So ...that was interesting ...

 

[elocomotive]

hey Caps, leave our Trotz alone!

@JSportsnet 3h
While David Poile wouldn't comment, can confirm that the Washington Capitals have been in communication with Trotz.

I'd think any team with a vacancy would at least be talking to Trotz.

Coincidentally, the Caps also have season tickets available for the first time in years.

coles notes

- Torts wanted Burrows bought out (WOW)
- Players unhappy for amount of practices (they were not having ENOUGH practices and that they believed the coach didn't care about practicing enough)
- Torts never looked at Video of the teams they were facing
- Torts had a bad relationship with the AHL team coach (no communication at all)
- Team meeting, Booth showed up early, Torts gave Booth shit for being late. Booth said he was early and Torts yelled at him. (fucking weird)


Torts may have been the worst coach we have ever ha..... wait we had Keenan.

The attempt to convince ownership to buy out burrows was surprising

The david booth team meeting story is just staggering lol

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I dont think the relationship with travis green was categorized as bad ... More like no relationship at all lol

Didnt talk to him once

yeah that booth made me laugh out loud. I guess that was before he made the strange dude comments lol

I can imagine what he was doing


- so ... we need a player Sully.
- Sully looks at NHL 14 AHL stats "I think Jensen is still playing for us, he has great STATS"
- Torts "What the fuck Sully, be professional"
- Sully "You got it Coach right...." Checks HockeyDB.com... hmm "fuck they look ... "ok"
- Torts "Call em up"
- Sully "We are playing Calgary"
- Torts "STOP FUCKING EVERYTHING. GET ME MEAT"
- Sully "Archibald"
- Torts "tough name... do it"

I think the quote that was the rattler was when Trevor said that Shanny wasn't happy with some people within the organization

Benning had a second interview with Canucks this week I'm assuming his is pretty much done? Just number crunching?

 

[dash]

TSNBobMcKenzie: Linden has continued to interview others but Benning's interview reportedly went well. He remains leading candidate for GM, at this point.

 

[puckhead]

good article on the General Manager shuffle
(Nucks/Pens content)

Botchford: The plot thickens over whether Jim Benning is still main man as Canucks new GM

 

[mattola]

NHL on TSN ‏@NHLonTSN 51s
According to @DarrenDreger, expect the Vancouver Canucks to name Jim Benning as their new GM later this week. Hiring a coach will follow.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

and trotz as coach?
