The Philadelphia Flyers have been close to the bottom of the National Hockey League for a few years now. This off-season, they brought in a new head coach in John Tortorella to try and shift the culture in the dressing room, but is he the right answer?
According to former NHLer Cam Jansen on his podcast, the Flyers locker room has been a gong show for a few years now and Tortorella is right to have concerns
well maybe he does. They've been sucky for a long time. Do you think he's throwing it around for s**** and giggles? No there's something going on there
Say what you will about Torts, but at least he'll hold his players accountable. He may not be the most well liked coach in the NHL, for the Flyers, this season has to be about accountability.
Whether Philadelphia improves this season remains to be seen, one thing is clear though, they won't have an easy time if they don't show up to work and play as hard as they can every single day.
