JOHN TORTORELLA TRIED TO FIST FIGHT VINCENT LECAVALIER 

crazy how the lightning did it again the covid year too lol.

@@kevinthompson5461 not really? Stevie Y built that team from the bottom up and stacked them. The current GM literally had to do nothing to win those 2 cups recently.

@@AshtrayAnnie I didn't say anything about the gm??? Was just stating that the team won the cup while staying together in a hotel.

@@AshtrayAnnie apart from putting that third line together..

@@nettleleaves8224 and yet look how much of a hand he still had in those players on the 3rd line for both ships haha

Yeah a buddy of mine compared him to Capt. Sobel from Band of Brothers the other day. He may be an SOB but he made the majority of the players under him better.

@@moappleseider1699 he def does elevate his players level of play. Gotta play good to keep him off yr ass

Sobel was a buffoon who bullied people under him and used their success to make himself look good. Kubrick would be a better comparison. He was competent and made people better for the sake of the cause.

@@ronaldkonkoma4356 Yeah that maybe true but most of the guys in E company agree that he was a great trainer. Also Stephen E Ambrose only interviewed a hand full of E company soldiers who were already pretty old. It's a great show, but don't take it for 100% truthful history.

I'm aware of the feelings that he contributed to their success but it's his motives and manner that I believe make that an apples to oranges

The ends though don't justify the means. Dude hasn't won anything in almost 20 years.

Scotty Bowman tried to fight players ? Scotty Bowman told media to GTFO ?

@@justinlast2lastharder749 Its a players league now! The pampered players push GOOD coaches like Torts out before he can get success or cry to the GM!

I think he's referring to the hotel thing. If I'm not mistaken Bowman did that for all four (76-79) Cups. Don't think Bowman ever fought with players. He was pretty controlled emotionally.​@@daveyboy_

Only one season on the Hawks but will be remembered forever!

also true

I was hoping the Oilers would of picked up Torts.

Fletcher will be fired this year,,,,,then the new gm will fire torts

Good take

@@BRIANDER100 Probably lol.

Spent a lot of years 5+ as head coach of 3 different teams. No reason to think he won’t be with Philly long term

Don’t forget the lil guy

A) Richards was playing along side the #1 pick, and many believed he was just riding the coat tails, as Richards was a late bloomer B) What do you think has changed in scouting from then until now?

@@charlisantini3403 well im just shocked he didnt go higher despite playing with Lecavalier, he produced great numbers.. look who went in the top 15... Jeff Heerema, just over a point per game in his draft year, Rico Fata, another guy with similar numbers, look up Michael Henrich... i just cant believe that guys scouting Lecavalier would overlook another great talent right infront of them

@@Gwarismetal I mean in all fairness, Vinny was an *exceptional* talent. You've heard the age old saying "the guy was so good he made great players look average"? Well there you go. Now, I'm not saying that was the case with Richards necessarily, but it wouldn't remotely surprise me if they just saw Richards as a prime roleplayer in tandem with a future superstar. Don't get me wrong though, I do think scouting even today is still some trash for the most part, but guys smarter than I are the ones in charge of it so I won't tell them they're doing their job straight up wrong 😂

@@Gwarismetal Richards was elite while on Tampa. After he left he put up good but not mind blowing numbers. He under preformed for the rest of his career compared to the money he was getting paid. I'm not saying he wasn't a good player, he was, but he's a tad over rated at the same time.

"how the fuck did brad richards go in the 3rd round #64 overall?" Datsyuk laughs

Bro it's going to be a rough 1-3 yrs. I was watching the World Juniors thinking Canada or Finland could beat the Flyers.

@@superflyers148 Yup They have minimum 2 lossing years ahead of them. Thats why i dont understand why Torts would want this job

@@superflyers148 honestly seems like it'll be longer than that with the direction of the current management, honestly the flyers get bedard.

@@anthonycarchidi4704 do you work because you need money or do you work because you like to?

Torts only lasted one season here in Vancouver. He tried to enter the visitors locker room and fight Calgary's coach after a game.

Security will stop itbefore it happens, but wouldnt shock me! Philly fans are about as close to wild animals living in captivity as we will ever see! I say this with the utmost respect, as i lived near Philly for 15 yrs, so got rather acquainted with the place!

No, not Guy Boucher

Yes it’s Brad Richards. Torts was in Tampa from 01-08. It was his first full time head coaching job and he coached more games for the Lightning than any other team.

Brad Richards

how is Bednar similar to Torts

huh

Maybe go to around the 4-minute-mark and re-listen ?

@@sonlover62 maybe go to LITERALLY THE ENTIRE REST OF THE VIDEO and listen again

@@ajstrauss55 that's how they get people to click on a video that wouldn't otherwise have a title people would want to click on. I believe it's called click bait?

@@sonlover62 He's just daft. You're kicking water uphill talking sense to these plebs.

@@ajstrauss55 … “THE ENTIRE REST OF THE VIDEO…” Ah! Gotcha. You mean everything OTHER than where it DOES mention the incident! Tx, ‘tips.’

“Shit must be grows” -Tard

He fought Jarome Iginla, so ...

This is such an OLD, WORN OUT joke! Use that old grey thing in your skull, to think of something original! Besides, French-Canadiens are NOT the same as the French people! there has been 300 yrs since they have evolved in different directions!

LOL WTF are you talking about.

@@moappleseider1699 He tried to fight players all the time. What game was he trying to go into the other teams dressing room after their enforcer? Anyways they shouldn't hold the players back and just let them kick his ass. He deserves it too.

@@peiguy1982 The coach had fire when his players had none! These players are multi-million dollar cry babies now, unfortunately We bring in all the european-style players, and along with more scoring we get a bunch of pampered princesses!
