Back in 2013 I went to a Toronto vs Philly preseason game. I'm from Toronto huge flyers fan, my friend spots Hartnell down watching from the side and so I went down and was so nervous. I went up asked for a picture and he honestly had the biggest smile on his face he asked me if I was a fan and talked to me for about a minute. He is the best hockey player i've ever met in terms of kindness and being respectful towards fans. Huge huge huge respect for him glad to have watched him a few times live.
My friend lived near Detroit and was at a rink where Chris Chelios was watching his son play hockey. He said he and his friend walked up to Chelios just to say they were fans and Chelios refused to even look their way lol. I wish all NHLers could be as cool as Hartnell
@@Godlikegren Oh man! Sorry to hear your friend had a bad experience. I can definitely relate some NHL players have just scoffed when asking for an autograph or picture. Hartnell is definitely a beauty
I was at Flyers/Rangers Game 7 at the Garden in '14. I'm decked out in my Bobby Clarke throwback jersey. During the warmup skate, Hartnell sees me and, without even asking throws a puck up to me ! It's a Rangers puck, with their logo on it but so what, it's a cool souvenir. Scotty is a Champ !
@@frankmacy1879 Amazing story thanks for sharing Frank!
@@Godlikegren I went to the same high school as him. Mount Carmel. Not at the same time though.
Scott hartnell, Claude giroux, and Voracek are like the three stages of the pokemon.
💀
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
😂..haha..oranges
Anyone else on a torts story kick??? Can’t get enough! Love the guy
This is great - loved watching Hartnell with the CBJ.
That story about Torts telling Hartnell he's always out of position on defense then retracting the statement after watching film really speaks volumes. When he coached the Rangers, I followed the team obsessively, and I thought he made a lot of boneheaded, prejudiced decisions like that - decisions that were informed by his feelings rather than by objective reality or the stats. That aside, I liked him as a coach. He was always fun and interesting. His press conferences were worth watching.
One would think a coach at NHL-level knows how to watch a game and the players, process what they eyes sees.
Ranger fan here. Torts is great for the first two years wherever he goes. He's great at getting everyone's attention right away and getting the team to play as a team. Years 3-4 or more begin to grate on the players big time and then he wears out his welcome. Albeit he won the cup in Tampa, but he still is a grating coach overall and at this point only good for turning around bad franchises.
@@josephgiulini9711 The problem I had with Torts with the Blueshirts was he was way too content with a small lead, especially in the playoffs, and it was frustrating when he would "park the bus" when one more goal would have made things easier for all concerned.
@@joetriolo9161 Joe, I totally agree with you. It was maddening to watch that. The best defence is a great forecheck.
@@johanf9279 Dude you sayin this tells me you don't know life at all! All the people in high places make wrong decisions based on the their feelings, assumptions, attitude at the time.
Scotty Harts! Loved him as a Flyer!
“I owe you an apology. We looked at every shift and you havent been out of position once. I just don’t trust you” 🤣 that’s tough
IKR, like WTF am I supposed to do?
Maybe he should have asked Torts if he could change the oil in his car to gain his trust.
Finally a five year coach to build and rebuild,seems all the good coaches come to Philly over the years.Glad torts is coming good things will happen no doubts about that a classy Coach and a worthy one at that.Everywhere he coached he did well,I watched every team including rangers.Now can watch him in my favorite team coach.Go Flyers
Scott Hartnell , vålenga Hockey hockey 🤙🥇👌
Love Scotty!
Gotta say.Loved him in ''This is 40'',with the curly ginga.
I'm not a Flyer fan but this is a good move for a few years. He won't last through the rebuild, but he'll get them playing hard for sure.
i wish i could get these on Spotify...... i alwyas liked Cote and the role and game he played, plus hes easy to listen to
D rated podcast so it won’t be on Spotify
Torts gotta be my favorite coach. Hope to see him lift another cup
Absolutely my favorite coach. No bullshit, all business, all heart.
Torts is what you call a vocalist in the professional hockey league amongst coaches 😆
4:17 is hysterical 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Idk if Torts will be able to bring a cup here to Philly but I do know this team needs that kick in the ass and accountability factor. I also want to see a team that is hard to play against and will play for each other. That's something I definitely believe Torts can and will do for this team. I love hockey and love the Flyers. I just want to see them be good again! Tired of watching bad hockey and my team be considered bottom tier in the league.
Let's make the playoffs before the Stanley Cup talk starts!!!
Hartnell/Carcillo/Asham was my favorite era of the Phillies.
Best of luck .
