Tribute The Official "Fire Tortorella" Thread

[dragonoffrost]

Eight point improvement is certainly a miracle only Christ Himself could pull off. When do the Torts prayer candles go on sale?

See these people are the they were supposed to be bottom 5 in the league braindead zombies. They don't see that there wasn't a huge jump and that Coots return alone even when Torts rode him to death made this team better.

Fire John Tortabella!

If this team wants a guy that will speak his mind, Jake is a great choice. Love the dude.

 

[Cody Webster]

No they didn't. I mean yes of course they had a few adds like Hathaway but no big FA moves. No star signings. Just a little hole filling. I don't see the lie you are talking about though. They've done a decent job in the trades and maybe got lucky in the non trade, used the cap space to get more picks. Pretty good job of restructuring, rebuilding and still competing.

I guess you wanted a full tear down or a tank. I didn't.

How's that rebuild going?

 

[Curufinwe]

I got a google news alert on my phone saying "John Tortorella confirms what we suspected..." and it was about Carter Hart, but when I first saw it out of the corner of my eye I thought it said "John Travolta confirms what we suspected..."

Jagr would be better but he's not going to coach here....

Imagine the 3 am Practices.

If we're gonna keep the nepo train rolling, at least give me Kimmo in some capacity.

I just want to see the guys who slack bag skated at 3 am not the whole team during a practice.

Pathetic end of year. Not mad at Brière at all. Some posters will complain that he "WASTED" the rebuild by "TRADING ASSETS" in a rebuild. This is dumb af. We were in a playoffs position, he got a first and traded a 4th not to let the team sink (which has to be done, otherwise what do players even play for? f*** loser's mentality... tanking is good in theory but in practice you manage human being who devote their lives to the game, can't not try when in a position to make PO)... but it did sink anyway. Torts definitely lost the room. He should be fired at the end of the year, this shitshow is nonsense. The way this team is going, though, does make sense. I still trust Danny B. He did what should be done in the position he was in. Now what he needs to do is fire Torts. No question. Give interim to whoever and find a coach for 2025-26.

Yeah, thank god Briere traded that 4th to avoid this team having a loser mentality. Picks well spent, I say.

There may be no end in sight. Dark days ahead.

Mediocrity reigns.

Chaos reigns.

I wanna buy a 4 row section for a game next year in the lower bowl and just hang a John sucks banner across the seats

Kimmo is 100% the coach we need.. but he wants nothing to do with the Org. while the oldbois club is attached

Because his thought process is diametrically opposed to the style/culture they want.

 

[dragonoffrost]

To add to it, if the old guard was not around and Jonesy and Danny B were really running the show I think Kimmo might think about it.

I have no idea if the players want him out or not...But, IF the players in the room have begun to turn on Torts right now, next year is going to be MUCH worse.

If the players are giving up on Torts, why the f*** would you want, if you're a player, to come into the next season with the same coach you don't want to play for? Especially as a collective...

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

On one hand if the players have tuned out Torts (and he stays) maybe we finish bottom 5 and get a top pick... on the other hand he destroys whatever mental fortitude is left on the team permanently.

Bring back Yeo and ride Sandstrom and Petersen/Fedotov next year...lol

 

[VladDrag]

Yup 100% agreed. That's what I mean.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Dear Santa,

For early Christmas this year, can I please have some leaks of the Flyers exit interviews make their way to ASF? I promise I will be a good boy all of 2024.

 

[mize370]

We would never be so fortunate. He’s the opposite of a yes man

Only Sign Guy is allowed that privilege. Or has that changed. Cowardly, inept organizations do that
Edit to say his signs are LAME!

"We can all appreciate the speculation. And when it comes to John Tortorella and the stories that follow, there’s always speculation. As for his future as head coach…a Flyers management source says “Torts is not leaving the bench”. He still has the fire…no question about that."

Not necessarily a vote of confidence but, never the less, the type of statement by management that comes out before a person is removed from their present position. He's got to go.
I don't know how the organization goes out and sells tickets for next year unless major changes are made. What is the theme going to be? "Come Back and See More of the Same Shit That You've Been Watching for the Last Two Seasons".
