Oh my. Fasten your seatbelts.
The idea that the Canucks core players will be afraid of Tortorella is moronic though. Some of the dumbest drivel on these boards.
Any decent coach is capable of adapting gameplans - and I sure as hell hope that is the case here, because if the Canucks start playing Rangers (of recent) hockey, I'm going to be shaking my head as long as the experiment lasts.
But of course, a big Suck it!... you morons in the Vancouver media. Yeehaaaaaa! Obviously the upside here for the fans. Province scribes gonna be an even bigger sideshow! You are obsolete.
Not sure that's much consolation for having to settle for a guy who certainly wasn't at the top of my list, but at least the Canucks waited until the Tippett decision was known, and who knows... it's appears it's time to 'give Tortorella a chance'.
