Confirmed with Link: Canucks announce John Tortorella as Head Coach

[Tiranis]

Anyone to post anything unrelated to the coaching discussion will find themselves on the wrong end of the infraction functionality of this site. Seriously. (Why? Because apparently people didn't read my warning in the other thread.)

Guessing this gets announced on Tuesday

Waiting for Tuesday.

I'm just curious about the assistants and whether Torts will try and bring along Sullivan or not. (And whether Gillis would even let him?) Wonder how long it will take them to sort that out.

Also a bit curious on whether we'll hear what the contract is. Want to see how it compares to what AV got. (Maybe it'll even be the exact same deal...)

My guess is a 12yr/64 mill deal for Tortz.

I'm also very interested to see the choices for assistant coaches. It will make or break this team. I just hope they have enough common sense to put Mr. Garrison on the point of the first pp unit.

Why would we put a guy with a great shot on the point for the PP? I'd like to see a Tanev/Ballard pairing so nobody would get hurt by the puck.

I'm good with Torts for the sake of change. Perhaps having a coach as our lightning rod may take some media garbage off the players.

Waiting for Tuesday.

The anticlimacticness of this is riveting.

 

[Intoewsables]

Every time I see someone say "Tortz", I think it says "Trotz". This is confusing.

 

[Archangel]

very good move

 

[No Face No Case]

Best available, hold them accountable, brings intensity and entertainment value.
Great 2-3 year move by Gillis and the Aqualinis.
That being said Gillis needs to make some trades and get some big, bad ***** into the lineup.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Every time I see someone abbreviate his name as "Tortz", I think it says "Trotz".

Not to sure why Tortz is used instead of the Torts, If he was Australian it would be Torto, or in New Zealsnd Tortsy

How ever he is not sooooooo

Why Tuesday and not tomorrow?

Why Tuesday and not tomorrow?

Game 6 tomorrow

 

[Addison Rae]

Pretty excited for Thursday, want to see where Torts thinks the teams at.

 

[Jack Tripper]

what's the consensus on sullivan as an assistant? reading the rangers board it seemed as though there was as much antagonism towards him as there was on this board towards bowness and brown late last season...

I wonder if Stevens would accept a job as an assistant. Would he leave LA for that? Doubtful but that would be a great addition.

I've never really understood pages upon pages of speculation. Why not just wait and see what will happen?

900 posts of guessing what Tortz will do, how the players will act, what the team will play like. I mean, why not just wait?

Don't see any reason for him to leave LA for anything less than a head coaching role.

This is a message board, the reason for it's existence is to discuss hypothetical situations.

Just curious for future reference, but in regards to the video that was removed from this thread, was it done so because of its profanity or source? Wondering if that source is now off-limits for YT links.

In before Torts wins the cup next year.

 

[Hammer79]

AV got 5 years, $10 million. Will Tortorella get the same?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Torts gets this team a Cup before the room tunes him out and he'll be revered as a legend here.
