Tortorella most disliked coach in the NHL

[FlyguyOX]

Ovechkin seems to hate Tortorella too: Ovechkin scores goal No. 879, Capitals rally past Flyers | NHL.com
From the article it says: "Ovechkin's goal was his 35th against a team coached by John Tortorella, the most he's scored against any opposing NHL coach."

That's what happens when Torts is as tenured as he is, and where three of those teams were division opponents of the caps.

In Columbus he was absolutely beloved by his players. Everyone in the building it seems.

He's still hanging out and chatting with MSL and with the Sedins. A lot of his former players still associate with him.

What this poll is showing is the "Patrick Roy Effect" - the first name that pops in your head.

Torts hit em with one of these when they tried to show him the list:

And then rambled something about how cell phones shouldn't be in the league and we should go back to rotary phones.

Kuzmenko knew exactly who was calling, said f***, and let it go to voicemail.

Let's retroactively poll players about Scottie Bowman. Or, let's see which coaches players like the most and see how accomplished they are. We'll call it the Laine curve.

“We all hated Scotty [Bowman] 364 days a year. On the 365th day, we collected our Stanley Cup rings.”
