Confirmed with Link: John Tortorella Has Been Fired and the subsequent coaching search

[Dalagaze]

Definitely shocked. I didn't think it would happen this season.

I just said the same thing to my friend

 

[0ddManRush]

Not shocked by the move. It was necessary.

Not a clue who they have in mind, but a change was needed.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Now we just need a good replacement, and I'll be ecstatic — no Lindy Ruff.

Haha. Dream on, desperado.

This has "players" want him out written all over it.

 

[UnderPSI]

I was a huge Torts supporter but it needed to be done. Started to get tired of his terrible "system"

Hmmm... Ruff or AV? Sully?

What a joke of a franchise. Just last year when things were finally looking up we stupidly trade for Nash and now stupidly fire a top coach. Great. I can only imagine trading Hank to the CBJs for the rest of their team (except the former NYRs) is the next move. Because the CBJs have been awesome for years.

Who they bring in will be very interesting... If it's Lindy I'll be shocked Part II

 

[stranger34]

[SA16]

Woo!

Sather press conference @ 2:15pm

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

Lundy totally asked for this.

 

[Thirty One]

I'll be happy if they hire a guy that talks about puck possession more than balls and jam. If they hire a guy from the old guard I think they might as well have stayed put.

When did the NHL turn into the NBA? Country club atmosphere sucks and it's why we'll suck.

 

[rangers1314]

This is for you, Hank.

Bad move, we'll pay for it. Just watch

 

[haohmaru]

I guess Henrik has a lot of pull, eh? Wow. Stunned.

 

[nyrpassion]

I'm thinking our new coach will be the Vancouver old coach, Alain Vigneault . DO NOT WANT Ruff.

 

[NYRKING30]

Wtf?!!??

 

[NYR Viper]

My guess, more changes are coming down the pipeline.

 

[Dalagaze]

Let's see what Sather says before celebrating. If we get AV I will cry.

 

[dmjt4160]

holy ****

I am so nervous right now

 

[Greg02]

Haha. Dream on, desperado.

It seems to me some fine things have been laid upon his table, but he only wants the ones that he can't get.
