TO SAY Flyers general manager Ron Hextall has high praise for new goaltending coach Kim Dillabaugh would be making an understatement.
Dillabaugh, whom the Flyers officially hired Friday, is a Hextall guy, having spent nearly six years working in Los Angeles as the Kings' goaltending development coach when Hextall was the assistant GM. Dillabaugh oversaw and contributed to the development of such goalies as Jonathan Quick, Jonathan Bernier and Martin Jones.
He'll fill the void created when Jeff Reese suddenly left the Flyers in early March. Reese last month was hired to the same position in Dallas.
