YoloinOhio Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 CBJ fired Todd Richards and hired John Tortorella. They were 0-7. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) CBJ fired Todd Richards and hired John Tortorella. They were 0-7. Thoughts? Doesn't surprise me they fired Richards. Not that I think it's his fault, but some believed this team could be in the running for the presidents cup, and this start (even though it's incredibly early) will cause a bit of a panic. I am not a Tortorella fan, I don't think his coaching style is a good fit for C-Bus, but that 1 Stanley Cup victory on a resume sure goes a long way...

plenzmd1 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 CBJ fired Todd Richards and hired John Tortorella. They were 0-7. Thoughts? something had to be done. Way to talented to be 0-7. Torts will make em better, but not as good as they could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 CBJ fired Todd Richards and hired John Tortorella. They were 0-7. Thoughts? I thought Mike Keenan was going to get the job, that was last weeks rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 @reporterchris Wait! I'm told the #canucks actually get a second-round pick from Columbus because John Tortorella's hiring comes in-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I agree Richards had to go (though I mostly blame Goalie Bob) but not sure about the hire. They also had to give Vancouver a 2nd round pick for compensation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 From Columbus-land - something had to happen. Either a trade or a coaching change. The trade side was most likely not going to happen at this time of the season as CBJ are at a point of weakness. Teams are not going throw us a life-preserver to help us - they are going to give us an anvil instead in exchange for some very promising young talent. Â I hope Torts can interject some fire and some discipline into the CBJ. (Hmm - where have I heard this before.) Â CBJ did have to give up a second round pick to get Torts as he was still under contract with VAN. Torts did sign a 3 year contract with Columbus. So, we are signed up with him long term. Unless he completely craters too. Â Season is young and I hope the CBJ can get this stabilized and show direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how that will work out. But he talked about him a lot in the press conference. Â I agree - there was no way they could go on without a big shake up. I think Torts will use both goalies a lot.
