Down by the River Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Torts is an easy guy to love and and easy guy to hate. For the Canucks, they need to judge him on his coaching abilities rather than his personality. I don't think he's the greatest of coaches because he doesn't really think the game as well as others do. Doesn't change the fact that I love that he ripped Hartley, though I know that Hartley won't care and will either not respond or just say that he doesn't care about what Torts' opinion is.

Dragonfruits Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 i don't think any coach could of gotten this group into the playoffs considering what all went down new division not being able to play against Anahiem SJ and LA 17 back to backs a lot of freak random injuries a couple of suspensions everything that could go wrong this season for the Canucks did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure010 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Floyd Meaweather Jr. is 5'8... Repeat. 5'8. Not saying those other 45 boxers were soft. But... Manny Pacquiao is 5'6....Repeat 5'6..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Craig Button defended the hit on TSN. `sometimes a five minute major is all that`s warranted`. What an asshole.Wow... That is exactly the type of the hit that the league wants to eliminate. I don't think the intent was there but still it was an illegal hit resulting in an injury to the head area... it warrants some suspension. But knowing that we are talking about the NHL, I would not be shocked if no suspension comes out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Canuck Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I do believe Stan Johnathan was 5ft 7 . I also believe Tie Domi was 5ft 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 What do you mean you don't see that? You think we will be trading or buying out all of our under performers? I doubt we'll even trade or buyout a quarter of them. Just as always the players will get off completely free and the coach gets all the blame, you see it all over the NHL all the time. The real repercussions solely fall on Torts. You're making my argument for me. The players should and are taking a lot of the blame, but they can't be moved in most cases unless they want to be. They're not getting off completely free from this, not at all. Will the real repercussions fall solely on Torts? Probably. That's because he's the moveable part of this mess. Bringing back this coach and all these players next year solves nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's a good indication that he did not suffer a concussion. He would probably be held overnight if he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Torts,and he's a breath of fresh air from most coaches...but he's the.wrong fit for this team..When the entire team is underachieving ..that falls squarely on the coach..add on top of that,the injuries which are a result of his systems.

It's totally his systems fault that Hanzal went crazy and injured 3 Canucks, or that Tanev hit Burr in the face with a puck, or that Luo got run over by Brown...

Moonshinefe Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 So if anyone is interested in contacting the Calgary Herald over that tweet, here you go: http://www.calgaryherald.com/about-calgary-herald/contactus.html Their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/yycherald Her comment was incredibly stupid and insensitive, but I'd urge people to be civil in your response to her comment. She's apologized. All too often these internet vigilante things over social media end up ruining lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do. But I think the general pretense of Torts' style doesn't fit the makeup of this team. I didn't when he disclosed it upon his hiring, and I don't now that it has been a factor in what became a disaster of a season. He's not flexible and he has no Plan B. Getting canned after one year is a kick in the gut and might seem unfair, but it doesn't mean it's not the correct move. It likely means he should never have been brought in in the first place. I just don't want to waste time and take one bad season and compound it into 2 or 3. Torts is probably the right coach for some team, but this team isn't it.
