Cold Hard Truth

Torts is gone, its the return of the Kumbaya Canucks maybe we can get Garrisons buddy Mason Raymond back in Van.

thanks to your boy Duncan Keith and our former GM, Daniel Sedin is a 7million a year black hole ensuring mediocrity for the next 4 years.

Are these people idiots ? How do you fire Torts before you get Edler to waive ?

exactly.

Old news = tony gallagher ? u hate Torts like the crypt keeper.

stop trolling the board and take a hike if you dont like it. the rest of us will be #KeepingTorts

Cant believe how soft Garrison play for a guy of his build. Sami Salo and Mason Raymond played more physical than this guy.

40% of the fan base thinks Daniel Sedin will take us to the promised land through 6 weeks of playoff brutality and producing against teams like Boston,San Jose Chicago, St Louis and LA, i laugh, These are also many of the Torts haters. Cant keep firing coaches every year just ridiculous to pin this on Torts, with this lineup its amazing that we werent out of the playoff run by xmas.

Pales in comparison to the franchise killing anchor that is the 28 million cap killer for Daniel over the next 4 years. At least Torts fights

u think were getting Raffi back ? S.Weber ? what exactly is that strain you're puffin ? i want some.

Torts still here haters gonna hate. We cant keep firing a coach every year while the core remains the same.

“We love playing for these coaches, that's the bottom line" (Henrik Sedin)

Couldnt agree with you more. Kesler also said the same.. fact is nobody really knows exactly what is going in that dressing room and if the players that you want to move forward with in the exit interviews tell Linden they like the coach then Torts will probably make it to the stage of "Let the New GM" decide. If Hextall or Benning are named GM they might just keep Tortorella as a guinea pig they can fire after 6 months -one year while they get brought up to speed, if they fire Torts and start off with new coach and it goes bad right away the new GM will have used up some goodwill right off the top. Keeping Torts buys some time. Maybe thats all wishful thinking. The owner threw him under the bus at the Linden presser so he's probably a dead man walking. Benning might be the guy but something about a Hextall - Tortorella combo sounds like crazy chemistry

next year i wanna see our first line E.Kane - R.Kesler - Z.Kassian

i would pretty much

They should ban Gallagher from Rogers , he is the absolute worst.

thats not my point actually Fault ? 1) the players 2) the gm who put too much faith in them(Gillis) 3) the players 4) the players 5) NHL Head office/refs 6) the players 7) the schedule 8) the olympics 9) Vancouver hockey media 10) coaching staff Torts, far from perfect but who is ? guy made some bad errors but also did some good. almost single handedly changing the identity culture infusing grit, intensity and accountability into his players. we went from Sedins getting speedbagged by midgets unanswered to a coach storming the dressing room. to me thats an improvement. Torts style if he has the ponies is up tempo aggressive forechecking D-man pinching hockey, he admitted that he changed it up when they got injury bug, he admitted he made the mistake of not pushing them backinto that system, the fact that Torts can identify and admit his mistakes is very refreshing along with his brutal honesty and intensity. Kassian,Tanev,Higgins,Stanton,Bieksa,Richardson,Tito,Booth,Hamhuis,Kesler etc.. played well under Torts, Sedins, Edler, Garrison and Hansen didnt'. no coincidence they are also the softest players on our team.they didnt play well under AV at the end either. ask yourself what kind of players you want in playoff brutality. started off gangbusters, ran the most intense camp any of the country club members had ever been to team looked decent until xmas, Torts style working fine until the lack of depth exposed the club for how thin it got under Gillis, schedule , injuries, Olympic testing clean "diets" and saving selves for their national teams all combined with Torts suspension to the downfall, to me this team has been looking mad suspect for the last 2.5 years. Everyone can pretty much agree that this team needs some massive changes to some of its Veteran core, i think you give Tortorella another season with 3-5 new players. Barry Trotz ? no thanks.

Marting Hanzals crosschecking festival injuring 2 of our best players and ruining them for the year was Torts fault according to a couple of the Torts hating clowns spamming CDC

completely agree. Bang on, unfortunately Vancouver has a horrible reputation of hanging guys out to dry that fight for them Bertuzzi,Rypien,Bitz, Torts etc.. No surprise with that roster. Not Torts fault. Same lineup that got AV fired. Time to move on from your heroes and get ready to put some new posters on the wall. 1. Canucks missed the playoffs. No surprise with that roster. 2. Lowest goals for in the entire Western Conference. No surprise with that roster. 3. 26th best powerplay in the league. No surprise with that roster. 4. The Calgary dressing room incident. thats team building unless your european, the suspension was too much 5. Yelling at players on the bench in a demeaning manner. he only did it a few times in a pressure cooking nightmare season, 6. Marginalizing players. No surprise with that roster. 7. Boring hockey. No surprise with that roster. 8. Massive number of injuries. all Torts fault ? riiiiight 9. Terrible seasons by Daniel, Burrows, Hansen, Edler all at the same time. same as last year, that crew got AV fired before you started cheering for the team 10. Not starting Luongo in the Heritage Classic. Luongo the cancer that told the world he stuck playing here. good riddance. thanks Torts, worst contract 11. Playing Lack 17 games in a row and refusing to start Markstrom. every game was season ending crucial and Markstrom looked shaky, Gillis fault. 12. He has been at odds with the GM and owners, neither of whom publically supported him. Gillis is greasy and the owners are slumlords. who cares.

Benning Hextall Nicholson (in that order)

guy is a waste of time, check the sig, blames Torts on his heroes failures when even the heroes are admitting now they sucked and they need massive offseasons to prove everyone wrong next year.

i agree. If they keep this same roster they are mcDavid bound. Tanev and Santo were fatal injuries.

Doesnt matter who the coach is if the Sedins throw down another no show next year. Just keep the same roster and McDavid/Eichel will be ours.

nothing u say will damper the hatred that guy has for Tortorella, its almost like Torts took a couple rounds out of his old lady.

Benning would be great, but the thought of Hextall and Torts ? now that would be something.
