Long is along to fetch drinks and throw wood on the fire. I can't imagine what Frasier would bring to the group.

That is one hell of an odd mob, Frac 🤣
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...
