Something Tortorella said stuck with me during his Dubois redemption tour. That he lets the assistant coaches handle X's and O's, his job is to understand the team and the players and get the most out of them.
No doubts ward is a good x and o guy, but this team leaves you screaming for more effort and give a crap and he just may not be the guy to do it. Might be why he has been a valued assistant/associate for so long.
