Saw the 'network' coverage of this / update last night - and there was no shortage of footage of Tortorella railing on Dubois repeatedly.
With Tortorella wondering what Dubois disagrees with, as if he hasn't been 'honest' with him.
Pretty dense play by Torts, really.
I wonder what the 'kid' could possibly have a problem with?
But beyond his target - what do the players on his bench think, as Tortorella rips into a team-mate - ie as he did with Hansen? I can only imagine how many have had to fight/repress the urge to get up and 'ask him if he'd like to drop the gloves'. I recall one Canuck recounting a story of walking into his office and doing exactly that. How many guys that have played for him felt the same? What does that actually do 'for' a 'team'? I think he's probably fortunate that not many of those guys have taken him up on the 'conversation' and Radulov'd him.
Sprinkled in some 'I've/we've spent so much time and effort developing him'.... As if Torts is the guy that is going to take the loss - and as if the CBJ are not going to get asset value back for him.
Disappointing really - because Tortorella seemed to 'get it' upon his departure from here - that he'd earned it. But he's sunken back into habit of ballbusting his players. Personally, I wouldn't want my players getting used to being treated / submitted like a rented mule like that - quite the opposite.
