Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I liked it initially because I thought we'd get the fire filled screaming angry torts to put the boys in shape. Instead we got some sieve. I was willing to try it out but had my doubts. Torts hasn't been a screamer for a couple of seasons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Svoboda_3 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Torts hasn't been a screamer for a couple of seasons now. Just at the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 He also hasn't be fired so "It Ends tonight" is a little premature Sandro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandro 251 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 did anyone like the Torts hiring originally? Not me. Then he did his presser and I warmed up to it a bit, I liked him throughout the first half of the season but now we're seeing the worst case scenario that many predicted prior to the season so... Get him the fuck outta here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro 251 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 He also hasn't be fired so "It Ends tonight" is a little premature Sandro. Well the season ends tonight. Probably the last game he coaches here as well. So technically, it still sort of ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of yes with the season, but from listening to Linden it didn't sound like he was so sure on removing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munk 1,298 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 How stupid does one human being have to be to make that hit? Byron has the intelligence of fucking budgie. But Sedin turned his back. Byron barely nudged him :'3 Hope Sedin is okay, at least they have a spare! JUST KIDDING THAT'S AWFUL, really do hope he is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro 251 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 On the bright side, the Canucks will finish the season with a win for the first time since 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 On the bright side, the Canucks will finish the season with a win for the first time since 2006. Also finishing above .500 and having the 6th overall pick aint a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastOlympian07 2,388 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 He was struggling in a major way to follow the puck and the play, and constantly over commits getting himself out of position. It was honestly painful watching him, it's not like he's aware of where the puck is and he's just getting beat. Half the time he hasn't got a clue where it is and leaves the net wide open, this game could have been 9-2 if it wasn't for the defense -- as shitty as they were -- clearing the puck or tying up their man. The kid needs serious work if he wants to be just a backup in the NHL. i never watched the game but this was 1 game. he sat for the better part of months, 18 games straight was it not? thats a lot of action missed. as they won tonight with him in net was he any better not that he got the feel for the game today?

Sandro 251 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Also finishing above .500 and having the 6th overall pick aint a bad thing. 36-35-11 isn't really .500 tbh. 10 more losses than wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandro 251 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Torts firing shots at Hartley post-game, fucking awesome. I'll admit, if he's fired I will miss his pressers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Ovechkin8 262 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 But Sedin turned his back. Byron barely nudged him :'3 Hope Sedin is okay, at least they have a spare! JUST KIDDING THAT'S AWFUL, really do hope he is okay. His back was turned from the beginning of the play. Bryon had a good 2 seconds riding his back and ended up two handing him with his stick in the air not even in the pay. Im sure he wasn't trying to injure him but like come on man, the guys back is to you what do you achieve by pushing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandro 251 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 WHOA. Mount Torts just about blew, he said "I gotta get outta here" and took off before he could say anything really bad. He is fucking pissed off at Hartley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandro 251 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Torts on what happened to a successful group, "I felt from day one its stale"... "we need to stop talking about 2011" Holy shit, Torts is the only one in the damn organization that gets it. EDIT: Well Torts' pressers are always good. What's weird is how half the shit he says contradicts the stuff he actually does, it's infuriating. Edited April 14, 2014 by Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxy 26 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I think it's a major loss if you actually at how ridiculously young this team is, any veteran presence will help in the playoffs and he has been to a stanley cup final Naw, Malone's a plug. Overpaid bum who I'd be extremely happy if Tampa cut. He was just clogging up the first line taking a spot away from someone who deserves it more. They've got plenty of veteran presence in Filps, Carle, Brewer, Purcell, Crombeen, Callahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Baozi 1,658 Posted April 14, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2014 Are the caps going to go hard in for Trotz? Someone that has lots of structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins 3,618 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Lol Trotz for Washington? I think they need to go back to an offensive coach and he is like the most defensive ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Lol Trotz for Washington? I think they need to go back to an offensive coach and he is like the most defensive ever. This. I can see Trotz getting a lot of looks from teams who employ a defensive scheme. Trotz would work well in Edmonton as a developer of the younger guys, but offensively he wouldn't work. In Washington, you can bet Ovechkin would hate that. I think he should be in New Jersey. It's just too bad Peter is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Baozi 1,658 Posted April 14, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) But he has the reputation for bringing out the best in players and making them play a team game. You don't think that will factor into it? I mea Ovie hated Hunter but Laich or something said they had their best playoff hockey under him.
