John Tortorella reacts to Kyle Beach coming forward as 'John Doe' | The Point 

even a shit human being would know sexual assault is wrong. To cover it up is evil. Torts is a good guy, just a hardass sometimes but he has good intentions

I hope he finds a job coaching again.

@@kylepollock9712 hopefully it’s in Toronto to help clean up Kyle Doofus’ mess

@@kylepollock9712 apparently he is replacing Q in Florida

@Chad Kaiser couple good sources say so. Could be wrong though

Torts for president bro.

I'm not sure I would give him the benefit of the doubt. The way he criticizes his own players and media publicly....you really think he's a decent human being? It's easy to say what the Blackhawk coaches and management should have done. It's a different story when you're in that position. If you're going to give respect and props, give it to Paul Vincent, the skills coach.... who reported the assault to the proper people and further requested the team fire Aldridge and immediately report the incident to the sex crimes unit of the Chicago police

Go after the players ESPERANTO KANE AND TOEWES. THEY HELPED TO COVER IT UP!!!!!!!

Straight up!

Tortorelli will take whatever position he deems necessary to keep all his options open for the future cause coaching and broadcasting aint no long term propositions. If you think the hawks the nhl hockey night in canada or tortorelli give a crap about this guy you are naive. They only care about their brand and image.

Yep. Torts, the coach, maybe not as likeable but you have to respect torts, the man.

Same, I don't know why so many people hate Tortorella. I've always liked his no bullshit attitude.

You could say that and other can say he just gave in to the pressure of the loud cancel culture. He chose to back down to fight another day. You could say that…….

It just shows the pressure placed on people to conform

@@windycityblackhawks he didn’t get roasted over the fire for that take. he walked it back on his own over a year later. He did not bend a knee to anything. Watching him in columbus for so long you could very well tell he doesn’t let anyone force a point of view on him.

@ Windy City Hockey supports enabling a child rapist….

@@evanlist8378 My favourite thing about Torts is that he says what he thinks, and he's taken financial penalties to do it. That alone would make me proud if he was part of my team.

there was one person. That was Paul Vincent, the Skills Coach. He reported the assault to the proper people and further requested the team fire Aldridge and immediately report the incident to the sex crimes unit of the Chicago police. He was denied higher level coaches, as well as upper management. For you to say Good on Torts for saying what should have been done isn't giving proper props to Vincent. It's a hell lot easier for Torts, who's been known as a bully himself" to say stuff now. Can you imagine what it would have been like for Vincent?

My budddy and I said the same thing. What if it was their son or daughter that this happened to? You better believe the cops would have been called in. Torts is right and always speaks the truth.

I guess management thought hidden sexual assault was the extra motivation needed to win the cup. handing Aldrich to the cops would have crushed their spirits?

@@yeltsin6817 how about being the parents of the young kid up in Michigan who was abused by Aldrich after the blackhawks incident?

@@joc8092 this whole situation is a repeat story of the Penn state football incident with coach Jerry Sandusky. The lack of integrity and leadership within the blackhawks is disgusting.

Agreed . I can also picture him working in law as a judge

@@petergraell7277 he looks like a judge for real lol.

@@texasguy5377 he would be on court cam within a week

The man takes fines from the NHL to speak his mind and isn't afraid to tear into anyone. After the Play-in he tore reporters apart for what they said about Keefe. I was actually surprised the NHL didn't fine him haha. "I just can't get over people ripping Sheldon Keefe and his staff, as far as the job he's done with that Maple Leafs team. They have done a terrific job with that team. This was after the series and all that ... some of the things I read, some of the things I watched last night ... half the pundits in this city think they know about the game, but they really don't. It just pisses me off for a fellow coach in this league, and I know it's Toronto, a great city, great hockey town, love being here. But some of the things that he's criticized for are beyond belief, and it just shows that people have no clue what's going on in this game. I just want to support him. I'm glad we won, but I want to support him because I think him and his staff have done a terrific job with that hockey club. Thank you."

He’s only saying that now so that he doesn’t get cancelled. He said 4 years ago that he would bench any player that kneeled during the national anthem.

This.

Same.

I was legit surprised

I think he has great values and is a stand up guy. He is a stern hockey coach and not the best in every team. 0 bs with him. Just his demand sometimes is too high and his adaptability to some of his material isnt the greatest.

