This proves that John Tortorella doesn't like the modernization of the game, Is he right?
The Philadelphia Flyers have struggled to form an identity around the new system and coach, John Tortorella. It could be argued that the coach has effectively become the face of the Flyers as his soundbites make headlines every week.
John Tortorella's critiques of the players of the Philadelphia Flyers never seem to end.
According to Tortorella, the players were "too focused" on the iPad instead of being situationally aware of the game.
In a technological critique right out of the Luddite handbook, Tortorella blames technology on the player's failure to execute. It sounds like the iPad is the new item to shift the blame for Tortorella's failure to turn the team around in the 1st year of the rebuild.
Tortorella would go on to double down after the fact, as he explained he doesn't give an "s***" about how he's perceived, which is quintessential Torts.
While Tortorella may not care about how he's perceived, results matter. Being second worst in their division speaks louder than anything.
