He’s been doing it, in his own way, since the Frost scratchings to be honest. And in his blog and own boards, he’s way freer in his criticisms.Is it me or is even Meltzer starting to take some jabs at Tortorella online?

Yeah, he's been doing it all season, really.
The twitter Authentics used to taunt Bill about Frost all the time. I suppose they do it less now.

It’s still wild to think that we went from AV to Torts.
Just two irredeemable personalities (sans Torts’ animal work) that the general public eats up because they’ve been around forever.
Edit: Toss a little Quenneville in there since they really wanted him and it gets even better.

People's replies in that clearly believe they are either done or close to being done rebuilding

Well, copy and pasting took 2 minutes. But I refuse to do mini seasons. I finished Affinity already just through event/BR.

On March 22nd, 2022 the third spot in the Metro had 85 points (Rangers in 64 games)
On March 22nd, 2023 the third spot in the Metro had 92 points (Rangers in 71 games).
On March 22nd, 2024 the third spot in the Metro has 79 points (Flyers in 70 games).
This “has them in a playoff spot” nonsense needs to stop.

It doesn't matter what has happened in previous seasons. You control what you can control. The flyers are currently in a playoff spot. You can hate Torts all you want, but it's disingenuous to say he hasn't gotten this team playing effective two way hockey, all while having the worst PP in the league.

But...but...he's also responsible for the worst PP in the league, no?

Huh a try hard Torts team with a bad PP. I wonder what the outcome will be come playoff time.

In a similar line of “Why does Torts get credit for all good things but is never held responsible for any bad things?” questioning:
I keep wondering how the creatures who give him endless praise and credit for the teams current form and standings position would explain why he didn’t do the same thing last year. We’re not supposed to believe that he suddenly learned how to coach over the summer, are we?
If the players aren't responsible for the improvement he should’ve been able to do the same thing last year, right?
Still haven’t seen anyone explain this in a way that doesn’t immediately involve blaming last year’s roster, which automatically proves the roster changes and performances are what made the difference, not him.

Yeah, I don't know why we're giving Torts credit for the team being ok despite his horrendous work on the power play. People just looking to be optimistic, I suppose.

They aren't doing "ok".
This place is terrible for giving credit to people they don't like.
There isn't a single person in the hockey world that had this team in playoff contention. Not one. This team is playing far above its collective ability. You can shit on Torts all you want for his many, many flaws, but like it or not, this team is playing good hockey.
are they actually playing good hockey or are they playing ok hockey but are managing to win nonetheless
