Flyers Assistant Coach Has Some Interesting Words to Say About Joel Farabee

With John Tortorella scratching himself recently from coaching duties, you get new perspectives on the ice, as Rocky Thompson got a chance to run a few of the Philadelphia Flyers games recently.

He had some choice words about one of the younger players, who no doubt benefitted from playing with someone like Claude Giroux.





Farabee has come off of surgery and has had to come back while learning a new style of playing different from what Mike Yeo and Alain Vigneault had implemented once Tortorella was brought in.

Both Farabee and the Flyers organization had thought highly of one another, as Farabee expressed how much he wanted to stay in Philly, however, the tensions between Tortorella and Joel Farabee's agent and the benching are cause for concern.

Is Rocky Thompson helping to usher in a change of scenery for Farabee? What is the end game for a promising young forward who unfortunately had a down season trying to recapture his game?
