Coach Hard: The Johnny Torts story.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Yeah, I mean that's kind of my point. It's all accountability and doing things the right way, and practice the right way etc. Meat and potatoes type guy.

I like this stuff. I need to see strides on the PP and the OZ though.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This is not the same personality I remember with the Rangers lol

That's because it's not heat of the moment Torts. It'll come once he's in that moment.

Who the hell is Dan Gelston that he's getting into it with now?

I said the same thing. "Who the hell is this guy?"

 

[bobbythebrain]

Months ago. "I'd talk to Zegras about scoring those skilled goals. I like old skool hockey"

Today " i love developing young players cuz I've evolved"

Works for the AP apparently.

Yeah, for clarity, I'm not saying holding people accountable is bad, or working hard is bad. I agree with what he's saying.

But there is a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. Maybe he's changed, but he has an MO around the league.

Never heard of him before, but I liked his basic question about how the hell can you expect this team to get better quickly.

Proud again to be a Flyers fan. LETS GO

 

[flyersnorth]

I was all in until I heard him pronounce it YUGE.

No.

Just.

No.

Jonathan Gannon "It's Philadelphia"

John Tortorella "It's the Philadelphia Flyers"

Lmao

 

[Curufinwe]

Torts says he's been shoveling a lot of shit the past 9 months.... expect that to continue.

Kevin Hayes coming off injuries, blocking shots...love to hear it.

 

[TCTC]

He's saying the right things and you can see why some players speak so highly of him. He seems like a guy who's really good at motivating people and get the best out of them. If they can handle his personality.

Blocking shots is Torts 101.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Don't hate all of this, sounds like he is gonna put Hayes on blast, admitting he has a lot more to give

 

[Danko]

Talkin' Analytics?!?

 

[Curufinwe]

Chuck mocking ASF hardcore there.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I feel like Chuck was just sarcastically truthful there.

Me too, his smile gave away a lot to me.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

How is John wearing a UA Flyers polo? Is that even possible

 

[Curufinwe]

Fletcher didn't really want Risto, either.

 

[Danko]

Who were the 8 coaches they interviewed?

Reports were Trotz, Cassidy, Capuano, Torts, Deboer?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Had four people in the second interviews...which means that Trotz was likely one of the others but since he turned the Flyers down he wasn't considered a finalist, right?

 

[FlyguyOX]

Love what torts is saying. He's going to tear into Provorov and Hayes.