Yes, this crap would never happen under Torts. The only player that had an issue was Luongo but it was strictly over playing time (heritage classic, haha). The rest of his ex players had good things to say. The Sedins don't lie. I could actually see him back in Van considering the Sedins are front office now. If the season goes sideways, looks like it might.

when championships are more valuable than peoples lives.

He went to Notre Dame after the Hawks fired him, He then went to Univ. of Ohio Miami who fired him for making advances on 2 players there. Then he got the volunteer job at the HS.

Contrary to some reports, the Hawks did not give him a positive recommendation. Legally all you are you are required to do is give dates of service, position and salary. Saying anything negative leaves you open to lawsuits, so most ex employers just provide the minimum of what's required.

@@fubartotale3389 the letter of recommendation has not been proved or disproved. As per page 64 of the jenner and block report.

Chicago BITCHhawks. How are you gonna commend someone's bravery for speaking out when the same guy is SUING YOU for trying to cover the abuse and not doing shit about it.

THAT was the BEST reply! That says it all!

There's a good chance Beach isn't telling the whole truth here. They investigated it internally and the video coach denied that it wasn't consensual.

@@bc1173 Do you also disbelievingly question women saying, they "probably wanted it?"

@@blackandgold676 Nope.

I dont believe a word of it!!!!

Well said I respect the shit out of torts

@@vancouver3312 I do now. I think he is a guy if you had him on your side you love him for his passion. Proud of him now.

I think your jumping the gun a bit. Could you remember something from 10 years ago? If Quenneville doesn’t remember, he doesn’t remember

@@bapjap you can't remember a player saying he was raped 10 yrs later? BS. Plus let's say he forgot... still BS. However how did he keep silent when it happened. He clearly said he didn't want it disrupting their playoff run. He forgot that same day? No jumping of guns. Just Q covering his ass playing dumb on the subject.

You respect Torts until you one day find out he might have secrets too. That's not respect at all, that's just seeing what you want to see.

it will never change they said it would change when sheldon kennedy came out about abuse , then the david frost keffe thing keefe still coaching the leafs , until they get rid of bettman and some of the nhl excutives it will keep happening and if im not mistaken the ducks even mentionned something about him before he was with chicago so teams and the nhl were aware of it and did nothing

@@donniedoesdishes I knew about the David Frost incident a little when it happened but didn’t know about Sheldon Keefe’s involvement. That is crazy!! Thanks for the information and you are making some great points. It’s been a dark week for the NHL.

he was correct about the Sedins and current player mindsets..,they need to move on... very objective

Some of John Tortorella's passion would do the present day Canucks a lot of good. I say bring him back! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mOjWuviST3c.html

I think he'd do way better with the current Canucks group. Luongo going prima donna didn''t help Torts one bit.

@@robeh2505 I'm not sure that I want to see Petersen blocking shots on the PK... Lol

Damn right

David as I scanned thru these that's exactly what I was thinking..

I think the only problem is that Florida might beat them to the punch because the Blackhawks are taking too long to replace Colliton.

@@juniorjewels7545 I don't think Florida wants Torts to be the head coach. Sure he goes way back wil Bill Zito but we have Duclair, Bob who aren't the greatest advocates of Torts to begin with and just the mere fact that his coaching style does not match with the way Panthers are playing right now. He would implement a wholly different system.

I agree

"Then-executives"? You got that right, what a joke.

of course they would sweep

And did you see the way Torts glowed about Barkov in the top 25 players video? I think he’d be great as the Panthers’ coach

I salute you, Kyle, and all survivors for your bravery. It should never get this point for anyone.

Fellow survivor. I couldn't be more proud of Kyle's bravery.

Chevy of the Jets will likely be resigning tomorrow as well after meeting with Bettman. These 7 dwarfs who did nothing will be out of hockey forever because their decision to do nothing about the sexual assault, simply sweeping Kyle under the rug have tarnished the whole professional game!

To Cliff, Janie, and all survivors: I admire you greatly, and I hope that peace and happiness find you.

The investigation is basically over. It's more about the consequences now.

Never liked Bettman. All he sees are dollar signs (not diversity, race, gender and fluidity, age and activism, etc… these are all threats to the bottom dollar, er, line). He is getting rid of all the best aspects of the game and ushering in an all for profit mentality. Disgusting and now here we are.
