A Fresh Start for the Philadelphia Flyers with win vs Montreal Canadiens & Briere’s Thoughts on Torts

On today’s show, Russ and Rachel react to what GM Danny Briere has to say about the decision to fire former Head Coach John Tortorella. We talk timing, next steps, and assess if he’s right that the team is in its rock bottom phase of the rebuild. 

Then we break down the Philadelphia Flyers 6-4 win vs Montreal Canadiens. We address the Cam York benching, Matvei Michkov’s almost hat trick, the five forward power play, and more. Finally, we look at the Buffalo Sabres season thus far and compare it to the Flyers season and rebuild process. What can we learn about what to do and what not to do from how this team has been managed?
