John Tortorella (Jokingly) Calls Reporter An Asshole

i heard that live, had a good laugh.

@FarhanLaljiTSN: Torts on Flames hallway incident, "I was going down there to get him (Hartley) and I would have

Yeah, whatever Torts. Lost your team after that incident and you're going to lose your job in short order. At least Trevor and Pat Quinn will be around to repair the damage to the Canucks brand starting with your dismissal.

If Torts stays next year can we have the NY Post send Larry Brooks to the Sun for a cub reporter a draft pick

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Please do!!

I'm generally surprised Tortorella has not been fired yet

I'm thinking that Trevor is more focused on getting a replacement for Gillis first and then talking with the new GM about who he thinks he can work with/desires as a head coach. Torts may be in limbo for a little while yet.

good point ... plus they can keep torts around to break the news to Edler he has been traded after they pick Ekblad with the #1 overall pick ...

Torts: "Hey asshole ... "

I hope they are reeling No-Neck Joe in, in the meantime.
one big press conference:
- Jim Benning GM
- Barry Trotz coach
- Ron Delorme, no longer chief scout




/although it is rather funny that Delorme's title is Chief Scout

No-Neck Joe?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I guess he could be making sure he has his guy first before canning Torts - if he cans Torts and then doesn't get his guy then it's scramble mode for him

So in keeping with a biblical theme, Torts in the middle with Gully on the left and Sully on the right?
