Short term wise, Torts will be okay, long term wise, no thanks
Wouldn't be surprised if he would start alienating certain players/kicking them to the curb after a season or two, lots of players will be scared of him which might be good I guess..
He isn't shy to bench, or call players out who are sucking balls though

Canucks post game interviews between the coach and reporters would be much more interesting if the ESPN report about Torts is true.
If any reporter dares to ask Torts a stupid question, he will give him an earful
of $&@!. It would be Torts and Larry Brooks, Vancouver edition. Posted via RS Mobile

Now that PIT has extended Malkin (8 yrs/$76M), Letang is next up altho Pens GM Shero and agent Kent Hughes have not started discussions yet.
I don't see Torts as our coach happening. Doesn't seem to mesh with Gillis' philosphies and he's awful with the media, as we saw with NYR. The Aquilini's and Gillis care much about the Canucks brand, and I don't see Torts being a good representation of that. Looks like Ruff interviewed yesterday, do not want him either.

Sounds like Lindy Ruff interviewed in Vancouver on Wednesday.
