Philadelphia Flyers Fire John Tortorella as Head Coach

The decision comes after a March collapse, ongoing tensions, and the team's struggles in their rebuilding process.

John Tortorella was dismissed with nine games left in the season following a 1-10-1 record in March and a six-game losing streak.
The Flyers are last in the Metropolitan Division with a 28-36-9 record and are set to miss the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.
General Manager Daniel Briere cited a series of factors, including Tortorella's public frustration and differences of opinion, as reasons for the firing.
Brad Shaw, previously the associate coach, has been named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
Tortorella's tenure ends with a 97-107-33 record over three seasons, as the Flyers continue their search for a long-term replacement to guide their rebuild.
