John Tortorella news conference

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. :)

[@antimurphy8212]

"Then get the fuck out of here!" 🤣 CLASSIC!

[@chrisgillman1162]

K see ya 😂

[@harderman306]

Best part was uncensored on CBC too

[@PhillyPhil02]

This is the greatest post game conference in existence.

[@obeyy0urmaster]

It’s really good but up there is Jim mora and Mike singletary can’t do it

[@ipostaveragecomments7865]

13 years later, still wishing I seen this live.

[@27Capn]

Classic. Torts is a hot head for sure, but he's good entertainment.

[@antimurphy8212]

Solid coach! You wish your loser team had him.

[@JordanG4117]

@@antimurphy8212 Calm the fuck down bud

[@richarddrolet7746]

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.

[@joeydoherty368]

@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.

[@Vestu]

And a good coach.

[@donaldlusk2035]

Tortorella vs Brooksie is comic gold.

[@elmalevojj]

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.

[@Sebastian-km9qx]

Torts and Brooksie are the best of friends 😂

[@Har19]

He's my dream coach, dude rules.

[@cobra1376]

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.

[@pillowpants2006]

i love how ur talking to yourself on youtube during the game . peace brah

[@squallFF9]

JOHN TORTORELLA IS A BEAST!!!

[@20CentPat]

24/7 is going to be awesome with him this year!

[@TheOptimod]

Brooksie always calls out Tortorella and makes him look silly.

[@longliverocknroll5]

No, Brooksie always says stupid shit and Tortorella makes him look stupid. Larry Brooks is one of the worst hockey reporters in the game.

[@rightcoast7049]

One of them makes millions a year, and it ain't Brooksie

[@matthurshman]

More Tortorella interviews please.

[@cswow99]

This is actually very common in sports, only very rarely is is shown on air.

[@pesoff]

"So get the fuck out of here, then? Okay, cya!" best thing I've ever heard hahahahaha

[@buzzbigwig730]

Finally, the right coach is behind the bench. LET'S GO RANGERS!!!!

[@MDK2_Radio]

13 years later… how do you feel about it now?

[@Brando1914]

I love that guy!!! He'd look good behind the bench in Ottawa

[@kylemartineau8269]

Lol I know this was 12 years ago but my god could you imagine?

[@MFFL674]

be nice to see torts in dallas. watching his press conferences would be more entertaining than most stars games.

[@NYCKING718212]

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.

[@kerjuxaxaxa]

next question

[@GrouchyKraut]

It always annoys me that journalists get dramatic when a coach snaps at them after a loss.

[@lessthanthreemetal]

We know what we did

[@nickalleye]

Such a classic.

[@dynastyrg]

best coach in the NHL hands down

[@itsageyser]

This guy just oozes class

[@LegendofDelzaLol]

man torts just fuckin owned all those reporters with quick logical answers

[@essteeyou]

I fucking love Tortorella. Doesn't hide behind bullshit PR-speak. Love not hearing cliches.

[@mase5701]

@prorobo lolol you saw that press conference after the Flyers game. hehe he asked the reporter to go stand somewhere else.

[@tgiv5]

Cat Coach is the best ever! Gretzky 06 all day baby!

[@MrJohn_mania]

Is Brooksie living in Tampa or New-York?

[@momwrestfan65]

He is the Hockey beat guy for the New York Post

[@perplexedone]

yeah these q and a's with the media are pointless. can see why tortorella would get annoyed the same question over and over

[@naud08]

At least he stands up to Torts

[@UncleStumpy]

I think part of the problem is I'm media, so I hate dealing with guys like him who think they are so much better than me. I just don't like disrespectful people.

[@UncleStumpy]

amen brother.

[@arthasmenethil89]

Yeah he's known him when he coached the rangers as an assistant a long time back before being the lightnings head coach. they actually laughed about the incident together after the pressconference so it appears they just take jabs at each other as friends.

[@arthasmenethil89]

An annoying columnist that works for the NY Post and covers primarily the NY Rangers but seemed to just be getting a story about the Devils win against the Lightning for the next day report. He and Torts have some bad blood with each other and it's pretty funny now that he coaches the Rangers and brooksie has to deal with him all the time.

[@antimurphy8212]

Brooksie is the biggest joke for a hockey reporter! He should be a reporter for the Food Network instead. He fits the part well.

[@84hotshot84]

this is from 2007...

[@kanguesso]

Is it just me or does John Torterella look a little like the coach from the movie "Water Boy"?

[@ostapov1]

i wonder if anyone ever found out what they did

[@Julian24151]

Leave him alone if he doesn't want to answer a fucking question he shouldn't have to...

[@jbu6789]

i agree tejas i agree

[@TORLBC]

Now, pack your bags for New York...unless Wang becomes the GM and hires Yao Ming as head coach...

[@shark15]

i have a feeling he knows what he did,

[@andypaulocelli109]

I have a feeling they played a good game as well....lol

[@andypaulocelli109]

and knows what he did

[@DJT77816]

Brooksie gonna be a Brooksie F### outta here Brooksie.

[@gordyt99]

1:05 - Classic Tortorella

[@oldeenglishd45]

Awesome.

[@ethanswiech3243]

hey when you have a cup to your resume, you can say what you want.

