Philadelphia is 24-30-11 this season under first-year coach John Tortorella and well out of the playoff race."The Philadelphia Flyers organization has always been defined by grit, determination, and a standard of excellence.

Over the past several seasons, our team simply has not lived up to that standard, so today, we will begin to chart a new path forward under a new leadership structure for Hockey Operations," Flyers chairman Dave Scott said.Brière, who helped the Flyers to their last Stanley Cup appearance in 2010 when they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks, is considered a rising star in the organization's front office and was promoted last year from his player development role to special assistant to the GM.The Flyers haven’t won the Stanley Cup since consecutive championships in 1974 and 1975, and have advanced to the second round only three times since that 2010 run."Flyers fans deserve a better team than what they’ve seen on the ice over the past few seasons, and a clear plan to return this.

Moderate alcohol consumption has no health benefits, analysis finds
may help prevent heart disease or even a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.The new analysis, published on March 31 in JAMA Network Open, reviewed more than 100 studies published as far back as 1980, involving nearly 5 million people in total. It found that there was a "significantly increased risk" of death among female drinkers who drank 25 or more grams of alcohol per day, which is about two 5-ounce glasses of wine, two 12-ounce beers, or two cocktails containing 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. The same significantly increased risk was found for males who drank 45 or more grams of alcohol per day, or slightly over three standard drinks.FILE - A woman pours wine into a glass at home.
