I thought he wasn't ready to talk contract. He now has a deadline to not talk contract after which he will not talk contract?

Cam Atkinson said last year that he didn't want to talk contract after camp opened and he was signed by Thanksgiving. Seems like that's what this is. He will listen up to that point, then he wants to focus on playing.

Torts is gonna have to speak "Fancy Stats".

The Blue Jackets' bench boss prefers to track scoring chances for himself instead of relying on metrics like Corsi and Fenwick, which have gained widespread acceptance and are used primarily as a simple way to measure puck possession, shot attempts and scoring chances.

"I'd rather spend time doing that than listening to this crap about the Corsi and the Fenwick, because those stats do not apply," he said.

"I don't care what anybody says in this league, they don't apply to the game of hockey. The scoring chances for is what tells you the story of the individual player and your team concept, as far as what's going on."

I'm still hoping Seth Jones kneels for the anthem so I can watch Torts literally kill one of his own players.

I don't want him to kill anyone anymore. Matt Calvert and Jack Johnson are gone.

And he wouldn't kill Dubinsky. He loves lap dogs.

The Blue Jackets just signed Tortorella to a 2-year extension on his contract. He will be their head coach through at least the 2020-21 season.

He will be under contract until 20-21.

He's about a year past his typical flameout time. So either he's truly mellowed, or this year is gonna require lots of popcorn.

Hey, he's the most successful coach in franchise history. 3 playoff victories! 1 more than his closest rival.

Yeah, I can understand how 43 feels about Tortorella. I would feel the same if he were the Caps' coach, but overall, he's done really well in Columbus. And even if he's not the right "next step" guy, he's probably pretty good for a lot of their young guys.
