Flyers owner: 'our training camp was one of the worst I've ever seen'

Philadelphia Flyers owner chatted with CSN Philadelphia about the firing of Peter Laviolette on Monday afternoon. While reiterating that the decision to fire Laviolette was General Manager Paul Holmgren's - and not his - Snider admitted that he thought Flyers "training camp, quite frankly, was one of the worst training camps I had ever seen."

“It wasn’t three games, it was training camp and a little left over from last year,” the Flyers owner continued, “It’s not three losses. It’s the way they played in three losses. They looked lost.”
 
Snider admitted that the coaching change was enacted in part because the team can't fire the player. “This is why coaches lose their jobs and sometimes lose it because of the players," said Snider, "But we don’t know (if it's the players fault) until we make a change."
 
"We think our players are better than they’ve looked.”
