' I am going to coach that team hard right away.' The Flyers introduced John Tortorella as their head coach on Friday.
He is known for his occasional temper and demanding, no-nonsense coaching style, and he has clashed through the years with his share of players. Tortorella said he’s softened his style though the years as players evolved and old-school tactics have been weeded out of the league. But changes come only to a certain point.
Tortorella, who worked this season for ESPN, dismissed criticism that his style wears teams out quickly. Tortorella is 673-541-37-132 over almost 20 seasons, including just one season with Vancouver when he was fired with four years left on his deal. “That is a place I would love an opportunity to be and coach,” Tortorella said. “The passion of the people, the building, everything about the city. It was really neat for me.”
Like most new hires, Tortorella was light on what was needed out of specific players or how Fletcher should handle trades, the draft and free agency this summer. Tortorella did emphasize play away from the puck was a necessary source of improvement.
