frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted May 1, 2014 He was the wrong coach from the get go and I highly doubt he will find another job soon, given his way of handling players and his overall antics I think they are going to look hard at McLellan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted May 1, 2014 He needs to be cast away to NBCSN and replace Edzo. He can't coach but I sure would like to hear him call games as a color commentator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the guy needs a break away from actual nhl management. Commentator would fit him well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcaractac 3,962 Report post Posted May 1, 2014 His spot on the "panel" at TSN is already waiting for him. He just has to beat out Martin Biron in a thumb wrestling match. Always liked him on the TSN panel. HE was good at that. Anything to get Biron off of it. Ugh..... Put Biron on RDS (french TSN) or something. I absolutely cannot deal with the way he talks. It isn't even just the accent. He also speaks english wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted May 1, 2014 His problem always has been that he puts himself and his antics before the team. If he could keep his mouth shut, he wouldn't be such a distraction to everyone in the organization. I don't know why anyone would hire him. Just because he fluked to a Stanley Cup with Tampa in 2004? Look what he's done since then. I wouldn't risk signing this guy if I'm GM. He's too much of a distraction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted May 1, 2014 I think that the Wings should hire him to be the personal motivator for Franzen. Torts is utlra competitive and very demanding and is not afraid to call a player out to the media, unlike the Wings who are always polite regarding Franzen. Imagine if Franzen had to deal with Torts all year, might get his rear end in shape haha. Obviously I am kidding, but this would be quite funny. 2 HadThomasVokounOnFortSt and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) The guy should take a break and work for the TSN panel his coaching style and fiery attitude just don't mesh well Really playing your top line over 20 minutes every night and letting them do the shotblocks wrong hire from the start. I guess Trotz will be numero in on that list. Edited May 2, 2014 by frankgrimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
