Oh man, now all we need is Carlyle fired and Toronto to pick up Torts to finish the cycle.

I'm just a total piece of shit and I'm not sure why I keep posting on this site. Christ, I have spent years with idiots giving me bad advice about online dating and haven't noticed that the thread I'm in selects for people that can't talk to people worth a damn.

Trotz won't work for this team. SJS need to lose so we can get McLellan. He's a great coach.

We just tried a rigid, defence first coach and it lasted exactly one year. The team was incredibly successful emulating a Detroit style possession system, of with Todd McLellan is a dilligent pupil.

Trotz did a great job without a great deal to work with in Nashville, but I don't think he's the right person to coach an uptempo attacking style for a disillusioned fanbase. I just don't see him fitting in much better than Torts did.

If McLellan and Torts traded spots then had the same results it'd be pretty great

At the start of the season, I would've been happy if the Avs squeaked in as a 7 or 8 seed and bowed out.

That's a dangerous combination right there. Nevermind letting him greave, you ought to call and make sure he isn't, well, planning on doing anything rash.

trotz works with the rosters he's given. he's had high scoring teams and low scoring teams. give him the roster for the uptempo style, and you'll get fast, high-scoring hockey. he's not "rigid" and he doesn't have problems adapting.

really hope he doesn't go to vancouver just so i don't have to hear poo poo like that though. not you, i just know the media would be all over it after 2 weeks. i think he'll go to a young team like the panthers anyway.
