Has Torts lost his mind?

[JaegerDice]

The Duclaire comments came off harsh in print, but when you actually watch the video, the tone is pretty soft and even caring.

The Panarin comments were just hilarious. I can't imagine Panarin has a problem with them, he was probably laughing his ass off (one somebody translated it for him).

 

[JasonRoseEh]

God I love Torts.

 

[puckIuck]

no way panarin stays in Columbus

lol ya that’s what I got out of the Panarin ones. He knows what they’re up to. He knows he’s probably full of shit. So why drag it on.

I liked the time stamp comment too. Thought that was pretty witty in the moment. Like seriously, who gives a f*** anyways.

You’re right about the tone. Sounds a lot like he wants Duclair to figure it out. Why wouldn’t he? Just sounds like he’s out of ideas with the kid.

McDavids had multiple bouts of chronic diarrhea over the last 2 seasons and he never missed games. Panarin deserves to be embarrassed by Torts.

McDavid literally just missed a game with the flu...

 

[Midnight Judges]

I love the Torts show.

Just don't bring it to DC. We already have a circus in the Redskins.

 

[MoeBartoli]

He's hilarious and entertaining. The league needs more tortoises

So you’re hoping the Red Wings hire him?

 

[heynowbababooey]

Hes keeping it real like a coach should. Ya'll are a bunch of flowers.

 

[AndreRoy]

I most have missed something. Old school tough love. Personally I think Tortorella got the most integrity of all coaches. I would have loved to play for him.

Same here. Too many kids these days have grown up coddled and sheltered from criticism and disappointment. Then people wonder why half the country loses their damn minds when something doesn’t go their way. I seriously wonder how the people who think a bit of mild criticism equates to horrific abuse manage to function in the real world.

We all love joke coaches unless they are in charge of our teams.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Tortz belongs in Carolina where the other jokers are...

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

McDavid exploded the other night didn't play...

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

McDavid can never tell if he's leakin or if he's just seeing his teammates out on the ice, amirite?

Torts gonna tort, if I were Panarin I'd be pissed but maybe he finds it funny, who knows. If I'm sick and actually did shit myself, though.. ya, my boss and I would have a problem with him announcing it.

 

[aufheben]

Lol why are people taking the Panarin comments so literally.

 

[Oddbob]

It was a tirade regarding Panarin??? It was hilarious, basically telling that media guy to piss off asking a coach if a trade is impending because Panarin is sitting! He shouldn't have made the Duclair comments, but the Panarin one was great, and I can't stand Torts for the most part.

 

[JungleBeat]

He’s a clown. Won’t blame anybody for not wanting to play for him.

 

[Esko6]

Kekäläinen has to act and stop this, Tortorella is having a breakdown.

 

[haulinbass]

Well apparently NHL teams over the last 20 years keep wanting to hire clowns to be their head coach. Pretty good record for a clown too. Maybe you should call the GM and share your insight since you know what your talking about.

 

[Bizz]

He inherits good teams and turns them into bad teams overnight. Tampa won the Cup in 2004 in spite of him, not because of him.

 

[LiveeviL]

Torts being torts vs players, the sun is hot, etc.

 

[The Panther]

Nine times out of ten, when Tortorella goes to the media Q&A after the game, nothing interesting happens. But that one time out of ten he lets loose and we get memorable and remarkable soundbites to be endlessly broadcast in Sportscenter highlight reels.

I'm getting a little tired of the 10% rule.

Exactly the opposite of reality. You fit right in here.

 

[ncm7772]

Rubs ya the wrong way, but I love listening to his rants!

 

[kp61c]

Everyone knows what happens when you get the flu, why is that embarassing? we're all human

So if you shit in your pants and then someone speaks publicly about it, they have your approval? I don't understand. It must be some cultural thing.

Do you think Panarin literally shit his pants?
