Flyers’ Coach Alain Vigneault is Ready For Another Run At The Cup

Earlier this afternoon, Flyers’ coach Alain Vigneault joined The Anthony Gargano Mid-Day Show on 97.5 The Fanatic to discuss the upcoming season. In Philadelphia, we love transparency from our head coaches. Transparency is why coaches like the Sixers’ Doc Rivers and Flyers’ Alain Vigneault gain respect in this city. Those coaches are elite in their respective sport because they hold the franchise accountable outright. When something needs to be fixed, they don’t insult the ones who pay the price of admission. They know if we can see it, they can see it.
