Tribute The Official "Fire Tortorella" Thread

[Beef Invictus]

We'll see. Where did I read that part of the reason Torts got dumped in CBJ was that he wanted to move into management and Jarmo said no way. I can see him moving into a Senior Advisor to the President role, working with Jones. They could restructure the $8M they owe him over a longer period and keep him on. They don't want to fire him, but he's really not the guy for the job long term. 5 or 6 more years of this? Pass and I think Danny thinks so too.

I have no doubt this is what he wants, and I am also sure it's what was wanted by the Cronyarchy when he was hired, but this guy poisons every well he drinks from everywhere he goes. If our esteemed management group had been paying attention to anything but the distinct fragrance of their rectal offgassings, they maybe might have noticed that instead of being super excited about how abusive he'll be to all these spoiled young no-good players.

you best buckle in..

Torts is moving to a position above DB and Jones..


they can give him any title they want. but Torts isnt moving into management to be anyones underling

Which is why, like in Columbus, Briere and Jones will torpedo him with Hilferty.

Really baffled that Torts would think the Flyers practice patronage....

That's because he's a terrible human being with the emotional intelligence of a sewer lid.

Yep, such a terrible guy

While I do think dogs are much more valuable lifeforms than humans, his treatment of dogs doesn't negate the fact that he treats the human beings around him like shit.

Is there another coach who gets as many fans of other teams commenting on him than Tortorella?

 

[BritainStix]

Torts isn't a terrible human being. He's just an asshole. He has been his entire life.

Everyone who doesn't have to deal with him loves him.

You guys are looking at it all wrong. TORTS just wanted Frost and Sanheim to be able to enjoy the game with their families.

Why does he get away with decided not to coach for quite a few games last season and for refusing to do press conferences? I don’t know about anyone else on this board, but I don’t get to pick and choose which rules/procedures to follow at work. I have to follow them all or I’ll be out of a job. I cannot imagine being such an egomaniac to think that the rules don’t apply to me and that I can do whatever I want. This “accountability for thee and not for me” shtick is obnoxious.

Fire Tortorella!

Every time Torts mistreats a player an angel chops off its own wings. However, Bob Clarke gets a boner so Torts is going nowhere and the angels are f***ed.

 

[renberg]

The Couturier mess might have been one bridge too far with the players. Tortorella has jacked around too many players over the last two seasons. If he’s lost the room, it would be no surprise. We’ll have to wait until TC in the fall to see if the guys are still willing to go along with his stuff. If not, and it’ll show pretty quick, Tortorella could be an early season fire.

 

[TheKingPin]

he’s got issues for sure but do we have a good replacement in mind?

 

[3mFlyers]

This Coots stuff is silly. He was playing too much early, wore down/got injured. Now he is just trying to get through the season. Nothing against him, I'm sure he is giving everything he has. He missed a whole year.

 

[gto64dr]

As I read these posts I believe many have missed the mark on the Flyers downfall. Don't get me wrong I do like Briere. But, think the downfall began with the Walker trade and the injuries to Seeler and Risto. Add to that trading Gauthier for an injury prone prospect. Taking out the three defenseman that actually were better than thought. Gauthier should have been left to rot. This isn't High School sports. Your Drafted you play or rot. Trace back the defense that actually kept us in most of the games. GAA have tanked. I'll never understand trading proven defenseman for pie in the sky.

FIRE the worst PP Coach the NHL has seen. What an ANCHOR!
