JOHN TORTORELLA


AP source: Tortorella hired as coach by Philadelphia Flyers

Tortorella is the sixth Flyers coach in the last 10 years and he will triy to revitalize a dormant franchise that has just one playoff series victory since 2012. He said at the end of the season the Flyers were “a pretty soft team” and a coach like Tortorella could help toughen up any franchise. The Flyers last played in the Stanley Cup Final in 2010 and haven’t won a championship since consecutive Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975.
