I'm glad Torts isn't on the Rangers any longer. He's both a good coach and a total prick, and now that he's not in the Big Apple I don't have to A) watch the Rangers beat us repeatedly, and B) listen to every word that smug sonuvabitch says, since nobody in the media cares about the (former) Western Conference anyway.

TBH I actually think this asshat will do wonders for that team. He will last a few years and the team will improve then like everywhere else the players will tune him out.

This is kind of shocking to me. Seems like such an odd juxtaposition.

If you told me two years ago that Boudreau, Ruff, and Torts would all be coaching in the Western Conference in two years time, I would have thought you were off your rocker.

Canucks: Naslund gives thumbs-up to Tortorella

well he should know after playing 28 games for Torts. I also love one of the radio interviews last week of a player that played for Torts when Torts was an Assistant back in 98.......

sigh

That was the Doug Bodger interview right? I think Doug might have been sampling some of his Cowichan Valley product during the segment.

so he was ALL positive about Torts?

I dont think he did anything more than a few seconds clip. I have not heard many come out that played for him in a lot of games and were all cheery.

bottom line for me is... he can be the biggest prick for 364 days but on that 365th day this team better be getting some god damn stanley cup rings

He said he loved playing for him (demanding, but you always knew where you stood with him).

TSNBobMcKenzie: VAN will introduce John Tortorella as head coach at 1 pm PT tomorrow.

Chris Higgins approves of this hire.
