nuck nit Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Guess what? I don't care what you think or say about me when you attack me. Torts is not the type of leader that commands respect. He intimidates with terror tactics and bullying and his demeanour is repulsive. This guy is a gong show and any franchise that signs him up damages their organisation.

nuck nit Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Every sports announcer on TSN that has commented on a possible Vancouver hire of Torts said they would not hire him. Torts could get away with his crap in NY as the Rangers don't register on the sports hierarchy but in a market where hockey can be 'front page news' a Torts hire would a disaster waiting to unfold.

DarthNinja Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 1min 20 secs in "go through maybe a process" NO WONDER he got hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 At least he will have the guts to plant Edler on the bench after his 3rd or 4th blunder on any given night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerines Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 At first I was skeptical, but now I feel like I'm warming up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 It is not his coaching skills that are his undoing. The man is a freaking slime ball wrapped up in an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I am going to let the season fully play out before I judge anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Funny how all the guys that worked with him on the TSN panel(you know,players and GM's?) have stated they would not hire him. If the Aqua's hire him I will judge them according to their hire. Anybody can reach simple conclusions based on his public performances. I am entitled to say what I see and feel,just as you are. I have seen plenty of video evidence to see how the man performs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
î мцšт вяздк чфµ Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 i hope torts pans out well here. out of all the negative opinions people have mentioned about him in the past, the one that has had a lot of validity and is a bit worrisome is when doug maclean was on team1040 earlier in the week.

Robongo Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I'm not sure if they were joking but the 1040 said that Torts has allowed only 1 minute for Q&A. Hope it's not true because if so that's straight up bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 The best part of this whole situation for a new coach, the AV haters want Torts because he is a completely differen't coach, the AV lovers don't want Torts because he doesn't remind them of AV. The AV haters will enjoy the next 5 years, while the AV lovers will be frustrated with the team for the next 5 years, how the tides have turned.

Barry_Wilkins Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Many point to the HBO special as a prime example of his MO. Go back and listen to what he says. He doesn't call out or bully anyone. Yes he is vocal, but I have never heard a coach use the word "We" so many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 You realize, of course, that Tortorella knew the video camera was on him? Much different situation. Everyone behaves more like a modified choir boy when they know they're being observed. CDCers seem to think the players are 10 years old. That kinda stuff doesn't work on reasonably intelligent adults who have multi-year guaranteed contracts in the multi-millions, and who've been in their share of locker room sessions with many coaches in many different scenarios and with many different styles over the years.
