Bieksa is such a great guy. Liked his game and now as hockey personality.

[@johanstinson]

As an Oilers fan I HATED Bieksa. But he is an awesome analyst

[@coyotecreekband236]

I could listen to Kevin Bieksa all day long. Thanks for the morning laugh, boys.

[@icewyre]

I feel like I'm surprised to hear that the Sedins signed off on him. Interesting. I wouldn't have thought that back then.

[@stewarts8597]

Juice has got the greatest stories

[@vancitymountaineer7728]

When Kesler and him had their short lived podcast it was awesome!

[@petermotta1623]

Everybody in Philly should be kissing Torts butt. Whether they make the playoffs or not, they still had a great year.

[@trainfire2008]

Yeah people are still waking up right now…..you should have way more thumbs up‼️

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

No

[@linodisalvo1427]

NY Islanders fan here - I love Torts and his passion for the game.

[@ZZSmithReal]

NY Islanders fan here - I think Tortorella belongs in a mental institution or a nursing home. Take your pick.

[@mikem7551]

Rupper said the same thing about Torts, he wanted the guys to fight back with him.

[@Herculesbenchpress]

We've definitely seen that he wants to know his players are out there trying. The moment that Frost challenged him he wasn't in and out of the lineup anymore.

[@dhdoctors]

KB drops the f bomb like a champ! Thank you sir, heart your stories and just great hockey analysis.

[@djdemers8709]

wicked pod boys!! cheers from Sudbury Ont 🍻🍻 Kevin is a beauty!

[@danclark4416]

I trust torts, briere and jonesy. Its going to take alot longer than 1 year to change the fabric of this team. People need to strap in get comfortable and shut up.

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

👎

[@TheDmonet]

He rode Marian Gaborik mercilessly when he was with the Rangers because he didn't block shots. Trying to pound a square peg into a round hole.

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

Yes. Torts was a disaster. Happy that Marion eventually went to the Kings and had a fabulous playoff.

[@martypettenuzzo3446]

Great discussion boys, and yes, torts is a great fkn coach!

[@cap6741]

This is awesome

Deleting comments, nice 👍

From everything I've heard over the years, John Tortorella is a hard coach who sometimes crosses lines (I think calling players out in front of the media is not good). But I think he fundamentally cares about his players and wants the best from them. With the possible exception of Vancouver, every team he's been to has been better than when he came in. I don't think his style of leadership is effective in all circumstances all the time. But he's been a very good coach, and I think it would unfair to call him a tyrant.

[@Chris-hp2gg]

All you know is that you know nothing. The more you know, the less you know.😂

[@brooklynator]

"...Definitely over the Islanders"? WTF?🤬

[@tdsportscards429]

Thank you!!! I was about to ask the same

[@pjpredhomme7699]

I hate the flyers so I absolutely want Torturella there as long as possible. His legacy is well established. He gets mediocre teams overperform for a while until the players realize that it is all about him. In the meantime he destroys all the talented players in the org - and ultimately the team is a tire fire by the time it ends. So I have been really disappointed that this team had quit on him already - and they will have to dump him this summer . I have been hoping he has more time to take a wrecking ball to any and all the talented prospects the flyers have - fingers crossed.

[@flipe125]

I wanted him to win Jack adams so bad but clearly wont happen now

[@rickjobin8241]

Don't like his attitude as a coach. So, he gets the Jackass trophy from me. Q here is how much longer will he coach in Philly?

[@johnrwalker53]

The players gave up on him and only beat the Rangers,because the Rangers thought it would be easy and didn't show up.

[@devenstoyles5415]

Well, when you’re making that kind of money, anyone should expect a player to be all in. You see examples all the time where effort is lacking, and it should be called out. Thick skin, y’a of course you need it.

[@bluethunder1951]

Philly is falling a part after Torturella got ejected for being an idiot to the refs, Pens and NYI are playing better hockey and will make it into the playoffs.

[@CapsBrotha]

NYI & WSH are making the playoffs

[@justinfalzon6854]

first

[@WXVA9]

Tortorella is such a great coach that his season collapsed lol

[@mikeyc4467]

Too many softies nowadays

[@grahamfraser2150]

that's not what your mom says.🙂

[@bobknoblick4231]

Unfortunately Torts hasn’t changed with the times. This may well be his last team he coaches in the NHL. He is too much of the same stuff and players stop listening. There are some things I like about Torts but it is getting thin.

[@froodogga7053]

torts is garbage...one season shelf life til the players get fed up with him being an infant...

[@user-bs8hq6bc6e]

torts rubbed Edler the wrong way. He was like -36 that season

[@glennhankins6927]

He literally gave Edler a nervous breakdown.

[@JM-oy5yv]

Torts is babs 2.0 time for him to go

[@gameburn178]

Torts is wildly out of date: imagine thinking that yelling at players, charging around at refs and other coaches is part of coaching. Imagine moving players out because the coach can't yell at them when he wants. Lol.

[@ytcfits23]

Everyone a fucking expert. DO NOT RECOMMEND CHANEL
