Pierre LeBrun and Joe McDonald discuss whether coach John Tortorella is the right choice to fix what is wrong in Columbus.
LEBRUN: JoeyMac, be honest, what was your reaction when you heard John Tortorella was replacing Todd Richards as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets?
Certainly, nobody is surprised Richards got fired after an 0-7-0 start and it’s unfortunate because he’s a good coach. It’s the ugly part of pro sports that firing the coach is the most-often course of action simply because it’s the easiest. I hate it.
But the team needs a jolt.
