I love that hotel story. Imagine having a cup run staying at a hotel like tournaments when you were kids. Must be such a vibe
crazy how the lightning did it again the covid year too lol.
@@kevinthompson5461 not really? Stevie Y built that team from the bottom up and stacked them. The current GM literally had to do nothing to win those 2 cups recently.
@@AshtrayAnnie I didn't say anything about the gm??? Was just stating that the team won the cup while staying together in a hotel.
@@AshtrayAnnie apart from putting that third line together..
@@nettleleaves8224 and yet look how much of a hand he still had in those players on the 3rd line for both ships haha
Pride of Murray Harbour PEI, great underrated player.
The hotel room thing is used a lot in college football. Make sure they aren't partying before the game, but also team building.
The end justifies the means. Scotty coached that way. I like Tortorella, the way he handles himself with media and he coaches to win. He does the best he can with what he has. Trotz is that style coach as well, it's why these gentlemen keep getting jobs. I also really liked that Tampa era, they had a good team. We'll soon see how much John affected Marty's coaching style and how he draws off that experience. Go Habs Go!
The ends though don't justify the means. Dude hasn't won anything in almost 20 years.
Scotty Bowman tried to fight players ? Scotty Bowman told media to GTFO ?
@@justinlast2lastharder749 Its a players league now! The pampered players push GOOD coaches like Torts out before he can get success or cry to the GM!
I think he's referring to the hotel thing. If I'm not mistaken Bowman did that for all four (76-79) Cups. Don't think Bowman ever fought with players. He was pretty controlled emotionally.@@daveyboy_
This was a great interview lol
I’ve heard many players say after the fact that Torts was the best coach they ever had. Probably a nightmare when he was but more than likely made all players better
Yeah a buddy of mine compared him to Capt. Sobel from Band of Brothers the other day. He may be an SOB but he made the majority of the players under him better.
@@moappleseider1699 he def does elevate his players level of play. Gotta play good to keep him off yr ass
Sobel was a buffoon who bullied people under him and used their success to make himself look good.
Kubrick would be a better comparison. He was competent and made people better for the sake of the cause.
@@ronaldkonkoma4356 Yeah that maybe true but most of the guys in E company agree that he was a great trainer. Also Stephen E Ambrose only interviewed a hand full of E company soldiers who were already pretty old. It's a great show, but don't take it for 100% truthful history.
I'm aware of the feelings that he contributed to their success but it's his motives and manner that I believe make that an apples to oranges
Loved Richards he came on the Hawks and won a cup with us. The no look pass to Kaner wide open cage one T was 🔥
Only one season on the Hawks but will be remembered forever!
The guy in the thumbnail for this video is Brad Richards, not Vincent Lecavalier.
Richard’s is a beauty! Pei Canada Proud!
I read John Tortorella tried to Fist Vincent Lecavalier
also true
Torts redeemable qualities must be top tier
Torts believes teams need drama, something to rally around. He's softened a bit but it still wears thin on teams. I think he'll be able to make Philly better, but Fletcher isn't going to build him a winner before Torts' style wears thin.
Fletcher will be fired this year,,,,,then the new gm will fire torts
Good take
@@BRIANDER100 Probably lol.
Spent a lot of years 5+ as head coach of 3 different teams. No reason to think he won’t be with Philly long term
Oh ya Philly hired Torts. Hahahahaha
Torts is a national treasure! Glad he is back in the league
I was hoping the Oilers would of picked up Torts.
Sounds and looks like Torts got results in Tampa. How can you deny that?
Gotta get Vinny and Torts on the show
Say what you want about john, he knows hockey
if youre going to title a video "tortorella tries to fight vincent lecavalier" maybe use the thumbnail photo for the video that is tortorella and lecavalier, not tortorella and brad richards...
how the fuck did brad richards go in the 3rd round #64 overall? he should of been a top 10 pick forsure. the guy absolutely dominated in junior every year. scouting back in the day was hotdog water for real
A) Richards was playing along side the #1 pick, and many believed he was just riding the coat tails, as Richards was a late bloomer
B) What do you think has changed in scouting from then until now?
@@charlisantini3403 well im just shocked he didnt go higher despite playing with Lecavalier, he produced great numbers.. look who went in the top 15... Jeff Heerema, just over a point per game in his draft year, Rico Fata, another guy with similar numbers, look up Michael Henrich... i just cant believe that guys scouting Lecavalier would overlook another great talent right infront of them
@@Gwarismetal I mean in all fairness, Vinny was an *exceptional* talent. You've heard the age old saying "the guy was so good he made great players look average"? Well there you go. Now, I'm not saying that was the case with Richards necessarily, but it wouldn't remotely surprise me if they just saw Richards as a prime roleplayer in tandem with a future superstar. Don't get me wrong though, I do think scouting even today is still some trash for the most part, but guys smarter than I are the ones in charge of it so I won't tell them they're doing their job straight up wrong 😂
@@Gwarismetal Richards was elite while on Tampa. After he left he put up good but not mind blowing numbers. He under preformed for the rest of his career compared to the money he was getting paid. I'm not saying he wasn't a good player, he was, but he's a tad over rated at the same time.
