I've heard too many horror stories about Tortorella. Besides, firing your coach to hire the coach of the ONE team worse than you doesn't seem like great "strategery".

Perhaps the "strategery" is that he uses an attacking style of offense, which meshes well with the personnel/mindset/system we already have in place.

Perhaps it's because he's had 4 straight 90+ point years before this one and that this season might be an aberration rather than an indication of his coaching ability like you're trying to make it out to be.
