They respect me as a player and I push myself hard to help the team, too!
@A.ROMERO78USN His son is currently serving with the U.S. Army 75th Ranger Regiment. They’re one of very few badass special operations strike forces in the world. Go figure... 🦅 🇺🇸
Exactly. He is who he is, and I bet once you earn his respect and continue to show good effort he would be behind you 100%. I have heard many people in interviews say that he is a great human being. It's the "tear you down and build you back better" philosophy. Same way the military does it. Our snowflake society is just soft and gets offended too easily to realize that they would be better at the end of the day to be coached like this.
I use to live in Brandon, FL where the Lightning practice. Tortarella and his son use to come into Sports Authority all the time when i worked there. He is a very nice guy.
@@debbiesanderson9179 it is the furthest from intimidation there is. He wants the most from his guys and he's willing to be passionate about wanting his guys to put their best effort in day in day out. Its a coaching strategy that works wonders. A coach being that passionate for you usually ends up making you want to do anything for that coach.
@@dr3wbis How's that false, dummy? In the past 16 years he's won exactly 1 division (2011 Rangers), missed the playoffs 5 times, only gotten past the first round of playoffs 3 times since 2004 and been fired multiple times. So cleary you are a fucking dope that doesn't know shit about hockey. Or just a Tortorella Columbus fan boy, which also means you don't know shit about hockey. Blue Jackets are a joke of a franchise.
The vast majority of coaches are lifeless and tbh I think it has to do with not getting recognized, so they stick with hockey culture which is pretty much straight face under every circumstance. The league needs more coaches that won't be afraid to show that they're just as emotionally invested as the players are and the need players like ovi and subban in a sense where they know if you score a goal fucking celebrate within reason of course don't start doing front flips but pump your chest, scream be happy you just scored a goal against elite competition whether it's your first or your 600th it doesn't matter celebrate it's not a bad thing
This is how a MAN leads his warriors! I'd play for him, bc I know a man like that would fight to the death for you if he knows that you would do the same! Helluva guy!
I'm a rangers fan! And they have been nothing but down hill...since the team he built made it to the finals! And were 3 posts away from a cup!!!! Great winning coach!
Master 811 tbh that’s a pretty stupid comment. getting to cup finals means you won three other series. losing in the cup finals still means you made it further than any other team but one. torts team didn’t make the playoffs for the first time in 5 yrs that season, and recorded their worst regular season since 99-00.
Torts, most entertaining coach in sports. Hilarious, I love Torts, He's awesome. One of nicest guy's you could meet away from the rink. Torts makes the NHL entertainment level over the top !
I think 99% of NHL fans wanted to see him (and Marleau) lift the cup. That Finals loss against Pittsburgh still hurts, and I'm saying that as a Wings fan
I absolutely love how Torts went off on Joe Thornton saying he hasnt won a single thing in the NHL, and like a prophet, Thornton still hasn't won anything in the NHL.
He’s as honest and straightforward as they come. No beating around the bush with him. He may thrash his team or one or more players in some way on a given night but he would die with his team and be at the front. Torts is the isht!
He obviously never had a tough coach. All the nice coaches I ever had were pussies and threw us parties for losing. The good coaches are the ones that put boot in ass and demand the most.
Mateo Baseball no he’s not he is entertaining and a good coach. Torts in the flames dressing room was hilarious love his rivalry with Hartley. I miss him in Vancouver. He was best with rangers when he had his fuck meltdown in St. Louis lol. Yelling coaches are the best and funny.
@The Anti-Simp Chronicles Don't put words in our mouth. There is nothing "thinly veiled" about our statement. The NBA is made up of too many prima donnas. LBJ and too many players included. Many, (not all) couldn't cut it in the NHL. A "Coaches" league. NOT a "players" league. They can't even acknowledge that they make millions of dollars for.....Ready for it......NBA Team OWNERS!. Imagine if they had to work for NHL team OWNERS?
He’s not angry. He’s just extremely passionate about making sure his guys are doing better. Not taking shit from anyone else either. That’s why he’s my favourite coach.
I love Johnny Torts....reminds me of an Italian American-Ivy League version of Punch Imlach only with less restraint and better one liners. You play the game long enough and you know whether or not you gave everything or left something on the bench. You get to this level and you should drive yourself to the point of puking on the bench to win in every game. You can see it when the Ladies (CDA-US) play the game, flat out every second of every shift, unbelievable passion, energy and commitment and they are paid SQUAT. In fact I have NEVER seen anything close to the same level of intensity in any team sport that women play. I guess that's the beauty of contact sports.

haha his daughter was my child's 4th grade teacher last year, I thought it was pretty cool, she was very nice and down to earth too, very happy experience for myself and the kids.
I know a kid that played for him. He had nothing but praise for Tortorella. Always fair and always knew where he stood. He wants hard work, bottom line.

6 minutes of Tortorella getting pissed of is all you can find?
Seriously?
so
Make that 2.4k
Did you mean the video or your own pinned comment because i'd say you got 100 likes on both lol XD
He's the Gordon Ramsay of the NHL.

