The Dude Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Is Hayes going to be labeled as a bad locker room influence again? Who else could he be directing this at? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he a Torts guy? I think DeAngelo will be named atleast an alternate and be more of a leader. Torts is going to love him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way at all that ADA is a Torts guy He signed, he's still part of the locker room in this context. He's saying there's no character there, ADA will fit right in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure how accurate this is. Torts is on record saying the following. I feel like I watched another podcast or interview where Torts talks fairly high of ADA. Quote "The thing that bothers me and some of the things I've read is people are upset about Tony DeAngelo," Tortorella said. "Tony DeAngelo's a hell of a player, Tony DeAngelo has personality. Is he going to say and do some stupid stuff? You're damn right he is. But I'd rather have a guy doing stupid stuff than having a choir boy here just going about your business. You don't win that way, you don't win championships, you don't build a team without any personality. Tony's going to bring that and, plus, he's a hell of a player. https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/flyers/john-tortorella-defends-chuck-fletcher-talks-johnny-gaudreau-tony-deangelo-more 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see about that. Wait until ADA is costing them games with tantrums, telling Carter Hart he sucks, etc. Look, ADA had a great year but winning covers up a lot of things. It'll be interesting to see what happens as the losses pile up. Either way, I wasn't serious about ADA being the problem in the room. That said, he's not the solution to lack of character, either.

Bugg Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Deangelo is going to have to be way better defensively than he has been or he will be in the doghouse shortly. Sounds like this is aimed at Hayes, but who knows. Expect Tortorella will as always make his team more defensively responsible and the GAA comes way down. Hart will be the beneficiary of that. Still isn't enough offense to sniff a playoff berth. Will steal some games they should not win and the Flyers will not be a gimme 2 points.

siddious Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I love torts and I know he’s right but kind of weird to be doing this before you’ve even had a chance to have any guys in the locker room. anyway I’d pay to see 24/7 flyers version this season.

Meh. I think he has leadership characteristics. Speaks his mind. Calls out players when they suck. Doesn't back down to anyone. Has the lockerroom. Take away the name and replace it with another and these are intangibles of a team leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised you think he has leadership characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The five stages of Torts: (1) shock; (2) responsive; (3) black and blue; (4) tune out; (5) dismissed. So the Flyers are at Stage 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
