Tribute The Official "Fire Tortorella" Thread

[Philly Fanatik]

Tortorella is going to be detrimental to the Philly organization.
The dude should be shown the door before the start of the regular season next year!
If he has any say or thought process on the rebuild going forward…the Flyers will be in shambles for another 10-15 years.

The whole conversation about performance-depressing drugs in the Miscellaneous NHL thread started an idea in my head, so I had to write it out, and this seems like the right place for it. With apologies to Harry Warren, Jack Brooks, and Dean Martin:

When you don't hit the ice
'cause your coach isn't nice, Tortorella.
When the style you play
was old "back in the day", Tortorella.
Guys complain, this prick is a pain
driving us insane, yet again out of luck there,
His whole bit is tired as shit
Someone's gonna sit, won't play in their home town sir. Motherf***er.

It's been too goddamned long
since the team's come on strong, Tortorella.
We don't know what to do
since Chuck stuck us with you, whiny prick.
Now we all have a dream
that you'll f*** off and leave us, signore
We'll eject you with force
Go get kicked by a horse, Tortorella!

I was told players like being treated like shit

 

[Don Nachbaur 26]

Bring on Dave Carle, but keep Shaw around.

 

[ponder719]

Bring on Dave Carle, but keep Shaw around.

At this point, I'd take Matt Carle.

 

[Curufinwe]

Bring on Dave Carle, but keep Shaw around.

And have Carle convince Buium to demand to be traded to Philly for Luchanko + a 3rd.

 

[BringBackFletcher]

And have Carle convince Buium to demand to be traded to Philly for Luchanko + a 3rd.

Carle just talked himself out of any potential of a job in Philly.

York will be gone this summer

 

[Embiid]

Tort's is such a petty douchebag...

 

[Tarpongg]

The WORST possible coach for a young team. He just ran off two of the young forwards with any kind of skill, is constantly at odds with Michkov, York on the outs, Andrae gets sent down despite being a top 4 on this team, has publicly undressed Brink (who probably has PTSD). This is how we nurture young talent in Philadelphia.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It’s all just so tiresome.

 

[trostol]

And of course...people defending Torts

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The man told us to our faces when he was hired that he A) doesn’t understand the offensive side of the game and B) doesn’t know how to communicate with today’s athletes.

The Flyers: "You're hired!"

 

[Appleyard]

I get the vibe he might retire after this season...

Clarke was giddy when they hired him because he knows Torts treats skill like shit. This has to be his final season because it’s looking more and more that he is getting tuned out by the players. Just look at TK.

I’ve been saying that for a while now.

I’m nearly certain that’s the whole plan and it’s the worst possible thing that can happen. Maximum Pain

The best possible thing at this point would be for him to stay on next year and hope the organization realizes how shit he is so they can jettison every part of him.

Sadly, we’re looking at him bowing out before they can come to that realization because he won’t coach on the last year of his deal. He’ll get to hand pick his successor as an advisor in the front office.

There’s always a new bottom.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I think Briere will get to hire his guy( well on the surface it will look like that) and when that guy fails Briere will be looking for a job. I don’t think they fire him without him having a handpicked coach

 

[ajgoal]

Every player with an ounce of upside, this guy wrecks.

 

[trostol]

Lappy will be promoted won't he

 

[Magua]

Bob Murray, Dean Lombardi, and John Tortorella advising GM Danny Briere and President Keith Jones for years to come sounds like a new circle of Hell. It can always get worse is what the last decade has taught me.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Lappy will be promoted won't he

He was probably promised it before Briere was hired

 

[mize370]

Shaw will probably become coach and keep his buddy Rocky too lol