John Tortorella has a comedians delivery. I was thinking he acts pretty weird for a Canadian but found out he is from the Boston Area which makes more sense.
When the BJ played the Leafs at home in the round robin for a playoff spot in Toronto..We had the better team but I knew Tort was the more superior coach compared to Keefe and I knew we were not beating them. I still believe that Keefe isn't the right fit, but Tort is a great coach and would do great for Maple Leaf fans.
Torts the Coach is the equivalent of a pragmatic Angry Asian Dad with complete disregard of others’ feelings and laser-like focus on the bottom line: doing things the right way and winning.
Torts is a pro. He’s not psychotic like Keenan, because he doesn’t tend to harbor actual malice against players. Coaches are allowed to use gut instinct even if the data isn’t backing it. Feel matters sometimes.
I always wanted the Kings to trade for Hartnall, I liked his play. But here's a thought, what do you think about Hartnall as a coach on Tortorella's staff?
Guy on the far right with the trucker lid totally looks and sounds like Jeff Ament
dude aged 10 years since cutting his hair
Not being a Flyers fan, screw the team. I can't wait to see the Torts/Media battles!
Wish Torts came to Dallas
This is either going to be a really good idea or the worst. I seem to remember a lot of contention between this org and this coach many years ago.
If they close this deal with Torts, I hope he whips this soft team into shape and holds all accountable for every shift. Enough of the half-assed effort, blowing leads, not showing up in the first 10 mins, miserable play in the 2nd period, and non-existent defense.
Would have loved to see how he handled Giroux's weak leadership and inconsistent efforts.
You're a closer Flyers fan
4 year deal.
Will Torts continue to play that Ristoleinen character 26 minutes a night?
This is gonna be Vancouver all over again.
Flyers brass needs to let Torts do his job. They have been holding this team back for years and Torts is going to need at least 2 years before we sniff the playoffs.
Great interview I loved hearing how Torts likes to rip veteran asses to get a little more out of em’
TJ Oshie has done a great job upholding the legacy of falling down for no reason since Hartnell retired.
Couldn't be better timing! Torts to Philly. Can't wait to see him cut up the soft mentality players on the team. Enough with being inconsistent.
Too had he wasn't there with Giroux so he could whip Captain Cream Puff into shape.
^^^^ I’m no religious man boys but - a! Fken MEN!
@@thewasp7324 nice take you clown.
@@Mccringleberry24 Since Giroux was so soft, he could have used someone to help him man up.
@@thewasp7324 brutal take lol fucking loser
hi scott
When his time is up as head coach, they need to keep him in the organization and eventually get ride of Fletcher. Fletcher actually had the audacity to say, at the beginning of last season,that the Flyers had a good nucleus of players to build around. Can’t make this stuff up folks.
As an Alaskan, always wondered what happened to Brandon Dubinsky from my Alaska???
He was finished after fighting with Kassian. Went downhill from there.
@@thebighurt3172 Makes sense now, because I heard Dubinsky had a wrist injury that kept him out all of Last season! He was a great forechecking guy, and tough guy! Alaskan pride!!!😉👍
@@troyottosen8722 NY Ranger Fan here. Loved every minute when Dubinsky was here. I’ll include Scott Gomez and Matt Carle for Alaska’s hockey products too 👍
@@thebighurt3172 I watched Gomez play high school hockey here in Anchorage Ak before he went to play a year in the whl , then directly to the nhl to New Jersey, in 99, was nhl rookie of the year, went to the all star team and won the Stanley cup in his first year!!! By the way Matt Carle brother David from Anchorage is now the head coach at Denver university, who just won the college ncaa championship this recent April!😳😉👍
I don't play pro anything,but in my world I can't work for someone that doesn't believe in my ability,it's not that I don't take direction it's that I put my heart into it ,and if that's not enough I'm out !!
When’s the last time Philly won the cup again? I can’t remember
1975
Torts is exactly what this organization needs right now. We’re too soft and inconsistent to win in the NHL. That’s about to change!
I hate the guy but I think you're 100% right on here.
That’s exactly what I thought as a Canucks fan when they brought him in. I don’t know the Flyers roster, though, but, that’s going to largely determine what happens going forward.
Sh*t we need him in Dallas the Stars are way too soft.
WE NEED HIM OR A COMPLETE REPLICA OF TORTZ HERE IN TORONTO... ACCOUNTIBILITY FOR THESE OVER-PAID STIFFS ON MY LEAFS...
