The Philadelphia Flyers kicked off the week with a big move, relieving now former General Manager Ron Hextall of his duties with the team.
Hextall was unwilling to change his plan, and his stubbornness is what ultimately led to his downfall as GM.
The Flyers still had a game to play during all of the organizational chaos and Claude Giroux was a player to watch in the matchup against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
Team President Paul Holmgren and Comcast CEO Dave Scott held a press conference to further explain the reasoning behind Hextall’s firing.
