if true the flyers are like if they want him he must be good. No way we aint trading him.
- hello it's me 2050

I've been seeing this rumor all day from multiple twitter accounts. (probably all using the same single source)

If it is true this will be a watershed moment for this front office. Do they really want to rebuild and take this opportunity to get out from under his deal or do they keep him and show us all the rebuild means nothing?

NHL history is rife with coaches who were very successful that were disliked by players. Mike Keenan, Ken Hitchcock, Mike Babcock, and yes, Tortorella.

There are plenty of players with a documented history of not liking Tortorella. Have you ever heard what Matthew Barnaby or Brandon Dubinsky have to say about playing for Tortorella. So who do you want to believe, those guys or Del Zotto? I'm saying it doesn't matter.

I'm interested in what kind of coach I think he is now and what he can do for the team in the future. What is also on his resume is not taking a single team past the 2nd round of the playoffs in his last 16 seasons as an NHL head coach.

Good job! Use two punks to make your case. Barnaby was one of the biggest punks in the league and it followed him after he retired. Dubinsky just comes across as a spoiled brat. Thanks!

Oh, so they don't count. I get it!


Seriously, that's the best you can do? Did you read the link I posted? Is Henrik Lundqvist a punk also? How about the poll of NHL players where Tortorella got the most votes for a coach they wouldn't want to play for? Are they all punks also?
