PHILADELPHIA, Pa — Their club’s sad performance in the Stanley Cup playoffs is now behind them and Flyers’ general manager Bud Poile and coach Keith I Allen look forI ward to bigger and better things next season. For one thing, it appears there will be quite a few changes in personnel. “We have some very tough decisions to make, but at least a couple of players helped us out during the playoffs,” said Poile.
