Torts nominated for Jack Adams

[Toe Pick]

Surprised there is no thread on this.

He’s up against Cassidy (Boston) and Vigneault (Philly).

Gonna sound like a homer but this is Tort’s to lose and I’m excited to see the league take notice of the job he’s done this year. Injuries, offseason losses, green goalies, etc.

Personally I didn’t think they had a chance this year but I did not give Torts enough credit to adapt the style of play to his lineup. Helluva job.

I honestly figured it was going to be between him and Sullivan, and yet Sullivan isn't even a finalist. So, yeah.

Never been so happy to be so thoroughly wrong on something (or someone) ever in my life.

Philly was on a wicked stretch when the season came to stop

I'd guess Vigneault wins, followed by Torts a close second

 

[Byrral]

Seems to me like Torts beat out Sullivan for a spot. Torts did a great job this year but this is not his.

Cassidy
Torts
Vigneault

If he wins, this will make him part of The Addams Family

 

[Fro]

I think AV wins, but will be very happy if Torts does

Remember all that early season doom, gloom and panic..

I hate the idea of this "late season PO". I think the NHL should had folded on the season back in March/April. Our guys guys would heal, get lots of rest and more.

It would be nice to see Torts win it, if he does, he would be the 2nd coach to get 3. Not bad for a dinosaur, especially being that the last 2 would be since 2017. I am sure he, like all of us, would much rather get the cup. I think he is past individual awards.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

He's certainly worthy of the nomination.

As far as arguing who deserves it, one would have to remember when the season in question was played. Outside of my memory range.

Are you, though?

You did f*** up though, there's definitely a few "Fire Torts" threads that this would have been a good 'bump' on...

But Sady, the guys HAVE healed and rested...now get ready for more.

If we cant bring back Boomer for the playoffs because of Weinstein and Epstein, how about....

Kind of an odd list. I figured Torts would be on it, he deserves it. But not sure about AV or Cassidy. I get Boston is the best team in the league and Philly is a very good team, but I think Travis Green, Rick Bowness, and even John Sullivan were more worthy to be on the list. But oh well, good for Torts, even if he doesn't win (I think he should) its quite a testament to him as a coach.

My vote goes to AV for sure.
Columbus has been pretty consistent for awhile and Torts deserves a lot of credit for maintaining the success after Panarin left, but AV really unlocked the Flyers after the first month or so of the regular season.

I don't think he deserves the award. Though we won a playoff series this year, the playoffs were 24 teams and we once again failed to make it past the Conference Quarterfinals.

If anything, he should be fired.

You've got to be kidding right? Fire the coach that made a team that lost Bob, Panarin and Duchene in the offseason and had by far the most amount of man games lost to injury, into a competitive team that won a play in round and was very competitive against Tampa? You think Torts is to blame for that?

It's times like these I wish there was a "Dislike" button.

I was agreeing with him, it wasn't his post I wanted to dislike. I see now that wasn't clear.

Face it we're never gonna get deeper in the postseason if we don't change coaches.

And here I thought Mike Milbury was the stupidest man in hockey. Either its a competence issue or your last 2 posts are an attention-seeking troll job.