Love reading this braindead take one year later
it's a good think flyers roster is not loaded with skilled players cause the first thing he "Tortorella" is gonna do is turned them all into shot blocking D-man😁
Which is clearly working for Tampa
@@batt7945 r u comparing Tampa's roster to flyers lol no skill player wants to play for him every skill player on the Columbus team asked to be traded or didn't resign with the team🙄
Torts is a perfect coach to start a rebuild under. Now I don’t know if he can lead a team to another Stanley cup unless he changes his dump in style hockey. But he definitely instills Character into his players. He’s in my favorite top 5 coaches of all time.
The more I watch modern hockey the more I pray dump and chase comes back. Every team tries this 1 on 5 entry now or awful slingshot move. Nobody knows how to forecheck anymore.
@@Gravy_Jones22 as a wings fan believe me, you don’t want to play dump and chase
@@Gravy_Jones22 flames
i scott hartnell its trevorlaplante from prince albert sask
I love torts he’s not soft I love him he belongs in Philly
Fastest way to start the rebuild…
Please get Joe Sakic on the show
the problem with Torts is the fans. he has a job to do and does not have the love affair that fans have with players. if you are not performing, Torts will give another player the chance to get into the lineup and step up. Paul Maurice and Winnipeg are the opposite. A coach who lets the players run and ruin the team and a ton of players wasting away in the AHL.
Torts is my favourite coach in the NHL
Did you hear the flyers got a new coach? Yup! Fast forward one year! You hear the flyers got a new head coach? Yup! Last 47 years with the flyers? Rinse and repeat!
supposedly edmonton had a deal to trade souray who wasn't a happy camper, to philly for scotty who had had an NT but agreed, and between lowe and tambellini they effed it up and the deal didn't get done. would have loved to see scotty in edmonton, but maybe it makes the team better, they don't get in the lottery, & no connor. as good as cmac has been, still no results, tho.
it would take Torts a minimum of 2 yrs to turn this team around. By then, he'll have worn out his welcome in Philly...
Vancouver is definitely nodding its collective head right now
I'm just kind of mad Philly replaced AV with a dude with a way worse win loss record than AV. Torts is an absolute clown when it comes to Hockey itself, but I like how crazy he gets. It'll be interesting for sure.
Hartsy and Simmer were meant to be Flyers
Hartsy, Simmer, G, Coots & Hexy
Hextall......... WHat a GM!.... Just joking, but he's a better GM ill ever be.
I told the NHL to drop dead when they went woke like every other sports organization, so I don't follow the Flyers nearly as closely as I used to. Basically I'll just watch highlights from time to time.
That said, I always hated John Tortorella with a passion, just as a person. I hate his guts. But this could be one of those Mike Keenan situations, where the reasons I hate him could be exactly what help the Flyers start to win some games. And if that's the case, it will be most welcome. My feelings toward him aside, I think he's exactly what this team needs right now.
I'm with you. I used to love watching, following pro sports. Now, I can hardly stomach watching 5 minutes of any of them. They all lost me as a fan for good with their woke crap.
The woke is everywhere, but everyone is secretly sick of it and rolling their eyes. It will end one way or another
@@frankmacy1879 Amen. Seriously, it's ridiculous. People used to turn to sports and whatnot to get away from all that crap! Now we're just bombarded with it everywhere we go! Uugghh it's sick!
Is Tortorella the right man for this job. We need an offensive minded coach
Torts 🤡 called out Hartnell because he wasn’t in a proper defensive position. 😂
Hartnell leaving Philly was the true beginning of the downfall of the Flyers. One of the worst trades of all time and makes me sick to think about it. Scotty was the best in Philly.
torts is the type of coach that can take a team with no personality or style, and give the team a purpose, philly could use that right now, they look lost.
Underrated comment. Agree
Tortz sounds just as bad as I thought he was. If he benches/scratches a player incorrectly due to emotion, he is not a good coach - this is the definition of a bad coach. Coaches should be using evidence to make decisions, not their gut feelings - that brings in a world of bias.
Also, punishing players for making mistakes is a not an effective way to teach players. It might even work at first, but eventually the abuse gets to them mentally and you've lost them entirely.
In both cases, it just sounds like Tortz isn't actually coaching. A Coach needs to provide leadership and mentoring. It doesn't sound like Tortz is doing that at all.
How many times are NHL teams going to keep swapping out Vigs and Torts and not learn their lessons, man. This is such a Comcast move to get asses back in the seats.
He may try to turn TK into Coots when he's not....lol.
He should go to Toronto to teach those panty waists some respect and work ethic!
