Last season, the Flyers had a very messy split with John Tortorella despite narrowly missing the playoffs the year prior, a coach with proven success at the NHL level.

With all that said, what proves that Tocchet is not only a good coach but the one to lead the Flyers' locker room? Is he going to bring about the much-needed change in the Flyers that Philadelphia media seems to think he can?
