We're now 22 games into the season, and 15 games into John Tortorella's time behind the bench. If this was a horse race, the horses would just be getting loose, and the jockeys hunkered down for the long 75% of the ride ahead. However, for today's purposes we're not interested in prognosticating the future. Instead, we'll look at the season to date, comparing the reigns of both coaches, looking at statistics, both conventional and enhanced, and comparing the numbers with the realities of what has been experienced on the ice.
At the basic level, the Blue Jackets are 8 - 7 under John Tortorella, compared to 0 - 7 under Todd Richards.
