I suspect rather than a "softer, gentler" Coach Torts, he's a more refined and more nuanced Coach Torts. Time will tell if he's less mercurial.

I think most people are missing Tort's point. He is trying to push this team to a new level. CBJ just got 3 points in a B2B. In the past it would have been a "pat on the back," good job team take the day off.
Torts felt some players (veterans) who could have given a better effort. Torts is challenging these guys and I LOVE IT! These veterans are getting paid a nice salary and need to put on the big boy pants.
If Tort's didn't think they could do it, he wouldn't say a word.

Torts didn't call out names but:
It's not the captain.
It's not the goalies.
It's not the rookies.
Third in GA. It's not the D. A lot of people on the mains think JJ is trash. I thought he was good again in St. Louis and had some intensity. Will need him to step up now with Jones out.
It's not only scoring points.
It's bringing your best every night. The intensity.
Our vets (forwards) need to play as hard as our younger players.
When the work goes up the points will come.
They know who they are.
Let's see who responds.

Looks like Saad is in the doghouse as a result of Saturday. Good teaching moment by Torts - a young guy like Saad needs to know you have to bring it all the time, and a momentary lapse in effort can cost your team the game.
It would be too easy for Torts to call out Dubi or Boone - those guys know they're playing like crap.
In order for the Jackets to make the playoffs, they can't let up, and I think Torts wants to make sure there's always an edge to them, and if that means calling out a guy like Saad, so be it.

Its not about teaching Saad, its about teaching the entire organization. Holding vets accountable for lack of effort and showing the team everyone is equal is such an important message.

Now looks like Saad may be a healthy scratch for tomorrow night's game per Porty. If so, guess that means we see Milano.

What? How? He wouldn't have got in line rushes yesterday if Cam didn't sit out to tend to a personal matter.
