Popular Post viking mama Posted May 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Haven’t enough teams been through the “Tortorella experiment” to know it ends up putting teams through the proverbial ringer?! He’s a core-buster, hot-head & incapable of doing the right thing long-term by his players. He’s someone with no diplomacy. He does not ‘always’ demonstrate mutual respect with each & every player upon his teams, nor answer to “all” persons who may be covering him in the media. He’s a narcissist who easily invites drama, becomes vindictive & can blow a gasket at any time. Let him & his legacy depart into the graveyard of yester-year’s most infamous coaching careers. He’s done like dinner! Edited June 10, 2022 by viking mama 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I hope Philly hires Torts. Can't wait to see how Torts and Bobby Clarke co-exist. Can't wait to see how he gets along with the Philly media (the same group that got called out by Bryz). And as @nuckin_futz, mentioned, can't wait to see how he co-exists with the Philly fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke is one of four senior advisors. I think the issue is can he get along with Chuck Fletcher. Bottom line I'd bank on a 72 year old Clarke, than screw loose Torts.

Kragar Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I saw something where they were talking about Tocchet being options for both Philly and Vegas. Seems almost as bad a choice as Torts. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Seems like the perfect match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Torts will squeeze out wins for a while. They need a goalie though for the winning to go more than a short time. Maybe hiring Torts could mean a landing spot for Miller? Miller for Flyers’ unprotected 2023 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Could be his last coaching gig if he gets it, he's getting up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BureBurrito Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Sweet, let's get some players from Philly who won't want to play for tough as nails Torts (for a good value)...Provorov Konency, JVR and 1st round pick swaps for Myers, Dickinson, and Miller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I think Torts would be a better fit in Florida. They need to learn to play big boy hockey and Torts is the man to do it. IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 No other coach is as entertaining as Torts, as long as it’s not the Canucks I hope someone hires him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 So looking at Recycled dinosaurs. he’s a worn out and his antics are short lived and not tolerated in this era. Yelling and screaming and finger wagging or poking (now know as assault )) don’t work on the younger generations it has the opposite effect. Adapt or die like don cherry and dinosaurs he made his choice. Good riddance. But hey if the flyers want a bunch of unhappy players asking for trades by all means bring this fool in. he should stick to broadcasting in some obscure US market and post a stupid tweet every now and again so people can remember why he’s out of the nhl… 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
