Do you approve or disaprove of John Tortorella

The difference between this team's play under Richards and Torts is night and day.. these past two games, this group has been so motivated.

Most important part of this quote "two games"

Now, the real question is - is that difference "because Tortorella", or "because Coach Just Got Fired"?

Reserving judgment on that call myself, despite certain overwhelming prejudices.

My agreement is such that it warrants a Letestu head bob.

This makes me sad.



But I did not want Torts, but when we hired him I reserved judgement. I see a lot of things that I like that really doesn't have anything to do with the scoreboard necessarily. I posted them at length in the other Torts thread, and don't feel like retreading here, but I'll just say that so far I'm seeing a lot of good things. It's still early, and I haven't completely made up my mind yet, but so far I think it's going better than I thought it would have.

I was "fine" with the hiring of tortorella Of course this start isn't all on Richard's but a change had to be made. Giving up a 2nd round pick was souring. If the 2nd round pick is a mid to late 2nd I'd be more fine with it.

it's still way too early to see long-term on this. Yes, the play might be better, but it's still 2 games. Interested to see how the play continues for this year and beyond.

Tortorella was no my first choice. I had hopped the ducks fired Boudreau and we could have hired him. A coaching change was needed. I'm glad it happened but not my first choice. That being said, I approve.

Torts will be fired within two years but he's what this debacle needs right now.... I give JD credit for finally making a move... JD can be a stubborn old man but losing 7 in row matching a world record finally made him do something..

Ooooh, not a Boudreau fan at all.

Yeah, what has Boudreau done in comparison to Tortorella than take money out of the young people's pockets?

I don't think the difference between Boudreau and Richards would be enough. The same reason I don't see Anaheim hiring Richards if Boudreau is fired. From my understanding, both are "player's coaches".
