Yesterday afternoon the Philadelphia Flyers announced that they had relieved Dave Hakstol of his duties as head coach and that Scott Gordon has been named interim head coach. Gordon, who had been in the midst of his fourth season behind the Lehigh Valley bench, currently has the team sitting fourth in the Atlantic Division with a 15-9-2 record.
The former New York Islanders’ bench boss is back in the NHL for the first time since he was an assistant coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2013-14 season, and we have some thoughts about it.
