John Tortorella is going to be the best coach in Columbus Blue Jackets history when his time is done in Central Ohio. He might have that unofficial moniker later this season, assuming the Jackets make the playoffs, something no iteration of the team has done in successive years.
Yes, the accolades run short on the franchise and its history to date, but you don’t have to look far to see how much has transpired with Tortorella at the helm.
The talent is better then it has been in the past, and together, coach and players, the two are forming a duo that works.
