Resources such as the one you mentioned right here will be extremely helpful to myself! I will publish a hyperlink to this web page on my individual blog. I am certain my site visitors will uncover that fairly valuable.

”....or the game against Washington that we had them down 4-0. We have to be more of an attack team rather than a team that’s going to pull back and back in.”
{Slats was referring to them pulling back when leading in the games against Toronto and Washington specifically, not the philisophical style of play the coach wanted every game}

Sather may be a lazy, blame-shifting SOB. But he is dead-on about the creeping fear that is Renneyism and that took over after the fast start.

Renny tried to run the clock out on the season after 10-2-1 just like he tried to run the clock out against Washington. Disaster followed, for the team and finally for him. Sad, but his terror of letting his players play with passion and emotion did him in, and he did it to himself

{Are you insane?... yeah… cause every coach wants to win games 1-0 or 2-1… Renney was a fall-guy… as typical and cliche as most mid-season firings happen in professional sports… he was a fall-guy for poor evaluation and poorer performance…}

Outstanding blog indeed. I’m a big Torts fan from being a former Florida resident and watching what he can do for a team. Hopefully Wade Redden and the other slackers on this team are sweating right now. Torts will not stand for their lack of effort.

So happy with this move!

Please Torts, PLEASE, bench Redden’s sorry @$$. Nail down Voros and Reitz as well. It’ll take the sting out of Renney’s sacrificial firing. Thank you.

(And Sather will die in this job. Basketball James Dolan will never fire him. Because he’s NOT PAYING attention.)

thanks for the answer Carp

i thought Pearn had something to do with the power play.
i guess his excuse last year was it was all Jagr’s fault.
i had hoped that Florida would have done us a favor and hired him as their coach, but no luck.

i’m guessing that Pelino worked with defense and penalty kill. so, he gains points for PK but is he very close to chopping block due to our horrible d-zone coverage (i.e. watching the puck and allowing players to sneak in to shoot/score) as well as panic/bad rushes out of our zone…

I know someone posted a link about Torts before, but feast your eyes on this:

Both Torts and Schony on the top ten playoff coach rants of all time!!! ( ”!!!’s” are sarcastic)

I have to say I am impressed that Sather seemingly did the “right thing” in hiring this guy (and flushing The Professor) because as someone wrote over the weekend he’s always tended to hire one of his buddies. I wonder what this means for #11 (or #35 or #2) and their aspirations to be a part of the management of this organ-i-zation.

Yes. Additionally, Tortorella knows enough to know that his best players need plenty of ice time to perform at their best, that you cannot drone-like keep rolling four lines regardless of the circumstances.

I can count on one hand the times I can recall Renney double-shifting a player who was in the zone, with a hot hand, etc. He showed almost a total lack of feel for how to coach a game once the puck dropped.

Thanks to all. Onecup, I don’t need no stinkin’ alcohol to type like that. But I sure could use a beer.

jpg, sorry, but time was short with Slats—we don’t get to talk to him very often, you know?—so couldn’t go too deep into the assistants. I imagine he wanted some continuity in the room until Torts picks his own staff after the season. And from what I’ve gathered the power play was Pearn’s baby, so …

Runninamok, I don’t think Torts minds the rough stuff at all. I think Gomez stays and could flourish with Torts. I don’t see why Orr wouldn’t stay, although with fewer minutes.

Just put up a new post with the last few comments from Sather.
