Tribute The Official "Fire Tortorella" Thread

[Chicken N Raffls]

When the Flyers miss the playoffs this year, Tortorella will have missed the playoffs in back to back years.

Even Hakstol managed to avoid back to back playoff misses.

And since making the playoffs is the way you measure a coach's success according to some here, it would stand to reason those same people would logically have to concede that Torts is a worse coach than Hakstol. That's a tough one.

Hear me out, though.

It will also officially be the 14th time in 17 seasons that he failed to advance past the first round. Great coach though.

Love all the Torts apologists in the thread about him on the main board.

Apparently he's done an incredible job with what he was given this year.

They will spin it that Hakstol wasn't in a rebuild. We all know that's coming.

Those teams were in more of a rebuild than this team ever was, lol.

 

[dragonoffrost]

Those teams were in more of a rebuild than this team ever was, lol.

But those teams never said they were.... whereas this one was stated and then was proven wrong.

Truly, missing the playoffs with a group not good enough to assure a playoff spot is elite work

20 years
17 seasons
14 years not making the 2nd round
1 season making it past the 2nd round

I feel like people don‘t grasp how long 20 years of suckitude is. That‘s a long f***ing time. 20 years before Jorts won the cup… senior advisors Clarke, Barber, and Holmgren were still on the team.

Investigate Torts for matchfixing

Must win final game and this is the icetime

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

"We didn't belong here anyways! RABBLE RABBLE!"

Seriously, f***ing fire this dipshit.

 

[BringBackFletcher]

Masterful job by torts

 

[renberg]

You know that his hit target for this summer is Frost. I wonder where he’ll be playing next year.

 

[Beef Invictus]

We might as well get this started. I think I showed immense restraint by not making this the second he was hired.

The coach who is too lazy to coach, and blames the players for it. Who has no understanding of modern offense, and consequently no idea how to defend it either. Who has tanked player values and sabotaged the re-whatever that is anything but a rebuild. Who knows how many moves we haven't heard of that got shot down because no self-respecting player would want to play for such a tool.

The first year, firing was never an option. They adore this idiot too much. But he's being given the exact roster he wants. When he continues to fail, it will be exactly his fault. Hook that seat up to a blast furnace.

AHEM

One goal in a must win game at home

Benched two young attacking forwards so he could give extra minutes to grinders

The Torts fanboys can choke on that for six months

 

[Flyerfan4life]

if Frost wants his NHL career to move forward he HAS to get the f*** away from this shit Org.

Frost for Kotkaniemi and 4th?

 

[trostol]

if Torts is coach next year...Frost and Brink are gone...

if the Org was smart..they'd get rid of Torts..trade TK and Laughton and someone else from the D..but I am not sure who

 

[Beef Invictus]

Frost for Kotkaniemi and 4th?

Think dumber

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Think dumber

I mean there was that time when Canes were able to unload Rask for Niedereiter. So something similar perhaps?

 

[scumpup]

get em outta 'ere

raise the banner..

we win again....

 

[Hexxxy]

I've defended torts a lot and blamed the goaltending and PP and at times ice time and usage. The PP is on torts. As is the playing time. This game playing time was an abortion. Indefensible. Would be fireable offense if Montreal won.

"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".

"Defrosted"

 

[Sombastate]

did he ever give an answer for why Frost and Brink never saw the ice in the third?
