WAS IT THE RIGHT CALL FOR JOHN TORTORELLA TO BENCH KEVIN HAYES?

  1. Torts is trying to change the culture in that locker room. Keith Yandle’s comments prove that there’s a cultural shift that needed to happen on that team and Torts is instilling that culture. There’s a reason he has the 12th most wins in league history and has a Stanley Cup. I don’t think the Flyers can compete with Fletcher at the helm but Torts will do all he can to win including scratching someone who is not performing.

  2. So out of character for Torts to be a jerk off towards his players, especially his best players. Just kidding it was on brand. Any player worth his salt should’ve demanded a trade the second he was hired.

  3. Torts is an old delusional moron whose only Stanley Cup ring is fraudulent. Flames fans know… It was in…

  4. Kevin being the leading scorer on this dog feces team is no argument, he’s like a minus 17. He’s a turnover machine. If he were any good at hockey he’d be great because he’s a super nice guy. Tortarella is preaching defense first and word is Kevin gets called out at every video meeting. Just let him play and hope for some luck that they get the Conner B pick, this team won’t be competitive for a few years to come.

  5. Torts is a dinosaur as a coach. Don’t know why he keeps getting hired. He’s getting fired before end of season.

  6. Tsn has to have the least interesting hosts on tv. Don’t know how they somehow messed up the easiest type of shoe to make.

  7. I'm a Flyers fan, and the organization as a whole is a flaming bag of poop. I don't care that Hayes is leading the team in scoring. He's been absolutely terrible defensively, especially as a leader on this squad. He needs to be better (hell, they all do), but nobody should be immune to getting benched. Do others need benched too? Yeah. But for $7.1m, I expect more out of a player of Hayes' caliber.
