First of all, that should be a question.
Secondly, I think its a terrible move mainly because he had a gritty team with high-end skill and one of the best goaltenders in the NHL in New York and managed to coach them into the ground.
Too much grinding and demanding too much out of his players. Sure, maybe it'll work in Vancouver but I sincerely doubt it.
Hes coming from a team that went out of the playoffs because its powerplay was pathetic and they couldnt score goals and going to a team that went out of the playoffs because their powerplay was pathetic and couldnt score goals....
Problem solved.....?  |
Did you actually bother to point out the lack of a ? ?
Everything else you wrote is far from problem solving, and is simply cherry picking of opinions (not even facts) that support the argument for why it's a bad move. I don't have a problem with that, that's what we are all doing on this board, giving our opinion, but the bottom line, Torts wins more games as a coach then he loses, so I'm surprised at how excited everyone is to see him come to Vancouver.
Far too much hating cause it's the Nucks and hating cause Torts is a polarizing figure going on IMO. This may not end up being a good fit, but the Nucks just hired a very successful coach with a pretty good NHL track record.
