John Tortorella Named (Part Time) Head Coach Discussion

[Hollywood Cannon]

He'll be gone after 1 season. f***ing fraud.

Hopefully, saddling a new GM (who will just be Briere anyway so it doesn't really matter) with an ass coach with three more years on his deal is top notch Flyers.

Maybe in a few more decades hockey will have coaches like this, instead of dinosaur assholes like Torts

Can you translate that for me?

あなたの研究とそのようなすべてに追加します
ピースをまとめるのを助けるために、そして彼らはされてきました
驚くばかり。私は十分に良いことを言うことができません
その中で働くすべての男と女について
部門と彼らが私たちをどれだけ助けたか
私がここにいる2年間。」

Torts is choosing to play an AHL-level winger 15 minutes a game. No one’s forcing him to do that.

The GM is forcing him to do this. But Tortorella is the de facto GM. You can square this circle if you think really hard and long enough.

Simple Sam nearly got him to freak out yesterday.

 

[VladDrag]

The cognitive dissonance around here is amusing: "they really suck, they have no talent," "Torts is a failure because he can't make a no talent team look good."

That is not what people are saying. You just make stuff up all the time.

They do suck. They are lacking talent. Torts is doing a bad job because he’s exacerbating the problem with his favoritism.

 

[Audible Velvet]

It's fine to be passionate or emotionally invested in what you do, admirable even. But acting like a jerk crosses the line of professionalism. People around you deserve more than that.
That being said, the media can be completely obnoxious too.
And again, how much are you getting paid, you jackass? Pull it together bucko.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Jorts is a c***.

 

[FlyerNutter]

But he’s got that Philly attitude.

Imagine, being so bereft of talent - that you are forced into hiring/marketing a HC to try to keep your bullshit “identity” relevant.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

I’m torn. f***ing hate Torts but seeing Simple Sam chastised like a 7 year old is too good to pass up. More of it please.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Weren’t we looking forward to Torts jostling with the media? This is what we wanted.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I look forward to the team becoming good, and that ain't happening.

Well, no shit Sherlock. I mean when we learned Couts and Atkinson were going to miss the season, and JVR would be out for six weeks, was anyone predicting playoffs? Heck, isn't the consensus that they end up with less than 70 points?

So why do people act surprised?

Bring back every player who is injured and you're looking at a team destined for 20-25 instead of 27-32. Your guy Fletcher sucks ass, and your other guy Tortorella isn't the godlike wizard you spent months portraying him as.

 

[sabremike]

Jorts is a c***.

The reason I can't hate him is The Brooksie Rule: Anyone whose wildest fantasy is tossing Larry Brooks straight into an active volcano is someone I automatically like.

 

[tictactoe]

I still love it... this could end up epic, literally unforgettable like throwing shit at Santa may actually be nothing comparing to what can actually happen.
john travolta trying to fight Fletcher, john travolta throwing shit on the ice and quitting, john travolta spitting and pissing on his own players/ice, john travolta institutionalized

i wont be surprized..

Sadly, I don’t think it will happen that quickly. The bean counters at Shitcast won’t want to pay AV and Torts 9 million to drink martinis and yell at clouds. The arrogant piece of donkey crap will be here til at least December of 23 when he’s inevitably replaced by interim head doofus Shaw or, even worse, Lappy.

The good news is that if Tortorella ends up needing firing there should be no way Comcast doesn't wake up and take an extremely hard look at what the hell is happening here.

Paying a shitload of players who never play and coaches who never coach. They're just lighting money on fire and never going anywhere.

 

[deadhead]

Why would Torts need firing?
The team is playing better, it just lacks talent.
As far as "favoritism," the only players who've played for Torts are Atkinson (IR) and Sedlak
Sedlak should be playing more minutes, not less, based on his play.

What all this griping comes down to is people want to see Frost play offense, and ignore the fact that he has failed to generate offense. Maybe he's just not been very impressive?
Going back to last season 69g, 6-11 17 at ES.

Now if we added someone who managed to put up 72g 11-10 21 in his career, even though he was a 1st rd pick, I don't think anyone would be very excited.

For all you Seeler fans, I'd just note he has the best advanced metrics of all our D-men at this point in the season.
And he's been playing with Risto.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Why would he need firing? Because he's a dinosaur who has followed pretty much every single path that we expected him to.

The Flyers are playing worse and it shows in pretty much every metric compared to last year's dumpster fire. Are they playing better than the start of the season? Maybe but they're still terrible. Yes, this is a team that is devoid of talent, but you live in absolute fantasy land if you think this team is playing even remotely poor, let alone something like decent.

We also are aware that it's possible to play favorites despite never having coached the player before this season, right? I'm going to assume that was intentionally overlooked.

Yay, lets remove absolutely all context when it comes to Morgan Frost, that's fun and not stale whatsoever.
