    Default Tortorella to be fired Thurs

    They just reported on TSN that he will be fired tomorrow.

    Van fans will be happy I assume

    No surprise. It was pretty much expected. Bad season, new President of Hockey Ops in addition. The writing was on the wall for this to go down. I think it's for the best. The Canucks will wipe the slate clean and try to start fresh. I image this will not be the last change this off season in Vancouver. You can bet some roster moves will be made too, significant moves.

    And if we're all sick of it, how do you think the players under him feel? I'm sure Linden sat down with a lot of the players (he played with some of them ffs) and they didn't hold back.

    yup very true man, I'm sure they went on a rant or two
    I just never understood the move in the first place, why would you go a complete 180 in terms of coaching style? Honestly the Canucks needed to clean house across all management and start from scratch with people that know wtf they're doing

    I felt the same way when I heard it - the complete polar opposite of AV (who I really like).

    They need to clean house with some of the roster too. What happens with Kesler, Edler?

    Oh my god - Torts and Luongo on the same panel...I don't know if that would be great or torture to watch. Duthie would be foaming at the mouth...

    If the hockey gods have to have any kind of sense of humour, this will happen.

    Look for the Panthers to sign Torts pronto
    Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.

    LOL, I love it!

    Torts and Luo would probably be fine and the young core could actually develop off of the discipline that Torts believes in.
