SuperReverb2 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 If Linden had any balls and sense he would retain Torts and listen very closely to what he (Torts) is saying. Out core is old and stale and they need to ne surrounded by YOUTH ala the San Jose model. Failure to do this type of "retool", as well as hiring a new coach will simply mean that we are going to do and say all of this all over again at the same time next year after another season of not making the playoffs.

Well, you got what you wished for. But really, OP. You could stand to have searched at least a bit for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, give it rest with trolling and stirring it up around here. You attack someone over what you consider a misleading thread title about Quinn.

Merci Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think Aqualini has the final say. I think Aqualini thinks Torts knows how to win the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susraiders Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I say he gets fired. We may as well start fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperReverb2 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think Gillis will be enough for this year. My money is on Torts staying. Agree that Torts knows how to win a cup, and you can't argue with what he said today either. All true and CERTAINLY needs to be addressed.

Tangelos Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 There no bs with torts. What you see is what you get. Give him another year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I still think Torts is gone. Trying to secure the exact GM that Trevor wants and then telling him 'by the way, Torts will be staying on' just won't fly. Why would someone like Benning agree to come on with a restriction like that? Clear the dance floor and tell the band to strike up a new number.

Absent Canuck Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I voted he stays. He is the right guy for our rebuild. I dont know what Trevor is going to do though. Guessing on his actions is a straight 50/50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madwolf Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think he stay for two reasons. The least of which is that Torts didn't fall of the turnip truck yesterday and forget how to coach hockey, he's proven he can win. The other, and more important half is that if they really believe this is a rebuild, even if it is only minor, you don't bring in a new coach right away under the new GM. If they're rebuilding you can almost count next year as a lost year, so there is no point in bringing in a new coach. Torts would get used as a scapegoat for year 1, a free pass for the new GM. Then you slide Torts out in year 2, and slide in the new guy and as long as he maintains or gets better than Torts last year then he looks good and the new GM comes out smelling like roses.

Cold Hard Truth Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Torts should get at least one more season and some new players.Massive changes needed to happen last year and the year before and all we did was hire a new coach ?He was hung out to dry with pretty much exact same team AV had minus the 2 world class goalies and chuckedin a harder division.
