Is John Tortorella a good idea for the Buffalo Sabres?
Everyone is wondering if John Tortorella is the next man to stand behind the Buffalo Sabres bench, should the team move on from Lindy Ruff as head coach. Does it make sense for the Sabres to hire an old school type of coach like Tortorella at this age? Sneaky Joe looks back on Torts’ time both with Jarmo Kekalainen in Columbus, but also his most recent stop in Philadelphia. What went wrong for Torts with the Flyers includes a message getting stale and a run in with a talented player.
Plus, what went right in the Sabres win over the Flyers, which was the team’s fourth win in a row. A game where Tage Thompson had some bad moments early, but scored an important goal, and Josh Norris had a slick game winning goal. Also, a preview of Sabres-Islanders.

If by recent evidence Torts hasn't mellowed enough NOT to lose his cool and use reason over emotional outbursts, he is not our man.
Premonition: FAIL.
Did u hear about karmonos
Kinda weird to put this out there after a 4 game win streak in a year where refs already costed us 5 games with horrible review calls and our top center missing 90% of season with 5 other players with extensive injuries
No thanks…give me a winner in DeBoer and if he's not interested go to a HC like Jay Mckee
John Tortarella won the Calder Cup when he coached the Rochester Americans in 1999
Joe: Do you really think Lindy doesn't point those things out to the players? Really? While I am open to Torts, I am curious about who Jarmo's top coaching prospects are…..
Dont care what anyone says we need Torts, im sick of this pansy ass organization. I been wanting this for 10 years
Fuck Torts !!!!! As i stated multiple times before.
Torts & Yarmo didn't win shit with the jackets besides one round.
Hell nah! Torts should never be an option..
Maybe in the front office but not as a coach.
No.
Yeah let's get someone older than lindy . Jeeez
Karmonos was a driving force in drafting the same type of player and not balancing out this franchise with toughness. No surprise at all
NO !
He aint coming here did you watch the philly game and post game he dont want no part of that shit.
Tage needs a good kick in the ass now and then and Torts is probably the only coach who would do that !
The post game press conferences would be more entertaining!
Love Torts, but primarily for his entertainment value. Don't want him anywhere near this team.
That play with tage goes to show that stick battling isnt what you do on the wall you put the player into the wall and take the puck. Take the fking player off the puck. Stop being a pretty boy.
