John Tortorella of the Philadelphia Flyers talks on the attitude the team wants to have at the end of the season, which includes not wanting to look back and coaching the players to reach new heights.
The Philadelphia Flyers’ grip on the third and last guaranteed postseason position in the Metropolitan Division has grown shaky as they have gone 2-5-3 in their past ten games.
With a 9-5-1 record in March, the Washington Capitals are closing in on the Flyers and have briefly overtaken them over the course of a few days.
With two games remaining, the Capitals (82 standing points) are currently one point behind the Flyers (83).
The most exciting method for fans to witness this collapse has been through the heated behavior and contentious press conferences of Flyers head coach John Tortorella.
Torts, who has had trouble keeping his composure in the face of challenging circumstances on the ice or obvious inquiries from the media, has been largely responsible for the Flyers’ current scandals and diversion. It’s possible that he has struggled with it all of his career.
