Barber is Relieved of His Command

After being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs and scoring just 2 goals in the series, something had to be done. Although it was a hard decesion, general manager Bobby Clarke, chose to fire head coach Bill Barber.

One year Barber is Coach of the Year and the next he is fired. In addition, assistant coaches Mike Stothers and E.J. McGuire were also fired.

Bob Clarke noted,"We all felt in September that this team should be a much better team than it ended up being. It should have been able to accomplish a lot more. There will be some changes in our lineup, but I can’t tell today who or what they will be."

The Flyers staff has not yet announced who will replace Barber, Mike Stothers, and E.J. McGuire. The process will take time and hopefully will be for the best.
