Nuxin07 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 My past posts say what I think of Torts. I clearly wasn't a fan. But did AV inherit Players who understood Torts' style, and in turn, inherit Torts' team? Or did AV finally learn from past playoff failures? Either way good luck to AV in the finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Shot block-wise for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 No he just had better players to defend an 1-0 lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lychees Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Their playoff run feels like our playoff run in 2011 honestly, without the whole question mark hovering over the goalie at times. I still think LA/Chicago beats them, it'll be interesting though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armada Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Nah AV was just a better coach than everyone thought. Also its easy to point fingers at the coach when clearly the players were the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakanucks Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 i think he definitely got the better end of the deal, the rangers were obviously used to blocking all sort of shots during torts time....the canucks on the other hand....they were starting to become a mess when AV left.... not gonna say its not all him, we'll see how he does against old coach rivals in sutter or quenville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 AV help took the Rangers to a whole new level. Tortorella was just dead weight. Look at how Brad Richards is doing now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Brad Richards is showing up because their were talks of a buyout or trade so he finally started to play like the player NYR shelled out the dough for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I always believe that players inherit some skill from a previous coach. I think the Rangers learned a sound defensive structure with Torts, and even when playing a different style under AV, maintained this ability.

apollo Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 That was all AV. Torts is out of a job and probably in a mental house. Congratulations AV. I'm stepping off the habs bandwagon and on to the Rangers. can't believe I'm saying this but Go rangers go ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all the Canucks players who had career bad years under Torts. That idiot wanted to buy out Burrows too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahk Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 LA or Chicago will crush them in 4. Alain Vigneault is a choke artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I disagree. Look at all the Canucks players who had career bad years under Torts. That idiot wanted to buy out Burrows too take a look at all the Canucks trending downwards after the Cup final this crap was happening long before Torts got here and people need to get that through their narrow minded heads he got tossed into a horrible situation caused by Gillis and AV end of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 also Montreal would've won this series if it wasn't for the refs. Also the fact that the NYRs Krieder(hate him) took out Price. Cant blame T(goalie) he stood on his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
