Strombone1 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Not that it's breaking news but this latest article by Pierre LeBrun just affirms the faith of VAN Canucks Head Coach next season. Tortorella could be out Even though he still has four years and $8 million left on his deal, I think it is more than likely that John Tortorella will be fired as head coach after the season in Vancouver. I like Torts, but he was never the right fit for that team. The Canucks built a blue-line corps meant for a quick transition game, but the club has played more of a chip and chase, shot-blocking game this season. As one NHL scout told ESPN.com, "The wrong system for that set of players." The real question in Vancouver is whether that’s going to be enough change. I suspect ownership continues to debate internally whether or not to fire GM Mike Gillis and that’s really going to be the biggest decision of all. Personally, I would allow Gillis at least one more year to redirect the ship. I think he’s earned that. Gillis, by the way, also has four more years on his contract.

DeNiro Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 So pretty much TSN trying to stir @$(@ up again... Kind of like when they said Tavares may want out of long island without having any information to confirm it. TSN is the biggest joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish elite3 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Makes sense........ Fire the coach after one bad year... Boo hoo... Give him one more year fire or "promote" gillis to get him out of the front office... Make a few trades and get new faces and young guys in the lineup and I think we will do just fine under Torterellas direction he's not a bad coach, he was great when we were winning but now that we're in a losing 2014 we gotta fire torts right away... Bit we kept AV after we missed the playoffs in one year... This year is no different give the guy a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Although that's 1/2 the outcome I want to see, it's still an opinion. He didn't say, 'inside sources' so I take it just as that. 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Lebrun is a loser. He's a fat leech throwing out speculation. He and the rest of the TurdSupremeNetwork are masters at throwing out crap in hopes of getting traffic. I'll be happy once TSN goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ey40 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 If Torts is fired I want Gillis to go with him. There is no way the first-year coach got the blame for the mess that Gillis is mainly responsible for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo Chili Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hire Laviolette - stanley cup champ as coach, 2 stanley cup appearances without the BORING hockey, drama, and yelling at players torts brings. Even Marc Crawford would be better fit for this team with his run n gun style. Torts acts gets old fast and sooner all players will tune him out if they havent already.

Tangelos Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 When is this franchise gonna stop blaming the coaches and management and finally realize that maybe just maybe we need new PLAYERS. The core has been her for 5+ years! Maybe that's what needs changing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Dreger just repeated the story on the period break. I sure hope they are right; I don't see Torts ever adapting here and I have no interest in seeing the team torn apart to play his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJDDawg Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Totally misleading title. You make it sound like Lebrun says it's done, yet the article is titled "Torts could be out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
