What does Tort’s personality have to do with anything. Where is upstairs he should be kicked to? The team doesn’t lack passion solely because of him if they lack passion at all.

Losing streaks take their toll on everyone’s psyche.

It’s not his fault that the Flyers lack talent, but they also lack any passion or identity. He’s by far the most despised coach in the league.

What’s the matter with everyone? Last time I checked, this team is technically out of the playoffs. Since when can’t Torts bench a player? Oh, so it’s Michkov and not Poehling or Hathaway that have your wedgies cutting off your circulation. Bottom line is Danny and Keith have the final word. If anything I would have kept Kuzmenko to give Matvei a little veteran advice. Maybe he wouldn’t have sought free ageny with a young countryman to mentor. But Torts? I mean you folks really got it bad for the guy, but let’s see if management has him back next fall. Then you can p!ss and moan.

I appreciate the read and support.

I am a Torts defender, and I agree with him that Michkov made multiple mistakes on Sunday, but what player hasn’t? Also, I think communicating with him would be more beneficial in between periods

Dick and tired? Whatever you say but Torts is allowed to bench any player he wants and doesn’t need your approval. Let Danny and Jonesy worry about how effective Torts is or isn’t.

Have you spoken directly to the guys on the team or coaches. I doubt it.

Please get rid of him. Haven’t really seen improvement with any of our young players the years he’s been here. Dick and tired of his bully ways! See Ya!!

His players don’t believe in his style or approach.
