not one person here could have predicted that Torts would strip MM of what makes him special.

not one person...
It's not the first player that Torts has done this to. Look at Laine's numbers when he left Winnipeg for Columbus. Torts had him and his game went to ****. After one season with Tortorella, Laine's numbers improved. Torts would say that players like Laine and MM need to learn to play the game the right way; focus on their defensive responsibilities. Sure that may be true to a point but not to where it crushes their main skills on offense. And again, as we see with the current Flyers and past teams coached by him, the defense isn't so good.

What about MM potentially just being very tired? Last year he had 48 games in total, now it's not New Year's yet and he is at 33 games, in what is certainly faster and more physically demanding league. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Torts apologist, but...

If he's already tired by this point of the season, then he came here in terrible shape.
