Could Hitchcock Be Canned?

For whom the Liberty Bell tolls

It appears that Hitchcock could be the first coaching casualty of the season. Rumour has it, Hitchcock was given two games to straighten out the Flyers after their 9-1 non-triumph against the Sabres. Game one didn’t go too well for Hitchcock, another one goal performance last night in Tampa Bay. Tonight Philadelphia takes to the ice against Phlorida. If things don’t go well, it could be a long weekend for Hitchcock.

Flyers center Forsberg jams wrist but X-rays negative

Philadelphia center Peter Forsberg sprained his left wrist in the first period of the Flyers’ 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday night.
X-rays were negative, but Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock said Forsberg will miss the team’s game Friday night at Florida.
“We don’t think it’s broken, but we’ll have a better update in the next 24 hours,” Hitchcock said. “We’ll see next week how bad it’s hurting him.”
