    This is certainly in the top 10, but it’s still miles away from the “Milbury beats fan with shoe” event.

    This is the moment Tortorella sealed for that he is a clown.

    Benching Lu at the Heritage Classic showed just how much of a bully he is. Can’t stand the man and I’m not anywhere near a Canucks fan.

    Can’t believe this was 10 years ago. The Canucks torts season was a wild ride. I remember a game they were up like 4-0 in the third and lost 7-4, amazing.

  4. Uhhh…. For the young/newer hockey fans among us *cough* what was this exactly?

    Does anyone have the video of the opening faceoff brawl? Can’t find it anywhere on YouTube

    There’s nothing wrong with Tortorella, dude’s a gem. Comparing him to Babcock is idiotic.

    10 years ago yet tortellini looks 25 years younger

  8. I remember Brian McGrattan talking about this, said he wanted to knock out Tortorella for coming to the locker room.

    No way this was 10 years ago already. I still remember watching this shitshow unfold live

    This was really only 10 years ago? It feels like this was forever ago. Could I be mixing this up with another coach tunnel fight?

  11. People often get confused when I say I like Torts. Is he a an asshole sometimes? Absolutely, but the guy clearly is a very devoted coach who wants to win desperately.

    What would have happened if Torts just put the Sedin line out anyway?

  13. FastEddie77

    I remember Torts from his days coaching the Orlando Solar Bears. Just getting the lineup card before the game required a negotiation.

    Torts is still a dick. Players are still fleeing. How this guy hasn’t been Babcocked is beyond me.

    Hartley in the pregame speech
    “Gotta set the tone boys, 4th line, you’re up 1st”
    HAA-OOT

    Also, Bieksa stepping in to take the opening faceoff for Kellen Lain – his first ever NHL game. There was no question what was going on or about to go down. Quality guy, that Bieksa.

    Skipped the part where Bieksa pokes his head out the door 😂 I’m a flames fan but I’d say that was the part about this whole thing i laugh at the most

    Torts is such a cute wittle guy. Tough when someone’s holding you back.

    Torts is one of my favourite people in hockey history. Definitely never thought hed still be around now though! He reminds me of those times, hope he never changes and we know he wont 🤣

    This was 10 freaking years ago already? Good lord.

  21. Oldfriendoldproblem

    Lol! I actually had a facebook memory pop up about this game. I had snapped a pic of both teams being in the penalty box.

  22. Can’t believe those guys went in there just to drag him out of the locker room /s
