The winters are long and dark in Volgograd

Torts fired. After we fire Laviolette, if we hire either Torts or Quenneville, I’m not watching this team.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

The money id pay to see torts come in here for the final 10 games and verbally assault this mentally weak group knows no limits

Ok if it’s just for the remainder of the season, then I’ll take Torts back.

Guys barely listen to Torts ranting anymore. They don't take him seriously.

Not for 1 second. He is allergic to winning.

Guys barely listen to Torts ranting anymo

Not for 1 second. He is allergic to winning.

Our team has also been allergic to winning. Maybe both allergies will cancel each other out and the outcome either being we win, or the universe collapses. Either or is fine.

 

[Mike in Houston]

BRING! HIM! BACK!

He became a lazy fraud imo. Hard pass.

Have you seen the Flyers roster? What was he supposed to do with them?

 

[Mike in Houston]

This group deserves John Tortorella. They'd either play hard or they wouldn't play.

 

[Cmox]

He'd completely reject this core, haha

 

[Mike in Houston]

We should've traded Lavi to PHI for Torts. They each had a year left on their contracts.

 

[NickyFotiu]

He did what he does. Trade away any offensive talent then cry we cant score. Pattern has been the same for years. Preaches responsibility but never takes any. Then trys to step out after eliminated. Horrible powerplays in city after city. Have heard in the past he barely does anything in practices going back to Van. He is not the guy people think. They picture 25 years ago.

 

[NYR94]

He'd completely reject this core, haha

Paul Marice

 

[Profet]

BRING! HIM! BACK!

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Torts is honorable enough to fall on his sword. Unlike a certain NyR coach

 

[ArPanet]

Ready for the Torts and AV podcast.

I know everyone loves a misanthrope coach who will belittle players constantly and make them bag skate until they puke, but that style of coach is a relic of the past for me. Tortorella was not what the Flyers or any other team needed, and hopefully he can retire and focus on his many hobbies, among which I figure must be shooting bottles with pictures of kittens on them.
