John Tortorella is a dumbass

[Vegaspunk]

Did Adin Hill piss on Johns shoes or something? I’ve never seen a head coach with so much bias and favouritism towards one goalie.

Adin Hill will be traded this summer. Guaranteed.

Vegas fans will rejoice if this happens, dude's contract is terrible

I'd like insurance in case Hart falters next season and Hill definitely ain't it

Martin Jones was solid in those playoffs. Khudobin was also pretty solid in his cup finals run playoffs.

But these are all goalies who had rather forgettable careers. Khudobin was in and out of the NHL until he was about 30 years old, and Martin Jones never had a competent season in the NHL after he was 28 years old, save for a season at the end when he was basically a third stringer.

My ranking had nothing to do with their play during their cup finals playoff years, but their overall careers in the league. It’s very easy to forget Martin Jones and Anton Khudobin were cup finals starting goalies because their careers were pretty unspectacular in comparison to almost every other cup finals starting goalie of the last 20 years. Not because they had poor playoff runs in those years.

Gotcha.

He goofed with the goaltending decision for sure.

Canes were revitalized by their change and Vegas died.

Bussi was actually good though, all year long. Better than Andersen.

Hill has absolutely sucked all year. Hart post-injury was the first good goaltending Vegas got all season.

Coaches show a lot of faith in goalies all the time. This is hardly the first time. Tortorella has no problem calling out goalies. Just ask John Grahame. Making a decision to go with a cold goalie who had a poor year in do or die games in the SCF over the guy who got you there isn’t something I would’ve done either. Hart was hardly the only reason Vegas lost.

We talking about the guy who left his clothes in Carolina?

Seems pretty smart to me

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Torts literally and figuratively got pantsed

Dumb ass mfer

Dumb ass mfer

Guy wins a gold medal is a cup champ and finals showing is a dumbas? Makes sense.

Throw Hill in there cold turkey and I'm not convinced Vegas would have even bothered pulling their goalie in the 3rd because the deficit is probably even larger. This was easily Hart's best performance of the series since Game 1 and his team let him down. No love lost for Tortorella (or Hart) but this was just a coach backing his goalie who brought him to within 2 wins of a Stanley Cup. People are losing the plot here looking for something to hang on Torts.
