Flyers Fry Clarkie, Hitch

According to ESPN, Flyers' GM Bobby Clarke resigned and coach Ken Hitchcock was fired earlier today. The Flyers are 1-6-1 and Team President Ed Snider was furious at the slow start, waiving three players after Philadelphia's 9-1 loss to Buffalo.

Ouch. I always thought Snider had Clarke's back, but this time he didn't. And with Comcast shopping for buyers for the Sixers, the Flyers will become Snider's super-duper priority once again. I take pity on whomever lands the new GM job.
