Tortorella most disliked coach in the NHL

[EdmFlyersfan]

According to this article Torts is the coach players would least likely want to play for, and it's not even close between him and the next coach on the list.

NHL Players Take a Shot at John Tortorella and Mike Babcock in Recent Player Poll

Every season, the Athletic releases polls where they survey NHL players asking them various questions about the state of the league. Typically, we get a couple of polls like this every year.

...and in other news, Water may actually be moist, new survey says...

I wonder which roster the 7.69% of Cronin voters are on

[Pablo El Perro]

Checks out. And why is Babcock an option? Seems like the poll is trying to minimize the dislike for Torts.

 

[Voight]

Honestly I bet you very few if any of his former players voted for him in this poll. The general consensus seems to be that players love playing for him.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Poll sponsored by Mike Babcock and he still got 7.69% of the vote.

“IM TIRED OF US GETTING WORKED IN OUR END ZONE!”

With only 93, it wouldn't take many to distort that poll.

I'd like to see a bigger percentage of players before I'd take too much stock in it. Obviously it shows something and a trend, but around 10 percent isn't enough to make me think it's gospel.

Except for all those who didn't

 

[Breakers]

Bro ain’t NO WAY Babcock is that low.

I don’t believe it.

Absolutely trash survey

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Is the survey sample comprised only of current Philadelphia Flyers?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Bro ain’t NO WAY Babcock is that low.

I don’t believe it.

Absolutely trash survey

He isn't still coaching.

What? No Darryl Sutter?

Players are soft these days and can't take a little well meaning constructive criticism.

Yea I’m confused by these results, except I remember players kept voting Price the best goalie years after his prime because he was a name they know


I’ve heard multiple places Torts is liked, including a deep drive article looking into why players kept leaving CBJ. Players defended him

I was looking for Keenan. He made Hull serve a penalty.

93 players of approximately 750 available population is a consequential sample size of ~12% which is a completely acceptable, and standard, percentage when it comes to population surveys. In fact, the recommended baseline is only 10%.

If there's any flaw to this poll, I would think it's including coaches (Babcock) who aren't even active NHL coaches as they're not really an option. Would be interesting to see where his votes get distributed to.

Don't tell us how about statistics.

I'm pretty sure Huberdeau would have voted for Sutter if he was asked.
Nothing more embarrassing than telling everyone that Huby had to leave the game to take a shit. Sutter being Sutter.

Hubey has had some pretty shitty coaches, if we're getting fecal. And I'm not talking about Sutter.

cronin only being a second year HC and being that high on the list is pretty impressive

Let's retroactively poll players about Scottie Bowman. Or, let's see which coaches players like the most and see how accomplished they are. We'll call it the Laine curve.
