Flyers Fan Calls for Rick Tocchet's Firing in Photo of Billboard Amid Matvei Michkov Trade Rumors

Philadelphia Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet is under fire, as a new billboard calling for his firing debuted on Friday.

X user Tony Escargot posted a photo of the billboard, which appeals to Flyers general manager Daniel Brière and reads, "Danny. Fire Tocchet now."

According to Matt Schultz of CrossingBroad.com, the billboard debuted one day after a crowd-funded billboard that read, "Fire Tocchet. Save Michkov," went up in South Philadelphia.

Tocchet has drawn the ire of Flyers fans in the wake of a report by ESPN's Kevin Weekes this week in which he noted that Michkov "would likely want a new start elsewhere."
