Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid: Flyers Rumors & Media Mentions

[Beef Invictus]

And let's get this out of the way early:

Deadhead, you do not need to defend every single dumbass thing Tortorella does. It is possible for him to be in the wrong.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Goading a 20 year old into an argument.

Development. Get a life

 

[Flyerfan4life]

100% York discovered if i just ignore the oldman yelling at clouds ill be a better hockey player

 

[Beef Invictus]

Goading a 20 year old into an argument.

Development. Get a life

And punishing him when he's a bigger person.

Meltzer confirms that York had a bad camp... in that he got on the bad side of Torts.

I really don't respect anyone who loses their temper all the time.

Imagine your a rookie trying to make the nhl team and the head coach wants to pick a fight with you and get in your face and get a rise out of you...the amount of inner strength that had to take to be polite and recognize that he is a rookie trying to break into the league and the for most coaches it would be a negative to respond in any negative way and then label yourself as difficult to work with.

He tried this with Ryan Kesler back in the day when they with Vancouver. Tortorella apparently was trying to goad him into fighting him & Kesler almost punched him out. Kesler said the next day at the skate Tortorella was kissing his ass. Tortorella was like telling Kesler he’s his guy for next year to which Kesler said laughingly that neither would even be there the following year (which happened to be the case).

I’m going off memory but I believe that story was told during Kesler’s interview on Spittin’ Chicklets.

This mf’er should be nowhere near a rebuild. He didn’t sign up for a rebuild, and doesn’t want any part of it. He’s got the perfect scenario where the front office has his back and will launch anyone who doesn’t “buy in” into the sun, have labeled this a “rebuild” when it’s actually a fake rebuild, so expectations are low and he will look like a hero if they’re competing for a last playoff spot.

Maybe the reason Gauthier isn't there this year isn't just to save some money from his pocket.

And what happens if York gives in? Oh right, he gets benched.

What an idiotic f***ing process. This is exactly what Clarke was giddy about when the guy was hired, too. Everything currently employed by the team needs to be fired before they can actually successfully rebuild.

The Flyers play in Calgary in 12/31 - does Sanheim appear in that game?

 

[Columbus Hockey Dad]

One of these days, old man Torts is going to get dropped, and I'm going to laugh my ass off when it happens.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I wonder if he tried that routine with his horse?

 

[Cody Webster]

Come on guys, I'm sure it wasn't that bad. It was probably just some good ole hard rubbing. Torts has been a coach in this league for many years and knows how to get the best out of his players. He wanted York to make the team out of camp and was doing his best to try and make him play with an edge. Obviously York wasn't ready for the big show and the face washes he'd receive from players after the whistle so he had to go to the AHL. This is what lit the fire under York and he was up in a months time anyway.

Matteo Mann can rise up to number 2 in my prospect rankings if he knocks Torts out for trying to pull that shit on him.

He's already #3 for me, right behind Bump and Bonk.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Best case scenario is Torts loses the lockeroom and the team totally tanks and he gets fired before the real pieces of the rebuild get here.

I want him no where near Mich or Cutter.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

In the words of Red...What a colossal prickhaven. Please let him not be coaching when Michkov gets here

#benched..

"oops! didnt i do this last year to?"..

Torts...

this meme is sooo spot on for this forum

Gonna need Oliver and Matteo to develop into the team's enforcers like Portman and Reed from the Mighty Ducks. Bonk-Mann is just too good a name pairing for them to be anything else.

As he does it, he'll be singing:

"Blinded by the light - knocked out a big douche, and not a toilet seat in sight"

Can we just get a normal coach for once? Need to get rid of Torts ASAP. Sounds like the second edition of Hakstol vs Gostisbehere. Torts starts benching York, bye, bye, trade value, just like with Ghost. Fire the coach, not the player, this time around, before it’s too late.

Um, excuse me. That tough love along with his time in the AHL turned him into the player that he is today.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Must still be trying to scheme up a defense for this.
