Best of luck to Q. Flyers deserve this

Holy crap Eklund actually called something correct for once.

 

[Machinehead]

Philly could be dangerous now

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Nice. I'm glad coach Q is out East.

 

[crazyfisherman]

About time... Shouldve been gone after the flames game

 

[M2Beezy]

Flyers owe the Canucks a very nice Christmas card

 

[Foppberg]

Whaaa? That'd be huge.

 

[Terry Yake]

flyers made the obvious move here

surprised it took this long for a team to hire Q

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Ok now post Dregers tweet

I thought the GM change was a bad move but getting one of the best coaches in the NHL makes up for it. Quite a few teams could have improved by replacing their current guy with Quenneville, even some were there was nothing really wrong at the moment.

Should've been gone about 2 years ago.

Seems like Kimmo Timonen was right. In tonight's Finnish NHL studio he said that Q will go to Philly, during this season or after it.

Good hire

 

[Mobiandi]

That is a hell of an upgrade

 

[Foppberg]

Ok now post Dregers tweet

Yeah but it's Dreger..

 

[BlueDream]

Happy for Flyers fans. You deserved a new coach a long time ago.

No communication with Joel Quenneville, yet. Anything is possible.

If confirmed nice move for Philly.

They have the pieces to succeed if they can tweek their lineup properly...

 

[JaegerDice]

God help those poor, young mobile defensemen....

God help those poor, young mobile defensemen....

But 3 cups!

 

[Jumptheshark]

Looks like the NHL is making up for sacking no coaches last year

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

But 3 cups!

Are you saying he’s not a good coach?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If they hire him

Great for them and Q

Will bring that franchise back to life once they get a quality stopgap goalie (Crawford would look good in Philly)

 

[Cody Webster]

Christmas has come early!!

Funny thing is, the Flyers haven't even landed home from Vancouver yet
