The Flyers have lost nine of their last 10 games and are really out of the playoff race. It was logical to believe that Tortorella was going to leave the Flyers organization.

And now Elliotte Friedman has confirmed that Tortorella has left, just a few hours before the game against the habs. Matvei Michkov must be happy, when you think about it.

The Philadelphia Flyers are making a coaching change. Hearing that John Tortorella has stepped down.
