the Philadelphia Flaces It was announced on Thursday that the team will move from coach John torturella after nearly three years with the organization.
The decision to expel the coach, who won the Stanley Cup with Tamba Bay Lighting in 2004, came after he made a questionable note about his “interest” in training this “type of season”.
The pilots made a statement announcing their decision with only nine games in Normal season. The assistant coach Brad Show is a temporary coach.

“Today I made the very difficult decision to move from John as our main coach,” General Manager Daniel Brierr said. “John played a vital role in rebuilding our construction. He has set a standard in playing and re -established what he means to be the Philadelphia bulletin.
“John's passion for the bench was nothing but his charitable work in our society. While we move to the next chapter of this reconstruction, I felt that this is the best for our team to move forward. I would like to thank John for his hard work and his commitment to birds.”
Tortorlla, who has long established himself as a meaningless leader, went 97-107-33 with the pilots. He was dismissed with one year remaining in his contract. The decision to separate from the roads came during a brutal segment of the pamphlets, who lost 11 out of 12 games and won only six times in the last 25 games.

After losing Tuesday 7-2 To Toronto, Tortorlla seemed to blame, but he made a strange statement regarding his training interest.
“When you are in this type of position, you lose all the time, and there is nothing at the end of the tunnel for you, it is certain that there will be some frustration. But this falls on me. I am not really interested in learning how to train in this type of season, where we are at the present time,” Yahoo Sports.
“But I have to do better. So, this falls on me, and the team's willingness to play in the right way until we reach the end.”

“It is one of the things that occurred along the way. This is not the specified reason, and there is no specific reason,” said Brier.
