As a fan, are you happy about this?

I'm torn.

The team was regressing and he had the best rookie in Michkov and wasted him for a whole season so hockey wise, it was the correct move.

That being said, Tortorella is Italian and I never want to see another Italian leave.

Changing coaches in the middle of the season is really a desperate move.

Very astute observation, Genie.

I'm impressed.

Indeed it is but the season is gone now, so no point in prolonging the inevitable.

He was going to go, either way.

I can now only hope they lose every game y til the season ends because it's now all about draft position.

He's a veteran of the coaching circuit having been around since 88. I think he fit well with the Philly system, it's unfortunate they got rid of him

Yeah, I was excited when we hired him.

Going to be interesting to see who they get now.

Torts is a good guy.

Does a lot for the community and genuinely down to earth as a coach - really enjoyed when he was with the CBJ.

He’s been around forever - he will find another opportunity soon enough.

They suck they lost like 50 games on a row blow outs
