Post game news conference on CBC. April 20, 2007 After the New Jersey Devils beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-0 to take the lead in the series 3-2. No 7 second delay on CBC. :)
Torts is the man....dont take shit....a real boss....dont give a fuck about stars who dont give 100 percent....we are all whine babies when it comes to ......hes a legend....quit knoking the man down pussies.....any team should take him.
@Richard Drolet Yeah interesting the Rangers got rid of him. The next couple years it looked like a good decision, but now it appears to have been the wrong move.
I love interviews with this guy. Tortorella has such a temper. But I guess the game needs somebody like that. He's the most serious person I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever seen him with a smile on his face.
If anyone in the comments section ever gets interviewed by your local television station or by anyone else regarding a situation that happened to you or witnessed, just remember to follow Torts' approach.
Because it's awesome to see a guy show that much emotion in interviews. I'm tired of seeing boring interviews with coaches that give the same old song and dance about why the lost the game. Tortorella has emotion and fire in him, and it's both awesome and hilarious. Is he the best coach? No. Is he hilarious to listen to? Yes.
Brooksie telling Tortorella to fuck off and walking away is literally the greatest moment of live television ever. The guy to Tort's right just quietly realizing that just happened is icing on the cake
this is the best press conference ever. we know what we did. the reaction of the two reporters (tall one early and fat one late) are awesome. k-see ya.
I'm a former hockey writer, covering college and Junior B. It's extremely rare that I'll side with a subject rather than a member of the media; this is one of those times. Brooks had no business telling Torts to fuck off, even if he was a frustrating interview. "We know what we did" is a usable quote, anyway.
Living in NYC I like to see Torts take on Knicks Beat Reporters Frank Isola of NYDN and Marc Berman of NYP. Some Knicks fans don't like Isola and Berman. Torts vs Serby, Gary Myers or I dare say Mike Lupica. Torts is the man to pre/post game press conference.
