CoachX

good post. and yes, i was asking you directly, although I appreciate everyone else who answered So you're not saying Torts will fail because he a bad coach, but becasue the team is just beyond repair

Interesting point. The internet has llowed so much information, it has tainted my like for the team. I liked it better when I neve rknew who the GM was, what teh cap situation was, or who the front office toolbags were....in other words, the 70's and 80's

Great post. Thanks

Why do you think Tortorella wiil fail, and does he HAVE to deliver a cup for it to be a success?

So you arent a Flyer fan, youre a Flyer hater. it all make sense now

Yep, that answers my question. We can now see if you are right

Better than wanting everything to fail just so you can say I told you so

Why?

I love this story. It read like Davey Scott told Bobby, Paul and Chuckie to "shut up and color, I'll handle this"

Why should he be left out....somewhere AV is singing "how you like me now"?

he better have a lot.otherwise,why hire the guy?

okay...GFY!

The Flyers misunderstood this. They thought they needed the players to develop the coach I guess you could say Lappy is a "development coach", he just won't develop

well done! BRAVO!

something to look forward to. management loves Risto. Why? WTF knows. Torts hate that kind of player. Funny they will hire a guy whos directly opposite of them

If this happens, its a success win-win for us

2nd winningest American Coach in NH history, 2x Coach of the year, SC champion, 12 playoff appearances in 20 seasons NHL considers him a good coach. Im sure we forum fans know better though With TB: 1st year, 5th place 2nd, 3rd place 3rd, 1st place 4th, 1st place, SC Got better every season leading up to SC. Looks like pure luck to me. Im sure coaching had nothing to do with it

really? objectively, you are saying the guy can't coach?

You know, this is really a good point. There isn't a player on the current roster that matters to me. I havent seen enough of the young guys to have an opinion, and all the veterans are only capable of reaching "good" status. Change is a good thing

NBC sports is reporting that the Flyers are offering Tortis a contract. Im on board with this guy. I dont care about his brash personality. This team needs a foot in the a$$ This is just a hope...A HOPE PEOPLE!.... if they sign a guy with this reputation and style, I hope they keep their noses out of his business and let him do his thing. Im HOPING this is an indication that management is finally going to go in another direction, one that holds players accountable. Now go out get players who can perform for a coach like this and jettison the wussies....I see you JVR

So is NBC sports

REPORTED!

@FD19372 That's why I'm saying it'll be torts

I think Trotz is the domino. Vegas is off the table, he will decide soon, then Torts will take over the Flyers

Nope. Not happening
