Flyers general manager Danny Briere said it was “time” to fire John Tortorella with nine games remaining in this season.
Flyers general manager Danny Briere said it was time to remove John Tortorella as head coach, stating it wasn’t one particular incident or event but rather a series of things that happened over the last three weeks since the trade deadline.
“I felt it was time,” Briere — who said he and Keith Jones believed the team might take a step backwards in 2024-25 — said after reading a brief prepared statement Thursday thanking Tortorella for his time and effort.
