no no.

its o ok.

cool man you don't have to explain your self man

Well no shit :lol

After 2 years of being bounced in the first round and averaging 1 goal a game, change is needed.

O ok

inb4 this entire page is filled with "ok"

Back to topic. Aside from the media "saying" how Torts isn't a good hire like Ed Willes article. Maybe we should take a look at Torts behind the interviews/cameras.

It's pathetic how scared all the media are of torts

Scared... I don't think I've ever read a positive review of Torts...

Who cares about reviews. Just look back at the teams he coached and their system.

I don't mind his blue collar style approach. North-south, no fancy pants bull shit.

It doesn't matter, Canucks are finished. Torts is just going to be a transitional coach.

The media are all against him coming here because of the way he treats THEM when have you ever heard a fan complain about a team winning games? 95% of fans don't give a shit if a coach doesn't give reasoning behind sitting a player for the third period, that will be forgotten the day after

The media just puts together this big storm because the coach gave them nothing to write about, big deal

And I gotta laugh at all these clowns phoning in saying "I've been a life long Canucks fan but with torts I'm done" yea I'm sure your fandom really extende deep if a coaching change for a team that can't make it past the first round is the breaking point..

This pic is Photoshopped of course but it shows the perspective of how high the water reached in the saddle dome. Good thing the Flames sucked this year lol

what i find even more funny is people pledging allegiance to a team at all. unless you live in those small towns where its a one horse town and the community has nothing else to bond over about. but then again, that is pretty funny too

concept of loyalty? give me a break this, this would be loyalty to something you pay money towards. not a Rothschild blood line

its a fucking commercial franchise. similar to opening up your own KFC around the block

Is Calgary going to be fixed by chasing summer :whistle:

lol @ people thinking players/media are afraid of Torts.

The media will be absolutely LICKING THEIR CHOPS if he's hired. The soundbites are going to be nonstop and there are sure to be some sparks flying with certain members of the media.

Should make for some good entertainment for us fans.

Yeah, not sure where anyone is getting the idea that the media is "scared" of Torts. It's their job, if anything they're excited for the new change.

lol'd hard

Barclays Center is set up for hockey, and it's weird (PHOTO) - NHL - Sporting News

Hockey looking nasty in Brooklyn if they don't change it back to standard stadium seating.

How did they design an arena without thinking of hockey? Aren't hockey and basketball the only sports played under a roof? C'mon New York...

But it doesn't matter since no one watches the Islanders.

the Islanders have a good future since last season

So who else is wondering why it is taking so long for the announcement to be made if the contract was already offered and Torts is in town?

Because its not a done deal til there's ink on the paper?

They've had 24 hours to put ink to paper

Took awhile for AV to sign the contract after he was announced the new coach IIRC
