Lots of wins coaching bad teams. Briere knows more about hockey than anyone on this board, and he thinks he's doing a good job. I will defer to Briere's opinion. But I get it, the Flyers have been bad for a long time under various coaches and managers, and it's frustrating. But the roster is mediocre, and they're probably better off getting decent draft picks over the next couple of years, so I'm ok with Tortorella for now. But in a few years when the roster will hopefully be good enough to progress in the playoffs, I'm ok with replacing the coach if somebody else better is available.
But I'm cooking a nice steak now so can't put too much thought into justifying his performance since the salary cap was put in place.
