Reasons Why John Tortorella Is The Most Entertaining Coach In The NHL

NY Daily News

On December 18th, John Tortorella made American hockey history. He was the first American coach to win 500 games. Only the 24th coach ever to win that many games. He took the Blue Jackets from missing the playoffs to being one of the top teams in the NHL. Tortorella is known for his legendary press conferences and well, his love for casually dropping the F-bomb. Whether you love him or hate him, he's a true American treasure.

This one time, he tried to fight the entire Flames roster.

Good thing he had Ryan Kesler to back him up.

He was then fined and suspended for 15 days because of the Flames altercation. That sparked the #FreeTorts movement.

He's notorious for stuff like that.

He speaks for most hockey fans when he says something like this.

Someone made a cardboard cut out of him because why not.

But really, everyone loves his pressers.

They're short.

But definitely not sweet.

But he stands up for his team.

He also really likes dogs. The John and Christine Tortorella foundation helps keep animals and children from harm. So he's not always cactus like.

Whether you love him or hate him, he's always entertaining.

If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
