We all know Torts really well, he is one of the most outspoken hockey people we have in the game. He gives his opinion about anything and most of the times his responses are controversial.
Anaheim Ducks super rookie Trevor Zegras said today that he isn't concerned about John Tortorella's criticism of his highlight-reel assist last week after Torts said that this type of play isn't good for the game.
"I'm not trying to be a fool here, I'm just not so sure it's great for the game," Tortorella said Friday. "If you did that back in the 2000s, late '90s, you would get your head taken off. It's cool; it's cool to watch and all that, but I'm not so sure it's good for the game. And I stand by that."
Here's what Trevor responded today:
«I didn't really see where he was coming from. It's just one of those things that he's entitled to this opinion."
"It's one of those things where I'm not really too worried what (Tortorella's) thinking or what he's saying," Zegras said Tuesday, according to The Athletic. "I thought it was just weird that he would try and kind of don't want to say shoot it down but I feel like it did so much good for the game."
