While perusing the news about newly fired former Flyers’ head coach Alain Vigneault (oh sorry my bad, Big Al), an interesting 2018 article from Blueshirt Banter popped into view.
Does that article title look familiar? It should, given what us Flyers fans have experienced over the last 2.5 seasons. The similarities between what Flyers fans experienced with Alain Vigneault and what Rangers fans experienced are (un)surprisingly one in the same. We can remember Rangers fans repeatedly warning us about the perils of “Big Al”, and while we didn’t take them as seriously back then, in the end their theories proved correct.
