Mike Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Just announced this morning. I'm going to miss that crazy old fella and his brutal honesty. Hope he comes back to the panel on TSN soon.
Noeller Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Not a fan of the guy in any way shape or form. The less I have to see him on TV, the better...
Atomic Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Terrible move by the Rangers. They should can Sather too. The last year and a half or so he's made a lot of questionable decisions.
Noeller Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Maybe canning Sather, too, would be good, but there's no question that getting rid of Torts was smart. The dude is an idiot and a liability...
iso_55 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Not a fan of the guy in any way shape or form. The less I have to see him on TV, the better... Agreed. Guy's got a huge ego. Not sad he got fired.
Mr. Perfect Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 I would drive to New York, pick him up, and bring him straight to Winnipeg if Noel were to get sacked. So many great coaches for hire out there right now. Ruff, Boucher, Torts, yet were stuck with Noel.

Ruff, Boucher, Torts, yet were stuck with Noel. Have never, will never understand the hate for Claude Noel. What he gets out of this sad-sack roster is almost unbelievable. The Jets have little to no talent and have massively over-achieved for 1.5 seasons now. IMO, Noel should be up for Coach Of The Year. Torts and Vaigneault would be massive downgrades. Now, if Quenville becomes available, that's another story....

Noeller Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Overrated, IMO...but a better option than Vaigneault or Torts (ugh!)
Mark H. Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Overrated, IMO...but a better option than Vaigneault or Torts (ugh!) Not that he's available, but Paul Maclean is one the best coaches in the league.
Noeller Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Well, he's one of the best moustaches in the league, anyhow. As a somewhat-Leafs fan, I have a strong detest for all things Ottawa. Mac has got a lot outta that roster, tho...

Good coach for sure, but his teams are about as exciting as watching paint dry. The Jets have a good coach in Noel I think, fans just expect way too much out of a pretty crappy roster. It's going to be ugly seeing them play tougher western teams next year though. That cream puff SE division I think has fooled a lot of winnipeg fans into thinking the Jets are a better team than they actually are.
Bomber Diehard Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Torts is gone and i will not miss him and Sather should go too.I think i heard Sather has some health problems. Speaking of cleaning house, It would ne nice if CBC finally get rid of Don Cherry.
17to85 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 Speaking of cleaning house, It would ne nice if CBC finally get rid of Don Cherry. SACRILEGE! How can people honestly say this? Cherry is nothing if not the most entertaining man in the hockey world. You haven't lived until you've drank along with the Don Cherry Piano Desk.
Noeller Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 I think we nearly died during that Coach's Corner, but it was worth it. That man is nothing short of a god...
iso_55 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Posted May 29, 2013 They can't get rid of Cherry. It's the only thing people watch on the CBC. Get rid of the hippie, left wing commentators & news division before Cherry.
Mark H. Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Well, he's one of the best moustaches in the league, anyhow. As a somewhat-Leafs fan, I have a strong detest for all things Ottawa. Mac has got a lot outta that roster, tho... Can't concur on that one...my wife is a Sens' fan.
Jacquie Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 I would drive to New York, pick him up, and bring him straight to Winnipeg if Noel were to get sacked. Local media would love that (sarcasm) but Tort's media rapport would certainly make them more appreciative of Mack.
Atomic Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 If Noel got fired, I'd probably only be happy if Vigneault ended up back here. However it would be nice to see Tortorella put the Winnipeg media in their place. That said, I like Noel and hope he stays.
tacklewasher Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 I would drive to New York, pick him up, and bring him straight to Winnipeg if Noel were to get sacked. Local media would love that (sarcasm) but Tort's media rapport would certainly make them more appreciative of Mack. We need to figure out how to get Torts and Kelly coaching in the same city. Should cause a few strokes for the media.

Get rid of the hippie, left wing commentators & news division before Cherry. yeah the CBC is a joke. Don Cherry and Rex Murphy are the only people I take seriously on that entire network.
iso_55 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 I would drive to New York, pick him up, and bring him straight to Winnipeg if Noel were to get sacked. What a fun drive back that would be...
Guest Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 Torts getting the boot should come to no ones surprise. IMO Sather really needs to be given the boot, aside from getting lucky and drafting Lundqvist, all he seems to do is overpay players and try to make the big splash. Sather is hands down the most over-rated GM in Hockey (not just NHL) history.
