The time John Tortorella went off on a player for dropping a deuce during a team meeting
Just imagine Torts screaming at you while you're sitting on the can...

John Tortorella is back in the NHL, this time as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers and, honestly, I couldn't imagine a better match for Torts in the NHL. I full expect him to bring in a return to the Broadstreet Bullies era mentality to this team given his no-nonsense coaching style.
And with Torts back in the game, I figured I'd take the opportunity to share one of my all time favourite Torts stories courtesy of one of his former players Kevin Bieksa.
Listen to Bieksa tell the story of how Torts chewed out defenseman Ryan Stanton in front of the entire team because he interrupted a team meeting by flushing a toilet:
Imagine sitting on the can and you're terrified of triggering Torts... then you're worst nightmare happens and he comes tearing into the bathroom to read you the riot act while you're zipping up. I suggest the Flyers players take care of their morning business before heading to the rink this upcoming season.
