Chuck Fletcher

The course of a season in any sport is a day-by-day affair. In the Flyers case, it’s become an ongoing soap opera that shows no signs of stopping.

The guys discuss the week’s action on the ice and the comments made by both Chuck Fletcher and John Tortorella, including his first sub-60-second postgame press conference of his Flyers tenure. They also look at the near future for the team, the hesitance behind a rebuild, and how fans are much more informed and engaged in a variety of areas that they weren’t a few years ago.

John Tortorella is focused on building the Flyers from the footers, knowing that this is more than a one-year process to get it right. GM Chuck Fletcher seemed to have a different message, showing a disconnect between coaching and management.

The guys are back and the Flyers have achieved yet another 10-game losing streak, the third in the last calendar year. So what happens now? Is Chuck Fletcher on the way out? If he is, who takes over or decides on the next GM?

One day prior to the four-year anniversary of Ron Hextall’s firing as Flyers GM, chants of “Fire Fletcher” could be heard at Wells Fargo Center. Chuck Fletcher’s time should be running out, but it’s not the only change that needs to be made.

Flyers 2022 first-round pick Cutter Gauthier made the transition back to center and has shot out of a cannon ever since.

An underwhelming offseason, a new coach, and a management group on the hot seat bring about plenty of questions. Before the puck drops on the new season, let’s dive into five questions facing the Flyers this season.

Before the puck even hits the ice, the Flyers are already dealing with more than their share of injury woes.

At the end-of-season press conference, and for much of the offseason, the Flyers focus was on injured players returning healthy. The so-called plan has already backfired before the team even takes the ice for training camp.
