Tribute The Official "Fire Tortorella" Thread

[Shrike]

A lot of things need to happen in the Flyer’s organization before I watch another game. Signing Russian players ain’t one of them. Firing the entirety of the coaching staff in Philly and Lehigh is one of them.

Torts hit the 100 loss/OTL/SOL mark last night. He's now 70-75-25 as coach of the Flyers.

Still think this team will find a way to keep him around even if they fire him. However, I think he is here all year.

We know how this "wash" "cycle" will go....

Start off slow....experience a few hot streaks to make them look respectable.....fizzle out bc of overwork and lack of talent thus ruining our draft position...

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Need Clarke and Holmgren to stage a coup to get rid of the coach.

 

[NYCFlyer]

I don't think Torts is the real problem. We have no backup goalie, really weak at center and mediocre at best on D. They play hard for him and i still think Shaw can help develop the D. I would replace Lehigh though with someone who can develop players.

 

[Curufinwe]

Torts can't coach offense and the team can't score.

The ONLY hope we have is if he becomes useful and decides to go save animals full time.

This clown has no concept of how to coach in the current NHL or hire assistants to help him.

 

[Striiker]

Don’t even get excited about the day he’s no longer coach. That’ll just mean he’s been moved up to management.

Need Clarke and Holmgren to each stage coups of each other

The Flyers were 34-26-8 on 3/19 when Torts decided to impulsively scratch his newly appointed captain, Sean Couturier.

Since then their record is 5-12-4

Something tells me it had more to do with Ersson melting down after Hart left.
So far this year, (GA - xGA)/60:
Ersson +0.85
Fedotov +2.26
So while they need to score more, if the goalies don't play better, they're not going anywhere.

Message from Torts to all his players:

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Torts can't coach offense and the team can't score.

They're pretty one dimensional. Good teams can switch up their playstyles to take advantage of what's available. A team devoted to one kind of offense can't do that. Tortorella's North-South religion that looks poorly upon cross ice passing is easy to lock down, especially when there's no risk of anything else happening. They're being completely smothered. Opposing teams know from prior years where the passing lanes are and where they have to be to cover them. They've been dead right so far, and nothing is being done to throw new looks.

Well, aside from benching the few players who have some capability to play the way they need to.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Yes.
