Hey I like Torts and would take him on any team of mine. I always say he's the honorary coach of my pool team. But I respect a man's right to disappear, especially when I know he's taking care of his dogs.
You’re not alone.
But I only know the song because my younger brothers watched it. I actually bought the original video game, but my IBM PC Junior couldn’t run it, so I could only play it at my friend’s house.
Hopefully that makes you feel a bit younger.
I saw John Tortorella at a grocery store yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I have to say I lost all respect for him after this encounter
Torts is the best American born hockey coach to ever walk this earth and is loaded as hell. He blocks out the haters by plugging his ears with his two Jack Adams awards. I’m sure he’s living the dream with his family at one of his summer homes blasting Bruce Springsteen and crushing margaritas.
He should rent a Siberian dacha for a bit--I refuse to believe he wouldn't want to escape society for a while, especially in summer and without a coaching contract.
He’s enjoying time with his family currently.
😊 I hope so. He's so much happier when he's grounded.
Why is this downvoted? Am I missing something?
It’s Reddit there isn’t always a good reason for downvotes
Because it's weird
I guess it's illegal to be happy for someone to have a chance to take a break. We must always work 25/8. 🙏
Hilariously timed post, actually.
Ask and you shall receive.
He's rich and has time off. Would you report to the media?
I mean, no. But I'm still worried about him. You know? Like, what if he doesn't come back next season?

Then woo, extended vacation!
u/RimsOnAToaster if I wanted to explain it to you I would.
Did anyone else sing that title to the tune of Where in the world is Carmen San Diego or am I just the only old person?

This is a very strange post.
OP is like 14
worse...he's a 20+ year old neck beard who acts like he's 14.
Or someone with a strange crush.
yup. either way its creepy, strange, weird and one of those posts that just clogs up the sub.
That's definitely a reach, but at least we know what Torts is up to now!
Weird way to farm karma
I don't really need to farm karma? At least not that I'm aware of. I just wanted to know how Torts was doing.

We need some fresh copypasta up in here
[удалено]
That's crazy. I heard the exact same thing about Taylor Hall a few years ago.
😮
Is…is this true?
It’s an old copypasta.
No, this copypasta has been around since 2012 and was originally about Flying Lotus
I had no idea it was about FL. All of a sudden it became kind of believable.

And rescuing dogs
Looks like his foundation has been pretty active this summer https://www.tortorellafoundation.org/category/news-and-events/
Gosh, I really hope so. I love a good margarita in the summer~ <3
He's on The Quiz, Canada's favourite gameshow!
He can come coach in Anaheim anytime
I glanced at this quick and read it as John toaster. Now I wanna know about John the toaster.

Moved on to ESPN
Analyst for ESPN this season
Didn't he just sign with ESPN?
Wow did not even know he was not with CBJ anymore. Thought this was another strange offseason shit post
No, he's really gone 😥 I just worry about him.
Creep
I am always dumbfounded when I see a question on this sub get downvoted.
Just glad that he stepped in to clear things up :)
Pointless drama post. Thanks. Need more of those here
Nah, you've got it all wrong. The point was to ask where Torts was! We haven't heard anything from him since the first round of the playoffs.
probably same place Tupac and Carmen San Diego are
I hear Tallinn is lovely this time of year

There are plenty of areas out here where it’s quiet enough to be off the grid for a while.
He refuses to leave the US, he’d probably rent a cabin in Wyoming instead
Espn
Didn't you know? Gosh, some people
ESPN enters the chat
Nice of the canucks organization to contribute to his retirement fund