"how the fuck did brad richards go in the 3rd round #64 overall?"
Datsyuk laughs
Lecavalier n Richards together they slayed it
Don’t forget the lil guy
The fort is a beast
Go bolts! ⚡️⚡️
His teeth match his AirPods…
Torts is a gentleman.
He can yell and scream all he wants, we have no players here in Philly.
Bro it's going to be a rough 1-3 yrs. I was watching the World Juniors thinking Canada or Finland could beat the Flyers.
@@superflyers148 Yup They have minimum 2 lossing years ahead of them. Thats why i dont understand why Torts would want this job
@@superflyers148 honestly seems like it'll be longer than that with the direction of the current management, honestly the flyers get bedard.
@@anthonycarchidi4704 do you work because you need money or do you work because you like to?
Torts only lasted one season here in Vancouver.
He tried to enter the visitors locker room and fight Calgary's coach after a game.
fyi the player on the cover of this video is actually Brad Richards, not Vinny.
Is this brad richards? I didn’t even realized torts coached Tampa. I thought it was the dude who looked like a Bond villain that won the cup there.
No, not Guy Boucher
Yes it’s Brad Richards. Torts was in Tampa from 01-08. It was his first full time head coaching job and he coached more games for the Lightning than any other team.
I've tried to bet $20k that Torts will get into a fist fight with a Philly fan this season. No one will take me up on that.
Security will stop itbefore it happens, but wouldnt shock me! Philly fans are about as close to wild animals living in captivity as we will ever see! I say this with the utmost respect, as i lived near Philly for 15 yrs, so got rather acquainted with the place!
“Ya yever hwad a cwoach wike twortz?”
Fantom FTM 🎉🎉🎉
Good ol PEI boy right there
He's going to destroy Philly this year. The management has overt contempt for their fan base.
Torts was transported from the 60"s and 70's and people don't know how to handle it.
Keenan was a pain in the ass but he never got the rotation torts did
Cute story but who's that in the thumbnail?
Brad Richards
That don't look like Vinny Lecavalier aka the Michael Jordan of Hockey
cANADIAN BOY vINNIE WOULD HAVE WIPED THE FLOOR WITH THE LOUD MOUTH
U guys sure made it a fuckin advertisement opportunity sit on the couch and chill
My money is on Vinny regardless. Dude was a legend and I don't like the Lightning.
The reason why Tortz style no longer works is that there is no Vinny around to step up to him
Its a simple fact that the game has gone soft for a vast majority of players. Only the winners understand the difference between playoff hockey and the regular season.
This had literally nothing to do with Vinny. The fuck
Maybe go to around the 4-minute-mark and re-listen ?
@@sonlover62 maybe go to LITERALLY THE ENTIRE REST OF THE VIDEO and listen again
@@ajstrauss55 that's how they get people to click on a video that wouldn't otherwise have a title people would want to click on.
I believe it's called click bait?
@@sonlover62 He's just daft. You're kicking water uphill talking sense to these plebs.
@@ajstrauss55 … “THE ENTIRE REST OF THE VIDEO…”
Ah! Gotcha. You mean everything OTHER than where it DOES mention the incident!
Tx, ‘tips.’
How is Torts going to react to the flyers losing season?
Hot take but might be true
Bednar is the modern day torts with just more compassion for his players.
how is Bednar similar to Torts
huh
Tort fight Vinnie. Haha what a joke. Tort would’ve got his lights punched out. Vinnie was pretty tough for a star player.
mustaches are strange, eh?
Torts is a dinosaur. An American Viktor Tikhonov. That archaic strongarm weight of coaching doesn't fly with today's Young generation of players.
That's why Torts never lasts very long with teams.
What did that mad man try now lol
Noticed there's a big liquor shortage out here in BC this week. I had to run in and get a few pops, but passed the Vodka isle, and it was bare accept for Pink Whitney's which was fully stocked, lol Shit must be grows.
“Shit must be grows”
-Tard
Vinny is French, he’s retreat from a fight every time
He fought Jarome Iginla, so ...
This is such an OLD, WORN OUT joke! Use that old grey thing in your skull, to think of something original! Besides, French-Canadiens are NOT the same as the French people! there has been 300 yrs since they have evolved in different directions!
Torts reminds me of the late Pat Burns when it comes to coaching. Their no nonsense tough guy approach puts the players on their heels when they first come in. That usually leads to short term success but then the message and style wears thin on the players and they tune them out.
They should just let the players beat some sense into him. Just imagine how bad an NHL player would kick that grumpy old mans ass? It boggles my mind how he keeps getting contracts being so poison.
LOL WTF are you talking about.
@@moappleseider1699 He tried to fight players all the time. What game was he trying to go into the other teams dressing room after their enforcer? Anyways they shouldn't hold the players back and just let them kick his ass. He deserves it too.
@@peiguy1982 The coach had fire when his players had none! These players are multi-million dollar cry babies now, unfortunately We bring in all the european-style players, and along with more scoring we get a bunch of pampered princesses!
Torts is a clown.
