When John Tortorella was announced as the Flyers coach, it was just a matter of time before people asked just how long he’d be able to not wear out his welcome. Well we’re over halfway through his four-year contract now and judging by the general improvement in the team compared to Alain Vigneault’s decline it’s probably a better than 50/50 bet he’ll still be behind the bench when training camp for 2025-26 begins. At least we think that’s the plan.
Had the Flyers started the season unbeaten or perhaps squeezed wins in Edmonton and Seattle then the topic is still well on the backburner.
