Mathew Barzal Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thank god. Now hopefully we get a coach who knows how to utilize the Sedins properly. Seeing them on the PK this year almost made me puke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyWalton Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Kinda logical with a new Prez and GM coming,, he wasnt their hire and not the right fit..I dont tweet..love to see what Torts said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Torts seems like a genuine guy, but he has no vision as a coach. He is not a student of the game. He is passionate and loud, but he is not a tactician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*VaNcOuVeRCaNuCkS* Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Don't like the decision should of given him another year Was hoping the new GM would supply Tort's with a more offensive lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Interesting to think which players had an influence in this decision. I mean some of them must have been upset with his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckofSteel Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hahaha Condescending Torts tweet Won't post it here for obvious reasons but look it up Torts doesn't even use his Twitter account, unless you mean someone else tweeted something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren5556 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I liked torts and believed he deserved one more year but the fact is his style of coaching doesn't match the image Linden wants to create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amish Rake Fighter Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wasn't Linden pumping Torts tires earlier today on tim and sid? I thought they were buddies too, Tortorella even let Linden ride his bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Shirokov Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The guy was handed a bad card. He was brought in with a mandate to change conventional wisdom. But the team was stale and on the decline. Honestly, I like Tortorella. Brought energy and did everything in his power to get the guys going. Although I agree he's not the right coach for the canucks. There's just too much tension and scruitiny in this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I'm not knocking Trotz, he is a great Coach and there is a reason he was employed by Nashville for so long, Just figure Linden would be contradicting himself by bringing in Trotz. Yea get what you're saying, but he's also contracted himself from his remarks early today if the firing is true so you never know I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 If Trevor is wanting exciting hockey back in Vancouver, then wouldn't Barry Trotz be the LAST guy he'd hire? Its not like he's had the greatest offensive teams. The one year in Nashville they had a good offensive team (06-07) the Preds tied with Colorado for 1st in the West in GF, and 4th in the league overall.

Tystick Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 from torts firing... we now know there is a gm in place Would Linden have been able to speak with Benning? I mean, Boston is waiting for the second round anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustapha Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Well you know the Canucks are a classy organization when the the report comes out before the coach is actually fired. Linden said that the team would be assessed by himself and the new GM before changes would be made, I guess that was incorrect. I am not a huge Torts fan, but I don't like the way the Canucks are dealing with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Horvat Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Not sure what to make of this yet. I admire Torts' passion and how he stuck up for the team during tricky times this year. On the other hand, players never seemed to resonate with him. I will say this though, I have zero interest of bringing in Barry Trotz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to social media and the need to feel special by breaking the news first, even if it isn't an appropriate time, nothing is private anymore.
