It's a typical Torts rant but he's correct and he's telling the truth.
I will say Orpik does not even get fined, this is the Pens were talking about here with pretty boy Crosby on the team.
I'll be pulling for the Flyers and I hope they make this one ugly. One thing for sure...Crosby won't get any special treatment from the Flyers and I love that.
Torts whines and *****es just because. Personally, I can't stand him and his antics, but he's right on the money here.
With ya there Bridges, I feel like that with Don Cherry, tiresome most of the time but....every so often, totally agree with what he`s saying as I do here with Torts
I don't blame Milbury for apologizing. I wish he didn't, but I don't blame him. He 100% got told that he had to, I can almost guarantee that.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out now that a coach is saying it. It's not like complaining about officials, or disclipline, or the league....can coaches be fined for *****ing about players?
Agreed about Milbury.
I love Torts, as a coach. He is one of the best, like him as a character or not. Lots of respect for him.
I donīt like the whining from Crosby and the cheap shots from Malkin... But I canīt understand why Torts called them out after a cheap hit from orpik... malkin and crosby didnīt whine and made no cheap shots, so canīt understand torts calling them out after this game!
Sry but the pens do the same as every other team in the league... they are angry if they receive a cheap shot and try to protect their players after making cheap shots.. (julien tried to protect marchand and told the media that marchand only wanted to protect himself...)
And most organisations call out other guys for cheap shotting (I like that the bruins donīt do that!)
So itīs not only the pens organisation and the whiny pens stars (unfortunetly)

To bad Pronger wasn't able to play.
I think Orpik will sit 2-3 games. Letang & Engelland were both suspended this year. Granted Malkin could have been hit with a suspension or two.
As for the Flyers and Pens playoffs matchup. I love it. I think it has a lot of the same make up that the B's and Habs matchup had in 07-08. The two teams hated each other and the 1st round was played like the SCF but in the end the winning team had little left in the tank for the rest of the playoffs.
Here's to hoping these two behemoths beat the hell out of each other.

I find him very entertaining. And I've tried to give the Pens a pass, but I gotta agree with Torts and Milbury now. No problem rooting for Philly in this series!
From the mean streets of Concord comes a man....a man with a Vision...and the streets of SoHo are a-crawl with it...from the dankest cheap beer swills of Alphabet City to the s****y neon dayglo martini bars of Midtown, one man has picked the City up by its bootstraps....that man is John Tortorella!!!!
This thread is hilarious. Look, no team is made of angels, no team is a complete goon squad. As far as Tort's calling the Penguins arrogant, what team in the NHL has been asked to do more at the moment for the league? I know fans of other teams get sick of Crosby, Crosby, Crosby but the NHL is looking out for their bottom line. Go ahead and be annoyed by it but don't make up reasons as to why the Pens should be hated for it.
And Torts calling Crosby & Malkin whiners is laughable. Who whines more than John Tortorella? When asked about getting cross checked from behind after the whistle by Schenn, Crosby said "I guess it was kinda cheap". I'd say that's astoundingly composed.
I'm not saying the Penguins never do anything wrong but let's face it, they're a target right now and teams are already politicing for the playoffs. Even Andrew Ference came out against Letang's brutal dive. Really Andrew?

Love Torts, I like coaches who speak their mind and don't make a piece of crap smell like roses. He gets the most out of his players and isn't afraid to call them out I respect that

Get off your crosses and play hockey.
I have half the Penguins on my Fantasy team so I actually am rooting for them (usually) but folks like me who have no dog in this fight see the Penguins as exactly as described. I understand why fans hate the Patriots and except it for what it is, the Penguins are loathesome and their on ice leaders are perceived by quite a bit of knowledgeable fans as entitled whiney front runners. If I was Crosby's adisor I'd have a little sit down this summer and do some tweaking of his image. It's a shame actually because they are clearly the most talented team in the East to me.

They always have.
The Penguins should be in Hamilton right now. I have zero respect for that organization. The NHL should have let them go bankrupt and move. They way they have built their team is disgusting and I wish them nothing but failure.
I still don't even hate the Pens or Crosby (Cooke is the scum of the earth, however, and I will shed no tears when he gets what's coming to him), but Mario Lemieux is still just Celine Dion on skates. Biggest whining fraud of all time.

Don't say anything mean about Mario, we don't want him to threaten to leave the game...again. How do you think they got Crosby anyway.

You have to remember he employes Cooke...
If Lemieux really stood for something he'd have kicked Cooke off the team... instead he's a FRAUD and cry baby.
Remember he threatend to pick up his stick and walk away from the game cause it's getting too dirty and too much fighting.
And I've tried to give the Pens a pass, but I gotta agree with Torts and Milbury now. No problem rooting for Philly in this series!
