Guest Crymson Report post Posted May 30, 2013 This will be Babcock's fate if we lose tonight. And then by Monday we will have Torts as our new coach. Babcock you better have your **** together tonight. I don't want that man as the next head coach. This has the capacity to happen in the Bizarro Universe. Certainly not in ours. LOL, when is Glen Sather supposed to be fired? This is his 3rd coach that he has hired and fired. He has a bigger rap sheet of bad signings than ANYONE!!!!! How many Cups? 0 (zero) He is the Matt Millen of hockey. He coached the Oilers to four Stanley Cups. He is, however, a terrible GM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 He'll find a job, really good coach, but isn't the type of coach the can win players over for more then 3-5years. After the way he handled the Richards situation players will even hate it more to play for him, so no sane GM should go that route, because it would make it that much more difficult to attract top guys.

Number19 159 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Most unsurprising fire ever. I think he's a decent coach but he more than worn out his welcome there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Love how Katie Strang posted it as BREAKING NEWS, as if nobody saw it coming Edit: My guess is that TSN hires him back Highly doubtful TSN is easily the best one outthere, they have Dreger, MacKenzie, LeBrun, Ward, Duthie and so much other great stuff they don't need this jackass.

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 The downside is they may now get a coach who will have that team playing up to their abilities, right as the Wings are moving to the East. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilmrt 636 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Torts in Vancouver would be the ideal fit. Team needs a culture change, the city loves drama, and Torts loves the spotlight. He'll get it there, that's for sure lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlashyG 1,799 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Torts should go to CBC and phase himself into the new Don Cherry. Incredibly opinionated, abrasive, former coach and doesn't care one little bit what anyone thinks of him. All he needs to do is develop a distaste for all things European and he'd basically be a younger Cherry already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuts2u 22 Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Just my personal opinion, and I realize that others don't have to share it, but I feel that Torts is easier to look at. Didn't he do the BITTER BEER commercial? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
