As much as I love Torts, don't know that he was the answer. Thing is, it may be too early to tell but waiting longer might mean we have a roster of 7 able bodied players. The shot blocking, in particular...I know all teams are doing that but man, that takes a toll. We have a goaltender in place to "block shots" and more often than not a blocked shot just ends up in the puck bouncing in a rebound and another shot taken. So are you any further ahead? Some of our key players are going down...that needs to be looked at.
This team's broken down, exhausted and beat up. And we're getting worse, not better. But I didn't call for AV's head either, although I do think that had run its course.
