Al torterella strikes again (2 Viewers)

Here is the bottom line on Torts. The team that made the ECF was tailored to him perfectly. That is why we were able to grind our way to wins. Last seasons team was changed by Sather to have more skill. Thus it was no longer tailored to Torts, and he cannot/did not bend at all, so the team struggled.

This seasons team is a mish mosh of players. Not suited for AV's style. Not suited for Torts' style.

That's why this summer is huge. We have the space to make this an AV team fully. That is why next season will be the really telling season for AV IMO. In theory he and Sather should work hand and hand to make this an AV suited team next season. Just like it was a Torts suited team two seasons ago. The biggest knock you can make is saying why did you take a Torts team and make it a not Torts suited team last season? And then expect a coach like Torts to do well. That's the knock you can make. The knock on Torts is he did not bend or adapt to his players, which is what good coaches do. So it was the perfect storm really.

I agree with everything you said. I still think he got shafted by not having a full training camp to work ganby and nash together. Throw I'm Richards not showing up all year = fired coach.

Gabby was a prima dona and had to be moved. Alex The Great was told to switch wings and he took it like a man and found ways to score. Pussy Gabby cried...I cant play the opposite wing. That was done to strengthen the team, a coaching decision, but it was the player acting selfish and being apussy.

No one was complaing about the deal during the playoffs when the only player who seemed to show up was Brassard. Everyone had high hopes that Moore would make Del Zotto expendable. Funny how fast opinions change.

I wish we had a couple of more "Pussies" that could score over 40 goals.

Wow Al is drinking the Torts koolaid by the pitcher still

Anyone think Lundqvist would have signed a 7 year contract if bonehead dinosaur Torts was still coach? I dont
