There's lots of ranger fans that were pissed that torts was fired . Their blogger was one of them . I didn't care for him but even care less for AV . I do like the style they are TRYING to play . They just don't have the higher end talent to play it . But the last six or so games they look alot better . Good thing they are in a poop division

I agree they seem to be coming around

Yup quite a few defended Torts, haven't seen any of them defending MDZ. That has to say something.

MDZ, Dorset, Zucc and Brassard for booth, Setisto and Edler. Its coming

Can't say I've seen one fan on here defending him. I'm sure there were a few however. All I've read is them bit©hing about shot blocking and how Torts thinks everybody is stupid and that's why he carries on in his pressers

I think watching the team under AV/Arneil has opened their eyes.

That was a brilliant trade for him. I can't believe some pussies would veto the deal.

You guys seem to veto every pending trade in the pool.

MDZ reminds me of Jyki Lumme , play real good at times but try's to make that impossible pass . Over and over again , never learns from stupid plays or thinks that maybe it was a fluke that the other team intercepted it . Gets old fast . He's probably not as bad as some fans on HB says he is but is not a top four , or at least he doesn't play often enough as a top four .

Agreed. Torts did wonders there his first couple yrs. Richards and Gaborik ripped it up. Guy is a perfect coach for a veteran team. Just don't expect him to be here near as long as AV was.

I think at this point David Suzuki would personally buy-out Booth on behalf of Canadian wildlife if it meant getting him out of the country.

As a young player, AV will casterate him for mistakes. You know Edler had and still has some of thatt

I can see how all of that would get annoying. Torts, like all coaches, has a shelf life. Though his might be shorter than others.

I've never vetoed a deal.

It's getting worse and worse. My latest count, going into tonight's games:

Central - 28 games above 500
PAC - 26 games above 500
atlantic - 1 game above 500
metro - 9 games BELOW 500

Maybe he can get the CBC to help out ... They loved him .... Oh wait ... CBC and Canucks don't really get along do they

From what I've been reading Del Zotto's risky play doesn't come with enough reward for his team. As I said and as did "way out west" sounds like he's basically been a third pairing PP specialist that needs to be sheltered with easy minutes to be effective. I don't see him suddenly or even gradually taking 2 huge steps to get to Hoff's level.

Same here.

The rangers PP is way better under AV , But thats not hard after Torts . it got worst every year under him and Sullivan . He's trying to get the dmen to jump up in the play more but don't think he has the horses to play that way . Their break out is better to . I just don't think they have the players to play AV style . Could be wrong thou , and I've been wrong plenty of times in my 59 years .
