First year with the Jackets (15-16), they had the 3rd highest GA in the league, which was the same number as the previous year, but they also scored 14 less goals and had 13 less team points from the previous year (14-15). Jackets were also in the bottom 10 for PP in 15-16.
In 16-17, the team did seem to score a good number of goals and they stopped getting scored on as much (6th in GF and 2nd least goals allowed), however, they were only 12th for PP.
Basically, when looking at the numbers, even if it may mean less goals for the Flyers, it does not answer the other several elephants in the room. It's like getting slashed with a sword and only using a small band aid on it. You may fix a small area, but you're bleeding out everywhere else with no stopping in site.
And lastly, I can't see how Torts being signed would bring more people back into the arena and sell more tickets. What part of Torts or the game he wants the Flyers to play would put butts back in seats? Torts solves nothing and instead starts to instill the outdated use of tough love for players.
Also, be prepared to see more injured players as a key staple of Torts hockey is to block f***ing everything.
If people want him around just for personality and post-game stuff, instead of actually improving, then you're watching f***ing hockey for all the wrong reasons. "He sucks as a coach, but it's so fun to watch him be a trainwreck off the ice!" Yeah, no, f*** that.
