John Tortorella gives the coldest press conference of the season after recent loss
The Philadelphia Flyers' head coach John Tortorella gave the coldest press conference of the season after yesterday's loss against the Florida Panthers.
The coach was asked to comment on his goaltender performance by a reporter and simply walked out of the room, 39 seconds after he started his press conference.
Flyers lose against the Panthers 4-1 as goalie Felix Sandstrom struggles despite receiving only 14 shots
Anyone who watched Sunday afternoon game's between Philadelphia and Florida knows that the Flyers played well, but faced a wall with Anthony Stolarz between the pipes of the Panthers. On the other side of the ice, Sandstrom struggled, stopping 11 out of the 14 shots he faced.
The Panthers weren't bad, but the Flyers were on top of them for most of the game. But with players like Aleksander Barkov, Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Reinhart and Vladimir Tarasenko, they don't need a lot of shots to win games.

Flyers' head coach John Tortorella walks out of press conference after only 39 seconds following a question on goaltender Felix Sandström's struggles last night against the Florida Panthers
John Tortorella gave us many good stories this season. Most recently, he was suspended for lashing out on a referee during a game.
He's once again making the headlines, but this time, for walking out of a press conference after a stupid question from a reporter.
He started the interview by stating how he thought the game went down for his team:
"I thought we played really well," Flyers coach John Tortorella said. "Couldn't score. Their goalie played really well."
Then, he was asked if he thinks the goalie, Sandstrom, could've made more saves during the game.
He simply stood there, shook his head and shrugged, before leaving the room.
"John Tortorella was asked if he thinks Felix Sandström could have made some more stops after a shaky game
Tortorella put his arms up and shrugged a bit then walked out. 39 second presser tonight. "

This looks like a classic Torts moment. We already knew that he didn't like to be asked obvious questions, but this reached a new level.
At this point of the season, Tortorella met with the media hundreds of times already, and it's also possible that it could be slowly wearing him out.
