    It's more than a little bit embarrassing that people are applauding this behavior and expressing nostalgia for when it was more common. Tortorella's not being passionate or showing that he cares. He's being an abusive jerk.

    Torts will never reads this, but I would tell him this. I worked on a residential unit in addictions for 20 years. Intense. It was my calling and I thought a calling was for life, but its not. Once a calling is no longer a calling, it becomes a burden, and his behaviour is exactly what I went through. It's time to get out and focus on the animals now.

    We might as well enjoy him while we can. Tortorella is a dying breed and it´s sad. This is the passion we wants!

    Awesome. The reffing is absolutely disgraceful in the whole league. Some refs should get a game suspension. Bettman and his minions should leave hockey already

    Torts was great coaching Tampa but he hasn't exactly made a respectable name for himself since. He's become a joke and a distraction for his team.

    Torts was hoping to get tossed. Baseball managers use this strategy all the time. Yell at the officials, get tossed, rile up the team.

    I kinda was saying enough of JT the last few years but I'm loving this again, the league has become confused, woke, soft, mish-mash refs r just out of sink with the game of hockey, panthers & a few other teams are bringing the tough part of the game back we need it, because all the ballet dancing bedard, mcdavid so many others do & the slightest touch ..u b gone? Nuts to that as for this game I am still looking for the full dust up of what occured, damn it. Oh, ..GKG!
