John Tortorella has this young Flyers team riding high right now, as they just defeated their arch rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. Tortorella is known to be a hard-nosed coach, but he is also well known for giving great quotes to the media and fans alike.
Following the victory on Saturday, Tortorella had this to say:
“We win this game because we got balls. We do. We do stupid stuff at times, we lose sight of certain momentums of the game. One thing we do have is balls,” – Tortorella said following the game
He doesn’t shy away from giving infamous quotes, but his team did grind out another shootout victory 4-3 against the Penguins. These type of victories are good victories in a rebuild, especially when the team is learning how to win.

It’s become apparent that this team is a tight knit bunch, and Torts is spear heading this. The Flyers do not have a problem with effort, you’re sticking up for one another. This team may not be talented enough to beat stiff competition or playoff bound teams on a nightly basis, but they do fight and claw their way into games nine times out of 10, “There is still a priority to teach the young players how to win. Don’t think we are going to forget about winning,” John Tortorella said a few weeks ago. “You’re not teaching your younger players the right way on how to play, if you’re not teaching them how to win.” Teaching the youth how to win creates confidence and development, and it also teaches them how to win. Tortorella said they haven’t lost sight of the rebuild, but winning is important for the youth in terms of growth.
