What a surprise when you browse TikTok for 5+ hours a day.

today's people *

 

[EddieTheEagle]

TLDR.

 

[Crede777]

Does that mean short or long? I don't know much about amoebas...

 

[Kent Nilsson]

 

[MikeyMike01]

Based and Ted-pilled

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

old man is right

 

[Gil Gunderson]

What did he expect when he signed to coach a team that’s a favourite in the Bedard sweepstakes?

 

[ChickenDinner]

He's not wrong. And because he said something truthful, he will be shamed for it.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Torts is anti-single cell. Always knew it!

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

What I want most this season:
1. Sid, Geno, Tanger getting their fourth cup
2. Torts hauled off to the looney bin kicking and screaming

In other words he means players nowadays play more on instinct rather than by following what’s written on paper. Players are much more adaptable today than they were before. These systems aren’t all different from the game before or from coach to coach. Players tend to overthink however compared to the past and he went on to say it’s best to just let them play and not get into their way.

That’s literally all he meant.

I wouldn't like to be in the same room with the guy, but he does make some sharp notes

I'd pay my left arm to hear some of the conversations he has when he notices players concentrating too much on cell phones.

IF that’s what he meant, and used the simile comparison of amoebas, wouldn’t it be figuratively all he meant?

 

[ijuka]

Well you're implying that it's not true, but it is. Scientific research has shown that the average person's attention span's getting lower and lower

 

[orby]

Back in Tortorella's day, players skated uphill both ways to get to the rink! And they didn't have these newfangled iPhones. They played with rocks...and liked it!

no shit really is my response

been like that for a good while

 

[WhereAreTheCookies]

I wanted to care about what John Tortorella thinks, but I lost interest halfway through his comment.

 

[Bronson]

Love Torts, he's not always right but he never gives a f***.

 

[IamNotADancer]

He is right. f*** the tiktok generation

 

[goodgrimes]

Anyone who dumps on him for making a generalized and true statement about the erosion of attention span is a baby.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

What kind of attention span gets a person fired as many times as Torts?

 

[Gabe Kupari]

He's not wrong.

What kind of attention span gets a person fired as many times as Torts?

He keeps getting hired tho. Just cuz you are overly sensitive and apparently think coaching in the NHL and Olympics is some failure doesn't mean it is
