Giant Inflatable Beaver Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 NOT SAYING TORTS IS A BETTER COACH. Just things you think he does better than AV. - Use of Timeouts - Refusal to play Alberts more than a few shifts a game - Stacking the lines right away when we are down, not midway through the 3rd Add yours!

Henrik Kesler Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Aggressiveness in style. Never would have seen an AV team push for the lead in the last minute of the second period in a tied game. Strong forecheck. Willingness to adjust the "gameplan" when it's obvious that the "plan" isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-sCi CoRe- Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 - I like the passion that he brings behind the bench. AV was always too nonchalant when things got tough - As you stated, he uses time outs more effectively. - He speaks his mind. I like that quality in a coach.

Cold Hard Truth Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Better ~Motivator ~more open ~more honest with players ~can coach and not just stand behind the bench smiling ~ better with line combos ~will call a time out in time. ~willing to split the Twins up, instant results. ~better dealing with weasel media~brings fire~Garrison on PP ~League best P.K ~more time for Twins, Bieksa Kesler ~Edler responding well worse ~chewing gum like deer lost in headlights.

6string Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 vigneault was a one dimensional percentages coach, which made him very predicitable for opposing coaches and boring for the fans too. vigneault had little patience for youth and even less patience for roster moves from game to game. kelser should have been on the wing when hodgson was here, he never tried it and the athletic kesler was finally experimented on the wing finally too late last year, enough said! torts works from a foundation but is quick to detect its flaws and adjusts accordingly, where as vigs would stay the course. this is mike gillis's best move as a gm in my opinion, torts has made hockey fun for me once again!

Honeydew Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Our fore checking has gone better compared to last years, PK is very strong for us Powerplay looks more dynamic then the static power play we had last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 funny, I see Ryan Kesler up to 27 minutes per game, hilarious stuff. Henrik and Daniel too, 25 minutes of ice time per game. Might as well play the players who deserve to play. David booth 4 minutes of ice time. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Well, here's what I can see of Torts over AV: - Rewarding players through play - eg: who he chose in the Pens shootout - Santorelli, Kesler, Edler ... even tonight with Daniel - Accountability: Booth - Line up changes/adapting: splitting the Sedins, Kesler top line, Santorelli everywhere - Not afraid to experiment: Welsh, Alberts forward - No BS or spin - Conditioning a priority - Grit, hard work a priority - Shoot first mentality - Shot blocking (although that's good and bad) Big fan of Torts and what he brings to this organization. I liked AV but Torts addresses what this team really needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
