Torts had godly goal-tending, the best line in the league, and a solid back-end when he won his ring, so no surprise there.
I understand what you're saying... but it also opens another point.
Canucks didn't have godly goaltending, nor the best line in the league, so it's no wonder Torts didn't have the pieces to utilize.

I simply don't like putting the blame on just one guy when it was a combination of reasons for the failed season.
