Can Shaw’s Limited Sample Size Reveal if He’s the Flyers’ Next Winning Coach?
Under former head coach John Tortorella, Shaw was in charge of the back end and penalty kill. A number of the Flyers’ defensemen have grown through Shaw’s time here, while the team’s penalty kill was a top-five unit in 2023-24 and scored a league-leading 16 shorthanded goals.
“He has meant so much to my game personally,” Travis Sanheim said a little over two weeks ago. “I think a lot of guys on the D core could probably say the same thing. We don’t know what’s going to happen, time will tell. In saying that, I’m just super thankful for where he has taken my game and I really enjoyed my time working with him, so it would obviously be a disappointment if I didn’t get to continue that.
