I agree 100%.

TSN has Gillis interviewing Torts for the Nucks HC job.
I would love watching that team implode if they do hire him.

That will be a spectacular train wreck!

Torts and Vancouver would be an entertaining mix.. but part of me is a little scared he could get that team to play to its potential.

I think he'd throw the entire team under the buss and they'd just cry about it. He is not a good fit there at all IMO.

Let's hope it happens....

Not a chance. A team that has a miserable will to compete in the playoffs combined with inability ton score and a poor powerplay in the playoffs? Not a good fit.

I'm willing to take that risk
