Was John Tortorella trying to get fired?
Anthony Di Marco of Day by day Faceoff: John Tortorella didn’t resign from the Philadelphia Flyers, he was fired. A source said that after the trade deadline, there have been a series of events that led to this .

Will the Latest York Rangers be trying to make a training change for next season?
Arthur Staple of The Athletic: Peter Laviolette’s playing system doesn’t appear to be working in Latest York. Their core roster players have shown several coaches that they aren’t into aggressive forechecking and clogging neutral zones. In the event that they’re going to return next season with mostly the identical top nine, it’d make sense to make a training change and go along with a distinct system.
Now, they’ve moved out six regulars this season, and so they’ve handled injuries, so every little thing can’t fall on Laviolette. Laviolette isn’t totally old skool, but finding someone who’s somewhat friendlier and pertains to them somewhat higher could also be so as.
Things are somewhat more stable with their roster, so perhaps GM Chris Drury makes a couple of offseason moves and offers Laviolette one other shot.
If who else they could consider, David Carle and Cam Abbott don’t make sense. Drury likes Mike Sullivan, but he’s still coaching the Pittsburgh Penguins. Would you wish to go down the Joel Quenneville road?