He's not a gay British women
"You were probably beat up at the bus stop" I'm dead lmaooooo
Lol 😂
holy fuck I spit my beer out first time for everything lol
Love how he looks over to see what reporter is laughing, brooksy is such a weasel
No way Torts hasn't buried at least one body that hasn't been found.
He fed it to gators while at Tampa bay !!! No evidence to recover.....
He hides them good!
Applying he's a mobster cause he's Italian-American? 😏
He is a fiery coach, I think once a player earns his respect, they would run through a brick wall for him.
been coached in martial-arts by someone like him, it definitly made me stronger as a person and as a fighter. Torts is in my opinion best NHL coach
@@OldSchoolVGammer that makes sense. somehow ive been changing my opinion about him over the past years.
Kenny Angelo yeah? is that why his team has been the best in the NHL since december? if so I hope they continue feeling that way

"I gotta get out of here." -John Tortorella

Very few coaches have the balls to stand up to their star players, the league and the media. Torts is awesome.
VERY Military way about him...no BS...straight to the point and calls out whoever ! love it !!!

Can I have Tortorella yell at me everytime I start to procrastinate?
Careful what you wish for
im not gonna lie, having a coach or boss like tortorella would scare the shit out of me
Jordan Hanson Nobody Can Argue With A Beard Like That
agreed but look at the jackets these past two years. the only way they beat the lightning and leafs is by having a coach who is hard as fuck on them
Dude I’d love it he respects people who knows what their doing

One of the most over rated coaches. Had so many talented players in tampa. Nothing anywhere else . Players tune him out.
Ur being sarcastic right?
@@97carded players tune him out because they cant handle the truth!
lol

He’s made the jackets a pretty good hockey team. I love torts.

Love the banter between him and the reporters.. Brooksie being my favourite episode.. Great crack 👍
Torts is a national treasure. Love that guy
Should have a Torts cam for every game. Guys hilarious!
Torts telling the refs that he's not going anywhere after he got thrown out of the game tonight in Tampa is now one of the angriest moments for him
I see Torts, I upvote. He's hilarious.
They need him in inner city public schools
I’m not a fan of this guy but I still like him lol
he sure as hell is entertaining, whether you like him or not ^^
You're not making sense dude....
@@maynardferguson9599 that makes perfect sense. You don't have to be a fan to like something.
What the hell how are you not a fan but you like him?
Tbh he has reasons to be angry, some of those calls are bullshit, and torts is a great coach, a coach should fight for what calls should be made
If NHL Gamecenter had bench microphones then I'd be throwing them my money every season
Always said they need to make a show or audio show that you pay monthly and is unfiltered and has the refs and bench mic'd up

I would love to be coached by somebody like this, brutally honest and shows emotion regardless. People like that make everybody around them better
When I was a little kid, John Tortorella played for my hometown Erie Golden Blades of the Atlantic Coast Hockey League.
Tortorella is how the coaches used to be. Now they are all drab and boring
Coaches are all still like that.
Paul Maurice is still pretty entertaining when he gets upset
Quenneville?

"It was a slop-fest." -John Tortorella

The Joe Thornton one hurts. True but I met the man twice in my life and he’s such a great person. I really wanted him to win a cup.
I think 99% of NHL fans wanted to see him (and Marleau) lift the cup. That Finals loss against Pittsburgh still hurts, and I'm saying that as a Wings fan

Yeah, but thornton is a first ballot hof, torts should get in, but not the first ballot
You can hate all you want but you can’t deny the fact that he is a great coach. Coached Tampa to a cup and turned the blue jackets into a decent team.
Torts is fucking endless entertainment XD. I'm a Devils fan from birth, and I'd love to see him as a coach in the future XD
Yeeaaah let's just skip over the Rangers years. As for Vancouver, best not to speak of that at all. 😂
Lmao wtf are you on? Lecavallier won the cup for Tampa, and CBJ has enough firepower to be a decent team without Torts.
susMaster77 ...unfortunately...
@susMaster77 shut up we came close
"And the officals from the game SCREWS US. I'M NOT TAKING NO GOD DAMN QUESTIONS

Pure off the cuff and brutally honest.

I'm still amazed that Torts hasn't gone off the handle on Lori Schmidt. Her questions are something that would test any coach's patience.
Torts doesn't play. Every time his team loses, i go straight to his post game interviews.
Torts is a little too honest 😂
Torts for President.
He's always reminded me of coach Orion from D3 Might Ducks 😆
I believe the referees do this just to piss Tort's off!!!
He's not angry, he's passionate
joe thornton still hasn't won a thing in this league, sharks are terrible this year lol.
Best line.. hasnt won anything so what he should do is shut his mouth lmao
Torts stands up FOR his team and stands up TO his team when needed. Love this guy
He wears out his welcome though
Happy Torts is ok.
Angry Tortorella is awesome !
How did you narrow it down?
Torts is the hockey world's Earl Weaver. He's great.
I think he could also be Dick Williams and Billy Martin on the baseball side and Tommy Lasorda when he is really mad.
@@WClark-lp9vc agreed he's definitely got that Lasorda energy

Punch's autobiography written in the 60's was titled "Hockey Is A Battle", it still is. When it loses that intensity I'll go watch curling.
probably the best coach ever.
Lispy Luke-345 Peter Laviolette is my favorite just because he tried to jump across Pierre Mcguire towards Dan Bylsma.
Have you ever watched hockey? Best coach ever? WTF are you smoking!?
Shawn Allen Tortorella and Laviolette donest take crap of nobody and has their teams backs.
Jalen Brito so tough behind the glass. Meet him in the parking lot and he will run away. American pussy. No gun...they run
Shawn Allen I know the greats like Scotty Bowman, Mike Keenan, etc

nothing cheers me up faster than watching torts pop off lol
Two thoughts:
1. Would prolly love to see Torts in San Jose.
2. Tortorella must be the Sir Alex Ferguson of the NHL, personality-wise.