[@airwolf1023]

why arent reporters coaches? -_-

[@quack10]

I love this guy! LOL

[@mikeoconn]

GO DEVILS!

[@ThePgereffi]

We know what we did!

[@pillowpants2006]

you probably shouldnt mention "sid the kid" and then talk about bandwagons.

[@jollyfool]

torts is great

[@hockey8931]

*aren't

[@ThePsufan001]

i thought it was funny when he said "brooksie if i want to explain it to you i would." not could explain, WANT to explain. key word is want, leave it at that. funny vid though, i like tortorella even though im a flyers fan because he tells it like it is and he doesnt give a shit what anybody else thinks.

[@steeleal1]

torts:get that through your brooksie brooksie: i guess not torts:well i guess u better get the fuck out of here now

[@BarryGoldberg79]

@levanyzzuf Larry Brooks, hockey beat writer for the NY Post

[@millelr]

brooksie gots owned agan

[@justiny273]

1:07

[@mss627]

Yeah Brooksy. Hit the f'ing bricks you hoser. I love it.

[@Thequietwolf]

We know what we did

[@ojsilva1975]

Tortorella’s last words before he dies… “We Know What We Did.”

[@pepperlloyd377]

1:12-1:15 Every time a customer says they're not coming back.

[@wandaburgess9400]

*EXACTLY PEPPER* lol

[@mikewhitaker1976]

we know what we did

[@antimurphy8212]

Then get the fuck out if here then! CLASSIC! 🤣😂

[@2013Raider]

This is HILARIOUS! Tortorella "We know what we did, we know what we did", Brooks: "watch ya do?", Tortorella (SURPRISED LOOK) "next question"

[@Musicrecords10]

Reporters always make me laugh, they ask stupid questions and then pretend to listen

[@clokwize5311]

How can anyone hate this dude, he's comedy gold.

[@KevinCantWait08]

LMFAO I love Tortorella... Such a hilarious, but no nonsense personality. It always leads to moments like this.

[@tylergroves9049]

The best

[@tomchevalier5491]

Brooks always holds his ground with torts even when he is told to leave he knows what he did

[@robertholston4708]

"Johnny McClain? You should ask him." So simple an answer but so brilliant.

[@HotRoute7]

Just like in the classic mike ditka presser, someone asked him about an injury and responds “talk to the trainer!”

[@daniellamont7265]

MacLean

[@NHLcrazy95]

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.

[@prorobo]

Yup, obviously he's just bitter from getting beat up at the bus stop! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Torts is the man.

[@roller_47]

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.

[@danski6694]

He he Whatd ya do??

[@Nesscalade]

Tortorella's a beauty!

[@cobra1376]

k, see ya best interview in the history of television. i love tortorella.

[@bullsfan531]

Tortorella is the Donald Trump of head coaches.

[@AureliusR]

@Joe T Then that's absolutely nothing like Donald Trump -- I think you misunderstood the original comment.

[@Keplerb-od1lr]

Sports are entertainment and personalities like Tortorella and Brooksie are assets

[@igotanM16]

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

[@DastardlyDer]

Brooks is a clown and Torts will always have the upper hand.

[@johncritch6812]

Has put supposedly a lot superior teams out of playoffs last few years. Great coach.

[@allthingscdl4374]

This is like a comedy skit LMAO Brooksie and Torts had the best interactions

[@JK.Palomba]

I could never be a coach. Backed up against the wall with a dozen mics in my face I would lose my shit🤣

[@lilyt..]

Fr 😂😂that shit mad scary

[@kvd909]

1:13 Famous part

[@JBizzDroid]

Brooksie is fucking amped somewhere #PoppingBottles

[@danzax1]

I like the new one where Torts says that Brooksie likely used to get beat up at the bus stop.

[@flogmolly]

GTFO, Brooksie

[@BarnabusBailey]

Love Coach Torts! Need a "Best of." I would pay any price for that!

[@blaketaylor9850]

I see this is a old comment but there is a pretty good best of torts here on KZbin

[@CanadianGuitarist]

@yankeesnrangers29 I remember watching this live, I thought the same thing. Gotta get Torts on a five-second delay.

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

John was just hired by Trump as Press Secretary lmfao. "Jim get the fuck out of here then, see ya!!"

[@leafyutube]

Right after telling Brooks to get the fuck outta here. "...Next question". Hahaha!!!!

[@TORLBC]

And...Melrose hasn't been in the NHL for so long I won't be surprised to be seeing him yell at Stamkos from the fans' side of the glass...who's even a Tampa fan?

[@StLouisBlues1515]

that's funny, "brooksie" i bet got fired for his comment, but Tortorella keeps his job, so easy for a coach to slur and not lose his job.

[@kramer17]

The best is he tells the guy to get the f*** outta here and then the reporter says f*** off and it doesnt phase him haha good for him

[@ATR_cardsandbreaks]

We know what we did 😂😂😂

[@MarkStark007]

Secretary of Arizona working with terrorist cuhz

[@SuperThunderlips]

@J060191 Ranger fan here. Real classy Torts. Good coach, but he is a jerk during these press conferences.

[@holamoco]

haha he is so fucking cool. you don't like it?well get the fuck out of here! next questtion. hahahahah awesome

[@UncleStumpy]

Sometimes that's true. But usually the reporters are ok, it's the columnists that have agendas.
