Must see: Tortorella does the unthinkable after humiliating loss!

Most National Hockey League fans will get it; the Columbus Blue Jackets got roasted 7-2 by one of the league's struggling teams, the Edmonton Oilers, and head coach John Tortorella was not expecting it...

Fine.

However, fans expected an explanation, a statement, something to make them understand what happened. Well, "Torts" was not going to provide one for them and the media members.

The coach came out and held the shortest press conference ever. While being polite, Tortorella did not face any question following the humiliating loss. The presser lasted approximately 14 seconds.

Many media members and fans were outraged by his decision, hoping to get more answers from the team.

So @BlueJacketsNHL coach John Tortorella came out after 7-2 rump-roasting by Edmonton at home and made 15-second, take-no-questions statement., eh? As fans, you're owed WAY more than that. #lame

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't John Tortorella have an obligation to actually answer questions from the media?

Poor individuals who have a job to do but, I suppose the story is that he wouldn't comment.

It’s pretty pathetic that sore loser John Tortorella can get away with taking no questions from the media after a game. You can’t compose yourself enough to handle answers for your fans? What are you, 3 years old? Grow up and Man up, John. It’s part of the job.

These people have a job to do, coach!

Must see: Tortorella does the unthinkable after humiliating loss!
