Well, that wasn’t hard to get right, now was it ?My prediction on this game - 35+ shots by CBJ, 1 or 2 goals scored, Bob gets first star

Do you truly believe another coach could get better results with this crappy roster ?Alright, will Torts be gone tomorrow? I'm not a fire-the-coach cheerleader but enough is enough. I refuse to believe that ALL of these players suddenly (over the summer) regressed to ECHL skill-level.

maybe we go for a big trade for a top 6 forward as a hail Mary to save the season ?Crappy yes but I believe its needed and would spark better play.

This season is not worth salvaging. No need to waste what few assets we have to create some false sense of this team being successful. I'd rather tank than go on some pointless streak that brings the team thisclose to making the playoffs and oh so far away the best of the draft.maybe we go for a big trade for a top 6 forward as a hail Mary to save the season ?
It would have to be a package of a defense man and a guy like you describedI believe a firing, benching, waiving would help but I'm not willing to do anything too drastic like trade a top player for a temporary fix. Especially if it is a guy we couldn't keep long term. Trading a Jenner or Foligno or some longer tenured guy would be fine. Some sort of message needs sent. This thing is a mess...
Yeah I think there won’t be any moves made, it’s just me hoping for some excitementThis season is not worth salvaging.

Yes, I do. This team is playing with a defeated mindset from the drop of the puck. Tortorella is infamous for ripping players, hell the team as a whole, even after they've played well. Do you really think he is encouraging the players right now or are they receiving the same snarky, spiteful attitude with which he flays reporters in the post game presser?Do you truly believe another coach could get better results with this crappy roster ?

I mean I honestly don’t see how this group of players can get wining results with an offensive first mind set, we don’t have the skill on the teamYes, I do.

Can we really get something meaningful for Anderson now? His value is all time low nowI agree. Something has to give. I'd send Wennberg and/or Nash to Cleveland and make a minor trade. Mr. Atkinson should visit Mr. Press Box.
I'd ship Anderson out. If he's not hurt, then something else is up. He's got one more year of RFA left after this (only signed through this season) and the history of acrimonious contract negotiations along with his crappy play makes it a pretty easy call to trade him.

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm a fan of Torts. Sadly, in my opinion, he's done and the guys are done listening to him.Making a move to MacLain COULD inspire and it certainly isn't a drop off from Torts. He knows the guys now. Can't really hurt at this point. Sheeeesh, and I do like Torts BTW...
Is that a serious question ? Nearly any coach that understands today’s nhl , and offensive concepts and systems would be getting a better result . Was the dramatic improvement in the powerplay not an indicator enough for you , once Maclean came in ? Guys surprised of an actual offensive system , and Required of being at certain places , at certain times . This garbage of running all our offensive thru the blue line , cheating defenseman up all the time giving up odd man rushes , when we have an actual great defensive core is idiotic . Torts micro manages all the creativity out of his forwards . Oh, by the way , Duclair had another 2 goals today , 13 g on the season , 6 assists , 19 points in 30 games .Do you truly believe another coach could get better results with this crappy roster ?
