“Behind Closed Doors: The Shocking Fallout as Flyers Dismiss Tortorella Amid Controversial Clash with Young Star”

Tortorella went 97-107-33 in three seasons with the Flyers. Associate coach Brad Shaw will take over as the team’s interim head coach moving forward.

Tortorella’s firing comes after the Flyers fell 7-2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. It was Philadelphia’s sixth straight loss.

Following the contest, Tortorella drew criticism by implying he had no interest in coaching the team.

“When you’re in this type of situation and you’re losing all the time, and there’s nothing at the end of the tunnel for you, there’s certainly going to be some frustration. But, this falls on me. I’m not really interested in learning how to coach in this type of season, where we’re at right now. But I have to do a better job. So this falls on me, getting the team prepared to play the proper way until we get to the end.”
