Flyers Fans Hate Rick Tocchet So Much That They Are Now Donating Thousands Of Dollars To Childrens Hospital In Protest Of His Employment

He is capable of taking his teams to the playoffs just one time wherever he goes, and then he ends up getting fired the next season. Why is that? Because Rick Tocchet doesn't develop talent. Rick Tocchet doesn't have a sense for building a culture or identity. He's a toxic peace of shit who creates so much chaos and division within the locker room. It works for a year, and then everybody grows tired of his shtick.
People "in hockey" seem to love Rick Tocchet because as a player, he was great. He played the game "the right way". He was tough, he produced, he was the type of guy who was going to give you everything he has out there on the ice. But as a coach, he is a power hungry cock sucker. He can't stand skill guys (ie Matvei Michkov and Elias Pettersson), and then makes it his personal mission to completely alienate and make life miserable for that player. It doesn't matter that Matvei Michkov did everything right this past offseason to get himself in shape, up his foot speed, and has been making a strong push to round out his defensive game. Rick Tocchet hates Matvei Michkov, and there's nothing that the leading goal scorer on the team can do to get on his right side. Unless he changes his nationality to Canadian, Rick Tocchet is going to keep burying Michkov when it comes to ice time.
Flyers fans are fed up. Flyers fans are sick as shit of Rick Tocchet and his toxicity. Flyers fans are fed up with bozos like Whit and Biz being his mouthpiece in the media. So Flyers fans are finally taking matters into their own hands by telling the organization exactly how they feel about him, and that's through our good pal Tony Escargot setting up a "Fire Tocchet" flyover before the Black Friday game.
$2000 for a silly little sign seems crazy, right? I mean there's no way that Flyers fans would spend their good, hard-earned money on something like that.
Oh wait. Yes they absolutely would. And they raised that $2K almost immediately.
The $2K goal was met in under an hour, so that just goes to show you how much the frustration is boiling over in FlyerLand over this fucking loser of a head coach. Clearly this city wants him out of town as soon as possible. So why not shove it in the Flyers' faces a little harder with a billboard right on I95?

$4000 to get Rick Tocchet fired and never allowed in the city of Philadelphia ever again? Not a problem whatsoever for Flyers fans. That goal was met just as quickly.
That's already way too much money being spent on that jackass, Rick Tocchet. He's not worth anything more than that. But the desire to get him out of town is so high that the money just keeps rolling in. So here comes Tony Escargot doing the honorable thing and keeping the GoFundMe up as a way to give back to charity. The excess money is now all going towards Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation. Helping sick children, and also making sure to support one of Mr. Snider's greatest impacts outside of the Flyers themselves.
As of right now, the total is at $5,743 in total donations. Which means $4K to show how much this city needs Rick Tocchet to get fired, and an extra $1,743 to charity.

The only way for the Flyers to save themselves from the embarrassment at this point is if they fire Rick Tocchet before the Black Friday game. And if Danny Briere and Keith Jones had any pulse, they would fire Rick Tocchet immediately. Because it's only a matter of time before his dumbassery ends up chasing Matvei Michkov out of town. We're already at the stage of passive aggressive Instagram likes.
If the Flyers lose Matvei Michkov because of Rick Tocchet, then that's the final straw. That team is dead forever.
