He has the same "wrath" as a 12 y/o girl does during a Facebook fight. Sorry but dude tries to act tough then when the littlest thing is said he turns into Sensitive Sally... |

Sounds like there may be a little more behind the scenes.
What Rutherford said I don't think should have been said, but Torts?? What a champion. Never let's us down! |

I hated this signing... But now that I know it's making TORTS lose his mind, I love it! Plus giving him the added incentive of proving he was right about TORTS and CBUS, can't wait to see how it plays out. Hopefully TORTS lit a fire under JJ and it pushes him next season. |

Torts is a joke, that really proves there's no issues in Columbus right ? A player says he's happy with his new teams winning culture and you go off and blow your stack. I think Columbus found it's cancer, they deserve better than that @$$ hole they call a coach. |

Well, Torts will be Torts. I would have been surprised if he DIDN'T go off on the Pens and Johnson. Tortorella is not exactly a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins official fan club.
This is a case of two people (Jack Johnson and Jim Rutherford) putting their feet in their respective mouths, and someone (Torts) overreacting to said feet in mouths. You can pass blame all around the table on this one.
Where did this all come from? Apparently, Johnson believes he wasn't in a "winning" culture (depends on perspective), Rutherford believing that Johnson was benched in Columbus because of some conspiracy or something (very debatable), and both kind of neglecting the fact that not only was Johnson awful in Columbus, but he was pretty awful before he started playing for Tortorella, and has been pretty awful for a long time now.
That's not to say he won't put it all together in Pittsburgh - I doubt it - but in the end, this is a highly questionable signing with a silly amount of drama added to it. |

I actually might be one of the few Pens' fans who doesn't mind John Torterella. Sure he hates the Pens but, he's been their whipping boy for awhile now, going back to other teams he has coached. First, I love the fact that he is an animal advocate. Makes him a good person in my book. And I actually like guys who are fiery and passionate at the expense of political correctness. Too many players and coaches today say what everyone thinks they should say and not what they really feel. He may be an ass in some regards, but there needs to be (and used to be) more people like him in sports. He was standing up for his team. He may be a little too sensitive and I love seeing the sheer anguish in his face every time the the Pens do something good against his team, but I don't feel the level of hatred some Pittsburgh fans feel towards him, even when his hatred for the Pens is on full display. |

Please let us know how many times you have been in a locker room with Torts so we know you are talking from personal experience instead of talking out of your hat.
Thanks, we will be waiting for your response. |

I still have no idea how a group of players can sit a coach down, tell him how to coach and then that same coach, who was told by players on the team how to coach, somehow ends up winning the coach of the year.
By the way a player saying, as a FREE AGENT, that he's very excited to join a successful team is really not that bizarre.
I have no idea why you would sign with a team you are not excited about.
Tortellini must drive a big truck to compensate for his baby fap situation me thinks |
