Did this one surprise you?

Like a lot of people look at it and go like, Tortorella just took them to the Stanley Cup final, a couple of games away from winning the cup, and they don't bring them back.

Well, it surprised me.

The speed of this move shocked me.

The notion that they wouldn't spend some more time trying to sort this out and sue a tortswander shocks me.

That's Vegas.

Vegas does what they think is best right away.

They don't care about what people think.

It's a beautiful way to do business if you can get away with it.

And the point is, if you can get away with it, they don't really care about people's feelings, nor should they.

I say I have some admiration about Kelly and George.

They just do what they think is best for their team.

Ryan Craig is a quality coach.

I like it.

I don't like the fact that John Tortorella got kicked to the curb that quickly.

How quickly, should we say if at all, because now Toronto has been filled, we await the Mike Babcock situation to come to a conclusion with Edmondson.

But how quickly does John Tortorella find another job?

I love Torts.

I've worked with him three times.

So I love him.
