“Well, the important thing for me was that when you make the decision to play younger players, to build the fabric for years to come, you want to be around when they mature, and they are getting that way now,” said Hitchcock. “We made the decision last year to put them in line up and play them and I want to be the guy that coaches them.”

I'm upset Ken H. got fired...I can't stand that jerk and it would have been nice to thrash his team a few more times.

[RockStar36]

I agree. I'm trying to think right now whether or not I will reall hate the Flyers now that Clarke is out as well. He was def. the source of my hatred towards the Flyers.

Clarke resigned, also, according to ESPN.

Too bad. It was fun humilating Filthadelphia.
