Flyers fire John Tortorella

The Philadelphia Flyers have fired John Tortorella as head coach.

After Tuesday night’s decisive loss against Toronto, Tortorella said:

“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.”

Associate coach Brad Shaw will take over as interim head coach.
