Except it is not 3 games..
its last season + 3 games.
The Flyers D is serviceable, their goal tending this season is not an issue.
The problem is the system they try and force on the players they have and the lack of in game adjustments.

Lavi has a definite shelf life as he took 2 teams to the finals but is not a long term Barry Trotz type coach.

it's even more: it's a game 82 shootout to get in the playoffs in 2010, terrible SCP performance inn 2011, last year's atrocity and now this.

at least Ruff made a finals appearance and went to B2B conference finals at one point. Trotz has won what, 2 playoff rounds in 15 years?

Very true. Not really sure how he keeps his job there.

Your right, this decision was based on last year as well.

Your wrong, The flyers D is brutal and old, their goaltending is a huge issue.

Holmgren needs to go now.

Why don't the Flyers just trade Emery, Couturier to the Leafs for Gardiner, Bozak & Reimer. Flyers would win the cup!

Leafs can use Kadri & Bolland as the top 2 centers till Coots is ready for top 6 duty.

With Lindy, he was so predictable we didn't even need press conferences anymore. We knew who would start in goal. And if someone scored, they got top lines minutes for the rest of the game and start of the next game until that hot hand was gone.

That's brutal

I always thought Lavi was a good coach. I'm sure he'll find another gig.

EDIT: I feel for the guy. Holmgren is out of his mind and Lavi took the fall for his lunacy.

I don't know how a guy can be expected to coach when he has a GM that can't leave the roster alone for five minutes.

Every player that comes on the market Holmgren tries to get. The only thing that hinders him are the craptastic contracts he saddled himself with the last time around, and so on and so on and so on.......

While I am not surprised as the team has struggled for over a year in his scheme, i am not sure who the right guy to come in is with the type of players they have...

i am surprised that they fired him 3 games in. i thought that maybe 20 games in but 3?? is 3 really enough time to assess how the team hears him? i am not a flyers fan but geeze. thats kind of quick especially since there has been some turn over at a few positions.

Haha ..I love it...Flyers absolutely suck....still no goaltending, no defence , no scoring. Giroux is an overrated bum. Hartnell and Simmonds blow. Schenns are garbage.

true. i always wondered why they just cant let the guy coach with the players he is given. too many moving parts year over year. great players but is there enough time to gel? shortened season,changes in goal....

Berube has been named head coach. No interim tag.
