John Tortorella is expected to be named the Vancouver Canucks new bench boss. He arrived at Vancouver International Airport on Friday amidst reports that he is about to be named the new Canucks coach. "No decision has been finalized yet," replied a Canucks spokesperson when contacted by TSN. Canucks general manager Mike Gillis was on Team 1040 Radio in Vancouver on Friday and wouldnt confirm that Tortorella was the teams new coach but indicated he was a strong candidate. He also told hosts Barry MacDonald and Don Taylor that the organization was hoping to finish off the process shortly. "Johns certainly in the mix and very strong, so were going to finish off the process the way we designed it initially and that shouldnt take us much longer," said Gillis. If hired, it would be a trade of sorts as former Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault was introduced on Friday as the new head man in New York. Tortorella was dismissed from the Rangers on last month following New Yorks second-round loss to the Boston Bruins. In 319 regular-season games with New York, Tortorella went 171-118-1-29. He was 19-25 in the post-season and reached the playoffs in four of five seasons after taking over as coach in February 2009. If hired, Tortorella - who turns 55 on Monday - would be taking his third posting as an NHL head coach. He was behind the bench for the Tampa Bay Lightning from 2001-08 before taking the same role with the Rangers. He won the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year in 2004 when he led the Lightning to their first-ever Stanley Cup. Other candidates for the coaching position include Los Angeles Kings assistant John Stevens and former Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Scott Arniel, who coached the Canucks AHL affiliate in Chicago.

Michael Bradley USA Jersey .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It was generally understood before the season started that the Cleveland Browns would be one of the NFLs worst teams. Then the injuries began, and havent ended yet.In losing its first five games, Cleveland played five quarterbacks. Opening-game starter Robert Griffin III (shoulder) is out for the year, second-game starter Josh McCown (shoulder) just resumed practicing this week, third-stringer Cody Kessler (chest/ribs) was knocked out last week and waiver-wire pickup Charlie Whitehurst (knee) was released with an injury settlement Tuesday after limping off the field near the end of last weeks 33-13 loss to New England.Converted quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who has actually played quite well at wide receiver, finished last weeks defeat under center. To replace Whitehurst, the Browns promoted rookie Kevin Hogan from the practice squad.Adding left guard Joel Bitonio (mid-foot) to the infirmary for Sundays game at the Tennessee Titans further weakens an offensive line that doesnt need weakening.You obviously dont want any injuries, left tackle Joe Thomas said, but you understand they are part of the game. That is why it is important to build your depth on any team. In the NFL, it is not a matter of if injuries are going to happen, it is a matter of when.Bitonios injury seems particularly ill-timed considering Tennessee (2-3) demonstrated last week in a 30-17 victory at Miami that it can get after the quarterback. Working over a Dolphins offensive line that started two backups, the Titans bagged six sacks of Ryan Tannehill.With Brian Orakpo, Derrick Morgan and Jurrell Casey coming off two-sack games each, it would seem like Tennessee has a real chance to terrorize whoever takes snaps for Cleveland.We are not going to put together an entirely different scheme together based on the injury to (Bitonio), Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. We have got a set scheme. We are going to attack. Dick LeBeau does a good job attacking where he thinks weaknesses are, and we will go from there.Until last week, LeBeau could have had a grand old time attacking his own teams offense. Tennessee was averaging just 15.5 points before its victory in Miami, which saaw DeMarco Murray rush for 121 yards on 27 carries and Marcus Mariota threw for three touchdowns and rushed for a fourth.ddddddddddddf course, that was on the road and the Titans next three games are in Nissan Stadium. Most teams are better at home, but Tennessee isnt most teams, as it has painfully proved over and over. Since the 2014 seasons beginning, the Titans have lost 16 of 18 at home, with both wins coming against Jacksonville.I dont think consistency has been something weve done around here, Mariota said. If were able to do that and build one good game after another, well like the direction were going in.Like his team, Mariota has struggled at home, turning the ball over three times in a 17-10 loss to Oakland on Sept. 25. But he has shown glimpses of his considerable potential with four four-touchdown games in his first 17 starts, matched only by Charlie Conerly of the 1948-49 New York Giants.Mularkey was happy with Mariotas decision-making at Miami.He really took what the defense gave us and that is what were looking for, Mularkey said. We didnt make any crucial mistakes, which we had made in earlier games while he was trying to make more happen.Regardless of whether McCown or Kessler gets the call at quarterback for the Browns, they figure to base their offense around running back Isaiah Crowell. Despite being held to 22 yards last week as New England stacked the line of scrimmage, Crowell is fifth in the NFL with 416 yards through five games.Crowell, Pryor (24 catches, 338 yards) and versatile backup running back Duke Johnson give Cleveland some nice weapons offensively. But a revolving door at quarterback and the lack of depth on the offensive line has hampered first-year coach Hue Jacksons efforts to build a dangerous attack.I know it is frustrating for the fans, Pryor said. It is frustrating for us. It is probably frustrating for some of you guys that are Cleveland Browns fans and reporters, as well.This is the time we have to stick together and keep fighting. If we dont quit, good things are going to come out. ' ' '
