I understand that he said he would not comment further on his departure from the team, as did Hextall and Berube, but isn't it strange that hardly anyone attempted to track him down for further explanation? Or that we haven't heard about him joining another team? I seriously doubt he is sitting at home twiddling his thumbs.
This is a man with a long hockey history, both playing and coaching, and he certainly isn't old enough to retire. He is a very successful goalie coach and it seems that he wouldn't have a problem finding a new home in the NHL.
What kind of behind-the-scenes wrangling was going on in the days leading up to his departure? Do you think we will see him back in the orange and black if (when!) Berube gets canned?
If you credit the reports that he left over the way Mason was being treated, then good for him. I'd love to see Reese's return, because that kind of loyalty is the foundation of a strong relationship (Mase always praised Reese with helping to ease his mind), which is what our number one goalie needs to continue to excel in his position.
Think about this: the Flyers haven't talked about replacing Reese, either.
Do you think he and Mase will reunite?
