Torts is one of the toughest head coaches in history of the sport.
Scott Hartnell one of the greatest Flyers blessed us with a podcast episode about what it's like to have John as your head coach.
"Torts came in and it was like an overhaul," said Hartnell with wide eyes and a grin on his face. "He's a character, he's demanding, mentally he will tear you down into nothing and then he will build everybody back up the same way."
Hartnell continued by relating a specific bad encounter he had with Tortorella.
"Next game my number is not on the lineup for practice," said Hartnell. "So I'm the extra forward, feel stupid obviously one of my first times being healthy scratched after 1100 games. So I go and talk to him and we kind of had it out a little bit and he goes 'I appreciate you coming in here and talking to me like a man.'"

This is great, loved watching Hartnell with the CBJ.
