Former Flyer Has Harsh Words For John Tortorella
John Tortorella has been on a 'healthy-scratching spree' lately. It started with Rasmus Ristolainen, then went to Tony DeAngelo, and has now gone to the most confusing one yet.
Flyers leading scorer Kevin Hayes will be left to watch from the press box tonight, in what can only be explained as a 'Tortorella-style' move.
Now, Keith Yandle has spoken out about Tortorella's antics, and his opinion is very clear.
This is what he had to say to the Bleacher Report:
Is it time, maybe, a coach gets healthy scratched?
Tortorella can't keep these types of things going. Hayes is one of, if not his best player. Whatever message he's trying to send here clearly isn't going over well.
