Craig Berube Fired By Flyers
In a very predictable move, the Philadelphia Flyers relieved head coach Craig Berube of his duties on Friday morning. This came a couple of days after general manager Ron Hextall's press conference that almost seemed like a guarantee of moves to come. Berube finishes his Flyers coaching career with a record of 75-58-28 in 161 regular season games. The Flyers were knocked out of the first round of the playoffs last year and missed the postseason this year.
It seems like a curious firing to me, if only because the Flyers' record didn't seem that poor with Berube. Missing the playoffs is always a precarious thing for a coach to do, but it would have taken a miracle worker to get to the postseason with that blue line decimated by trades, injuries, and ineffectiveness. Berube wasn't the one who traded away Braydon Coburn and acquired Andrew MacDonald, but I digress.
