lmao

"Torts, what are you wearing???"

 

[dash]

When does Torts go for a physical?

 

[dash]

Just listening to Gillis on Team1040 - Geez, he's such a smug, arrogant asshat.

BMac: Is Torts the new head coach?
Gllis: He's a strong candidate, but we haven't completed the process yet.
BMac: When will you make an annoucement?
Gillis: We'll make an announcement when the process is completed.

Nah Torts isn't that bad. If Gillis wanted a coach to force the players to do that he would hire Mike Keenan.

I think Torts is not as hard ass on the players in the room as we saw on 24/7 Ive seen lots of normal interviews when he discusses players and he is very respectful and very mindful of the setting. he will be fine. but once a reporter gets on his bad side..CRY HAVOC..... and let loose the dogs of war

I agree. Torts will defend his players, but at the same time he'll tell it like it is. Just like he did with Brad Richards & he thinks the world of Richards.

Well the Canucks do need help at that spot.

Hope the twins don't have thin skin.

ummm.... they have had half of the retards in the world thinking that they are hilarious by calling the Sedins "sisters" since they were 18 years old.
I'm sure they can handle a coach with a temper

Obvious guy will say (since this torts hiring iscoming out today) that tippett was the canucks first choice as head coach

yeah, timing on that makes a lot of sense.
coaches with experience were falling off of the table pretty quickly.


still not thrilled with it. but meh - my expectations for next season are pretty low anyways.
I also think this was a Pappa Aquilini hire more than a Gillis hire.

This tweet also made me laugh

So, both teams hire two different coaches at tho different ends of the spectrum. Sadly the league is moving away from Torts end. Good luck John. You were a great coach.
