The Flyers got too complacent under Stevens and developed a cavalier attitude. They took advantage of him, didn't play with enough passion and helped him become unemployed. Shame on them. No one worked harder than Stevens. No one studied more film. No one cared more about this franchise. Again, shame on the players for taking those qualities for granted."

From Sam Carchidi's article on Philly.com

I'm not usually a big fan of Carchidi's, but I thought I had to give him credit for saying what most people avoided.

have to say i find that a pretty accurate reflection of how i feel about it. however, i don’t leave this all on their doorstep. his coaching style allowed it to get to that point and i think there could have been steps to stop it from steamrolling to the point it did. i don’t particularly think things would have turned around with stevens in the coaching position any more. i believe he will be an able coach with another franchise.
