On Monday, we talked a bit in general terms about Ron Hextall’s first year as GM of the Flyers, and what we think the scale is on which he should be evaluated for his work this past year. In short, I said in that piece that I’m less concerned about what Hextall’s moves to date…
Ron Hextall was asked a multitude of questions about his head coach, Craig Berube, on Wednesday at the Flyers‘ year-end press conference. Hextall said that Berube still has his job, but didn’t exactly give Chief a vote of confidence, which will no doubt lead to more speculation about the future of the coaching position with…

The Flyers might fire Craig Berube at today’s press conference … although there’s reason to believe they may not. Whatever happens, watch Ron Hextall address the media from Flyers Skate Zone live…
The Philadelphia Flyers have fired Craig Berube. No replacement has been named yet, which makes sense because there are a lot of coaches who might become available this summer who are still employed by other teams. There’s no word on the fate of assistant coaches Gord Murphy, Joe Mullen or Ian Laperriere. It’s unclear what’s…

Excusing the huge caveat that, technically speaking, neither of these guys are available, TSN’s Darren Dreger reports that Detroit Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock and San Jose Sharks head coach Todd McLellan are men the Philadelphia Flyers covet for their newly-vacant bench boss position. As of late last week, I was told McLellan and…
The Flyers have fired head coach Craig Berube. And now we’re on to the next question: who replaces him? It will probably be a bit before we know. After all, we’re just a game into the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and we don’t know who else is going to lose their job. Ron Hextall doesn’t…
The NHL Draft Lottery came and went on Saturday night, and despite some initial suspense after the seven teams below Philadelphia in the draft order all stayed in their current positions, the 93.5 percent chance the Flyers had of not picking first overall in June’s draft came to fruition as Bill Daly showed the Flyers’…
When did you make the decision and when did you inform Craig? I made the decision last night and I met with Craig this morning and informed him of the decision. What changed in the last couple of days? Well, nothing changed. It’s just a process that I went through. I wanted to make the…
