Solid accountability and maturity from Torts, good job 🫡
Nice to see, but at the end of the day these reporters have got to get a grip and recognize who they are interviewing. Still think it’s such a grimy industry to get into, not all of them are like this, but a lot of them are.
I understand now why he apologized to sandstorm but it was still a terrible question to being with.
“..he tried. Sanny tried. Things happened this year that put our goaltending situation into a state of flux. Sanny did not deserve that from me. You had the perfect right to ask that question. He did not deserve that from me. It was wrong.”
Sandstrom confirmed that Tortorella apologized to him today in person, too.

Torts has grown. I was worried about his shelf life, he usually comes to a team, they over-achieve, then a few seasons later they get tired of him and quit on him.
I was worried we’d have that issue coming out of the rebuild and possibly ready for contention, since that’s a few years off anyway. He is a great coach. It’s one thing to hold your players accountable, but another to hold yourself accountable.
