its next level brainfart...
Many NHL coaches make decisions that drive us nuts...but they are in their right as coach to run the team how they see fit. I dislike a lot of his coaching moves but given where they are at and what the front office wants, i understand why they have his back in that regard.
Not coming out to talk to media and making your assistant do it? To me that is failing to do your job. Of all of his antics and methods, to me that is the most clear cut violation of his job and he should be disciplined for it.
He can leave our best offensive players on the bench for OT, thats in his power as coach, but he then should not hide from defending his decisiom.

This Flyers team has the 10th best P% out of 19 since the 2005 lockout. So that's what has the authentics all fired up - being the exact median.

The Torts show is only going get worse. Keep it rolling this should be entertaining. I wonder since IBX is willing to pay his fines will someone from there do his media obligations also?

It's ridiculous how low standards have dropped. The team has an average year and you'd think they're contenders.
Meltzer's take:
So what Bill is telling me is, Briere will give him the AGM job instead of Flahr because of such accountability?

Meltzer's take:
They noticed Tortorella's lack of accountability when he didn't answer for the Couturier scratching, so then he want out and did the same thing with his OT choices.
Noticing hypocrisy doesn't actually change anything. Either give Torts a slap on the wrist or turn a blind eye and let it continue.

When Max Miller of the Hockey News reported the following:
"In a sense, it was good to give Sean the chance to, maybe, recuperate a little bit more," Briere said. "I know when we say that, he doesn't want to be scratched."....
"Early on, we were asking a lot of him. He was playing on the powerplay. He was facing all the top lines. He was first on the penalty kill. Sean was really beat up, too. If you remember, you go back to earlier in the season, Sean was missing some practices here and there," Briere explained. "It wasn't just to recuperate from playing 22 minutes [a game], he was really banged up. I think at one point, he had five different injuries that he was dealing with, and he was still playing."
Briere cut Tortorella off at the knees. Since this was the situation with SC, that is what should have been said and reported. For Tortorella to frame SC's absence from the lineup in the manner that he did was gross. IMO a disgusting fireable offense.

That's because he's a terrible human being with the emotional intelligence of a sewer lid.

Torts is personally offended by players who struggle due to injuries. He thinks they got hurt to spite him.

Your team was a bottom feeder last year and this year you're fighting for a playoff spot with relatively little talent. Torts has them playing hard and reasonably well. The Rangers should have beaten the crap out of you yesterday and didn't. I can't see ragging on your coach this year because you think he put the wrong line out in overtime. All in all he seems to have done very well.

Oh wow a team with minimal future (in no small part because of the demands of said blowhard egomaniacal coach) is average once, chiefly based on record against bad West teams. Plan the parade.
Truly, this is the first time he's done something wrong in overtime. Yes. Surely that is the entire context. No other actions, decisions, or history.

We'll see. Where did I read that part of the reason Torts got dumped in CBJ was that he wanted to move into management and Jarmo said no way. I can see him moving into a Senior Advisor to the President role, working with Jones. They could restructure the $8M they owe him over a longer period and keep him on. They don't want to fire him, but he's really not the guy for the job long term. 5 or 6 more years of this? Pass and I think Danny thinks so too.
