We know him, John Tortorella has never had his tongue in his pocket. He always has something to say. We can never blame him for his lack of honesty.
Not long ago, remember he claimed he had major concerns regarding his dressing room. According to him, the lack of leadership is real. Since his claims, have things changed in Philadelphia? The answer is no.
Sure enough, at his last press conference this followingnoon, he said “he hasn’t found anything good” since he’s been the team’s head coach. This one has no identity either.
It’s not because he changed his organization that John Tortorella lost his frankness and outspokenness!???? pic.twitter.com/RIAQL1MKOT

It will be a difficult year in the city of brotherly love. The Flyers aren’t necessarily the favorites in the Metropolitan Division. The loss of several important leaders, including Claude Giroux last year, Sean Couturier and Ryan Ellis for much of the 2022-2023 season, will hurt.
The news is good concerning Couturier, but his absence is felt as much on the ice as in the locker room.
And what’s not going to help the team this season are their fans. We know Philadelphia fans: they are not patient. Whether it’s the Eagles (NFL), the Phillies (MLB) or the Flyers, they don’t want an uncompetitive club.
Yesterday was the Flyers’ home opener at the Wells Fargo Center. The orange team won once morest the Devils, but during the presentation of the players, fans booed injured Ryan Ellis.
It’s true that paying so much (Nolan Patrick and Philippe Myers) to acquire a guy who has only played four games since last year is disappointing, but have more respect than that, fans from Philly…
As for John Tortorella, I wonder if his speech will change by the end of the year.
A lot of