He would rip the media apart whiles he is at it.The owners couldn’t have that.But I agree,he is what the Buds need,a coach who expects his players to be accountable to their position and teammates .👍
I truly believe if the Leafs hadn't started against Tampa, they could have done something. Tampa was the worst team they could meet in the first round.
Bird Dogg should have wasted one right at Torts on a clearing pass after the fourth in five. With 1,100 NHL games under his breezers, he could have easily sold it.
I imagine this
Torts to Mcdavid : “Yeah… I..don’t trust your fucking feet there….Flippy…”
Mcdavid : “I scored tho”.
Torts : “That’s not the fuckin point, now is it McMuffin….”
🤣😭🤣🚨💀
SO wait did that effect his record?? like torts but that type of ignorance can lose repect and games IT shouldnt have from nhl standpoint last I checked. Chrst its like benching Favre
Torts. He sure wasn't very good in Vancouver!
Hartnell a Flyer legend ? That's a bit of a stretch hey ?
Maybe it was his hair?😄
Philly players all have diarrhea from stress right now…..
You can bet Cam Atkinson has spread the word about Torts to his teammates!
Ok...now, onto the Front Office, which seems to avoid any changes and upgrades. Management thinks that changing coaches every 3-4 years will fix this fractured organization...not gonna happen. There are ex-Flyers in Drafting/Scouting/Player Development/Ticket Sales who bring no value to the club, and have no business being there. Their impact (if you want to call it that) in the draft is blatantly obvious, with the continued failed drafts that we have experienced over nearly the past 10 years. Where's the sense of urgency? There is none! That 'sense' that is taking over this club? COMPLACENCY.
Several coaches came and went during this past decade...but Bob Clarke, Paul Holmgren and a 'cast of thousands' are still here...Why? We all know that Fletcher will exit at some time...but fear not...Danny Briere (an ex-Flyer, surprise, surprise) is ready to take over. Again...Why?
Torts is gonna need a lot of help to fix this mess. Someone of Authority in the Front Office better get a clue...Fast.
Trotz was the best pick. That he turned down the offer doesn't surprise me. He realized the Flyers fans want players who work hard, work hard, muckers and grinders, from Canada, fight at the drop of a hat, etc. EVERYTHING THAT ENEDED IN 1974 WHEN THEY WON THE CUP!!! Anyone watching the Cup finals can see how far away they are. Speed and goaltending win. Physicality, fighting and digging for pucks is ancient history
BOBBY CLARKE IS GOD!!!
ALL HAIL MR. SNIDER!!!
1974-75 WILL NEVER END!!!
THE NHL AND OFFICIALS ARE AGAINST THE FLYERS!!!
Absolute disgrace
My guy, you’re stuck in a time machine of 50 years ago. That’s not how you win in the league anymore. Flyers fans are such clowns! There’s a reason the Flyers haven’t won a cup since then.
@@SurfinCowboy5615 I agree with you 100%, I am mocking the current fans.
@@jimdellavecchia4594 LOL! You fooled me, because that’s literally how Flyers fans talk. Well played🤙
If barry trotz does decide to coach this year, I hope the flyers do better than that team.
T
The hiring of Torts is three years late
This pod wants to be chiclets so badly
lol is there only allowed to be one hockey podcast in existence?
@@NastyKnuckles don’t listen to these bums
God damn, Scotty got old. Look at those white stubbies ans beer gut. What is he now, 50?
40 lol
lol torts aint doing nothing for any team; philli will stay where they are; 2nd choice lol
Who cares about Tortorella. What happened with him and Sheena Parveen?
So glad Crosby & Malkin prevented this guy from hoisting a cup 🤣
Too bad they're both hasbins now.. ain't nothing going to be hoisted up in Pittsburgh for a long time coming.
@@Jiggs2u2 yet those has beens still contend
@@ProudAmericanValdez contending and winning cups are two different things
@@Jiggs2u2 3 cups. they have won 3.
@@ProudAmericanValdez I know.. I'm saying they won't win another.
Grew up in philly,..flyers fan my ENTIRE life...ownership SUCKS!!!.. coaching carousel SUCKS!!. this team is horrific...an embarrassment to the city,and legacy of the flyers..sell the team to someone who wants to win!!. Tired of all thr excuses!!!!
Torts is a coach not a babysitter. Even though these players are pros they can still be childish, immature, selfish and unmotivated. I remember a tournament final I coached 25 years ago where I sat a player the whole game because I knew if he went on we would lose. To this day I still feel bad but I did what needed to be done to win. Now a days they don’t even keep score.
Lmao
