Kinda bummed out he's calling it a career. Happy for him though and wish him the best in his coaching role!

This goes into the "Who saw that coming" thread. I wonder what prompted him to do this?

This was the only way he could stay in the Flyers org.

Yup. It was either hit the pike or be coach. I'd take the coaching gig over the unemployment line too.

I guess I will finally have to leave that "Riley Cote's suspension is bs" group on facebook now... I liked that guy. He was cooler on FB than Lilja was. Sad I deleted all my NHL friends a long time ago :\
