On Thursday, the Philadelphia Flyers made a big move in hiring John Tortorella as their new head coach. It's an exciting time for the franchise, as the front office hopes the new coaching staff can push the team back into the playoff race next year. However, it appears not everyone is a fan of the hire, as former Columbus Blue Jackets star Brandon Dubinsky weighs in.

Dubinsky took to social media and sent a tweet throwing major shade at the Flyers' new head coach. Of course, the feud between Brandon Dubinsky and John Tortorella built up during their tenure together in Columbus. Apparently, the former Blue Jackets star hasn't had a change of heart since retiring after the 2018-19 season.
