Tortorella Storms Out Of Post-Game Press After Being Asked A Ridiculous Question
Flyers coach John Tortorella, known for his fiery demeanor, didn't disappoint tonight as he abruptly exited his post-game press conference following a single inquiry.
The question that sparked Tortorella's fury was about goaltender
Felix Sandstrom's performance, who conceded three goals on just 14 shots. Despite the Flyers' commendable effort, Tortorella couldn't hide his frustration, particularly with the goaltending that led to their defeat.
During the press conference, Tortorella didn't offer much besides pounding his hands on the table, indicating his dissatisfaction with Sandstrom's struggles. His departure occurred in less than 30 seconds.
This incident adds to Tortorella's recent troubles, including a previous ejection where he refused to leave, resulting in a hefty suspension and fine. The pressure of the playoff race seems to have reignited Tortorella's intense nature.
Since losing their starting goalie
Carter Hart, the Flyers' goaltending situation has been shaky. While
Samuel Ersson has admirably held the fort, he's in need of rest after shouldering a heavy workload.
With Sandstrom faltering, it wouldn't be surprising if the Flyers make a move to bolster their goaltending depth from the minors, as Tortorella's trust in Sandstrom appears to have waned significantly.
