Shortly after being notified that he had been relinquished of his duties as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, John Stevens let loose with a tirade that would make the likes of Bobby Knight and Lou Piniella blush. ”This is fucking horse shit, complete fucking horse shit,” said Stevens moments after learning of his firing. “What do they want me from me? Last year we made it to the second round of the playoffs where we lost to the goddamn Penguins and the year before that I guided the team to the eastern conference finals where we lost to the motherfucking Penguins again. If it wasn’t for Pittsburgh who knows how fucking far we would have gone, but noooooo thats not good enough I guess. Fucking dog shit.”
The Flyers have struggled mightily the last couple of weeks having won just once in their last seven games and have compiled a record that currently sees them on the wrong side of the playoff picture. These struggles accompanied by an apparent rift between coach and players seem to be what ultimately cost Stevens in the end, as it was clear that he had lost his players. “How is it my fucking fault that Carter hasn’t been scoring this year?” said Stevens referring to center Jeff Carter who was second in the league last year with 46 goals but only has 9 so far this season. We only have two fucking guys with double digits in goals for fuck sakes! Sure, we’re struggling right now but atleast we are still above .500, give me some fucking time and we would have turned it around, I guran-fucking-tee you. We started out great but then that piece of glass Gagne got hurt like usual and then that faggot Briere got hurt, and we have never really gotten on track, but I know we just needed a couple wins and we would have turned it right the fuck around. We still have more then half the fucking season to play for crying out fucking loud!! Cock!, cunt!, pussy!, shit!, fuck!, ballsack!. I’m fucking outta here, see ya later and fuck off.”
