Love it. If we suck, at least Torts will eat Sam and the other reporters alive

They traded for Atkinson because he is Hayes' buddy then hired Torts because of Atkinson, who has never won shit or had a good coach in the NHL, wanted him.
They are so f***ing pathetic and clueless that I truly hate them more than any other team.

Thankfully it doesnt f***ing matter.
The Flyers are dead. Torts is just another Pallbearer.

Just like everything else, they’re doing what they know to do, which is hire who they already knew, and we all knew this was the only outcome since they fired AV. Trotz was just a distraction who they didn’t expect to be out there.

How can you not hire a hockey mind like this?
Bozo GM. Bozo coach. Bozo organization.

I don't want Torts at all.
Anyone have any legit positives with this? I'm pretty sure Torts did adapt and change his system with CBJ. He's not the same chip and chase guy he was in 2010.

Excellent choice! More fuel to the flames. Let this b*tch burn! Let's die Flyers!

Is he totally wrong there, though?
Caps won their only cup when Ovi molded under Trotz.

He carried an otherwise bottom 5 team to the third round of the playoffs. Not only that his defensive impacts are far from bad anyway.

Before thinking about changing his game McDavid would first have to change teams. Even if he turned into Patrice Bergeron, it wouldn't make a difference in Edmonton.

It honestly doesn't matter who we hire, this team is 10 years away from being a contender. And that is being generous. They need to clean house starting from ownership down to Holmgren and Clarke.

I agree. Or his team will have to change. But, back to my question- Is Torts totally in a wrong there?
Also, Flyers do not have a McDavid or someone even close to that tier of talent on the roster, but they do have a lack of winning culture and work discipline. I for one would agree to any coach that can foster that.
I am not advocating for Torts specifically. For the next year or two this team will need to focus on shaking off martini stench and building a culture of accountability and responsibility, as well as drafting and developing talent. And I would like to have a bench boss that can do that. Trotz seems to be better suited for that. But he does not seem to be in the cards.

Yes, Torts is wrong. McDavid just had 33 points and took his overachieving team to the Conference Finals. He did, in fact, fill the net in the playoffs.

Would you say he filled the net? How much better could he have played?
