Torts On Francesa Addressing His Drama With The Media
I feel like there was a big divide with Tortorella this postseason. On one side you had Rangers fans who loved him and on the other side you had the media and post season hockey bandwagon fans who thought he was a dickhead with his postgame press conference antics.
Well I’d say Torts first interview since the Rangers got the boot addressed that issue right there. How can you fault the guy for this explanation? He hates the media asking stupid questions and he’s focused on winning. He knows he sometimes goes overboard and stirs up problems, but what do you want from the dude? He is what he is. Is it always the best way to handle yourself? Probably not. But you can’t blame the guy for detesting the bullshit.
I don’t know shit about hockey and don’t pretend to be a fan of the Rangers, but Torts seems like the exact type of guy you want on the bench. Guy doesn’t care about anything but winning. He stands up for his players. Takes all the heat on his shoulders. Isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Everything you want from a New York City coach.

He’s a fuckin dope. And believe me he doesnt have his players back. He’s as two faced as they get. Believe
Me
@carmineScarpaglia… Yeah im gunna take your word for it you dellusional idiot. Torterella is arguably the best coach in the NHL right now. You must be one of those post season bandwagon fans that KFC is talking about…
Carmine, sweet, thanks for the first hand account of Torts as a coach. How many seasons did you play for him?
Bottom line is, he’s a good coach. He demands 110% effort and 110% accountability from all of his players regardless of salary. If you fuck up, you get called out for it and if you bust your ass you get rewarded. That’s the kind of coach any player (including Zach Parise, who will be a Ranger next season if the Devils don’t win the Cup) wants to play for.
rangers how can you say arguably the best coach in the NHL…and fuck that, he may have his players backs (who really knows) but part of the job is talking to the media, don’t like it, find a new job. I don’t like filling out TPS reports, but I do it because its part of my job.
Im related to someone who played for him for years. He’s a fuckin jerkoff. Oh and congrats on nothing again this season u fuckin loser
Billy…there is no chance ZP will be a ranger next year PERIOD. That comment alone should get you sent to the comment section penalty box for a couple of days
And parise is either gonna be a king or a bruin next year.
Rack it. Kings will be in the hunt too for sure. Parise’s pops talking up his playing in Tort’s system. And don’t give me that “I know a guy who…” bullshit Carmine. You sound like an asshole. Can your dad beat up my dad?
Dont you love how francesa wildly overrates his status in the sports world? Like always talking about who he knows, the relationships he has, “SOURCES”. SHit always cracks me up. YO fat boy everybody in the business fucking hates you. Even jeter of your beloved yanks wont come on the show. Go talk some more about banning twitter
torts, love it
Torts is fine, except his likes Michael DelZotto who should be flogged and burned at the stake.
Parise and Suter are going to Detroit next year, no question about it.
Parise on the Rangers is absolutely laughable. Parise on the Bruins is laughable too and I’m a Bruins fan and would love him here. Detroit has the most cap room and is going to make the biggest push for him, who wouldn’t want to play in that system?? He’d score 80+ points/year and not have to worry about being an all-around player like he is now…unless, of course, Detroit wants to change that. Lidstrom retiring tomorrow. Pour a beer out for one of the best to play the game.
Wow look at all this love for Parise, sorry you gheys. Hell remain a Devil come next season, cup or no cup. His return was a huge factor in the Devils success. Cocks.
