Black Sunday: Overreaction Or Overdue?
“Black Sunday” has come and gone and even though the firing of now former head coach Ken Hitchcock wasn’t terribly surprising given the Flyers history with coaching changes, oh yeah, and that horrid 1-6-1 start to the season, I’d be lying if I didn’t say the sudden resignation of supposed general manager for life Bob Clarke didn’t absolutely floor me.
I struggled with the news initially, thinking about it through every painful moment of yet another Eagles heartbreak and I just couldn’t decide if changing both the general manager and the coach 8 games into the season are decisions that were overdue or simply a terrible over reaction.
