No Patience In Philly

from Jim Kelley of Sportsnet,
Still, there is a history in Philadelphia that seems to exempt players from expectations, (real or imposed,) via media perception and one can’t help but wonder if it doesn’t come from ownership. Principal owner Ed Snider is the only boss anyone in the organization has ever had and he’s not without a passion for his team. He denied having any say in the dismissal of Stevens, but then he denied having a role in the then inexplicable firing of Hitchcock, a panic firing if there ever was one.
What’s undeniable is that a firing in Philadelphia is not uncommon, but almost expected whenever there are high expectations and somewhat lower results.
Odd when you considered this edition of the Flyers team was vastly overrated by media but not necessarily management types.
