I'm surprised that both Torts and this thread are not long gone by now. Like a lot of others, I do not hate Torts, I just think he is the wrong coach for our current roster. It was a mistake to hire him in the first place and the sooner that mistake is rectified, the better. As I have already stated much earlier in this thread, the core of this roster is not going anywhere anytime soon. Like it or not, the previous management group tied this current core to the organization with NTC's for many years to come. A lot of us agree that Tort's does not have the right roster to play his style of hockey, it's a misfit. Fortunately, he does not have a NTC. The only solution to this problem is to let him go and hire a coach that is a better fit.
