Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella knew his dismal one-year reign of error would spell his demise at the end of the 2013-14 season .

The Flyers are an insurmountable 11 points out of the final Eastern Conference wild-card spot with seven teams to hurdle.

Rick Tocchet is in the final year of his Canucks ’ deal — there’s a club option for next season .

Tortorella was tough in Vancouver by his own standards.

He had an aging roster with seven key players over 30 and motivation without playoffs was a problem.

“It’s harder for (the players), but as a coach this is my responsibility and on my watch with what's going on here,” he said.
