Can Shaw’s Limited Sample Size Reveal if He’s the Flyers’ Next Winning Coach?
Shaw has over 20 seasons of NHL experience as an assistant coach. He checks off the box of teacher and it doesn’t hurt that he knows what it’s like to coach in Philadelphia.
“It has only been three years, but I love my time here,” Shaw said last month. “It’s a unique city. I love the inherent pressure the fans put on you. I’ve never been booed more in three years in my life, but I think it’s good. I think it’s an extra indicator of what the fans think.”
Why Shaw would not be a fit
The obvious knock on Shaw’s candidacy is that he has never been a full-time head coach at the NHL level. His other interim role was with the Islanders for 40 games in 2005-06.
