Fans are claiming Tortorella has lost the locker room

The Flyers have been struggling at the worse time possible as the season comes to a close and there is such a tight race for the final wild card spots.

Fans online have been saying that the team does not want to play for Tortorella and that he has lost the locker room.

While the Flyers head coach is known for being tough on his players, it does not mean he does not care, if anything he is so tough on them because he does. We have seen multiple times that he cares like when he apologized to Sandstrom for how he dealt with him after a poor game or patting Frost on the back after a tough few shifts in his first game back.

His toughness is often mistaken for meanness but he just expects a lot out of his players because he know what they are capable of.


Tortorella will have to fire his team up going into the last 4 games of the season as they now sit just outside the last wild card position after last night's loss.
