Former Flyers coach John Stevens says that he respects the team's decision to fire him. The Flyers had lost six of their last seven games when Philadelphia general manager Paul Holmgren decided it was time to let Stevens go. "Your emotions are disappointment, it's more about letting people down," Stevens said during a conference call. "You go through a process like this, the team not meeting expectations, you feel responsible. I feel extremely lucky to be part of this organization for so many years [drafted by the Flyers in 1984], to have worked for an organization totally committed to winning."
