The Flyers announced this morning that they signed Peter Laviolette to a multi-year extension:
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they agreed to terms with head coach Peter Laviolette on a multi-year contract extension, according to General Manager Paul Holmgren.
"We are thrilled to have Peter continue his work with our group as we push to compete for the Stanley Cup,” Holmgren said. “Peter has done a terrific job for us and is very deserving of this extension."
On length (I bet it's pretty massive): Flyers Inside Reporter Anthony SanFilippo says it's for two years, plus the one-year remaining. So, three.
No one thought Lavs was going anywhere and this just pretty much cements that. The good news is that, for once, Flyers coaching news doesn’t involve Ed Snider throwing someone out of his private jet. Figurative, of course.
Lavs couldn't be reached for comment, but we're told this was his reaction:
To celebrate, please watch the The Complete Peter Laviolette, after the jump.

God I needed some good news after this past sports week.
Now can we just get a new CBA so the season starts on time. I can’t hinge all my sports hopes on the Eagles, its not good for my stress levels.
“COME ON, LETS GO, GET SOME JAM UP IN HERE”
Hopefully he’s spending the summer learning how to beat a 1-3-1.
