When the Philadelphia Flyers hired John Tortorella to be their new head coach at the start of the off-season, they brought him in to push the right buttons at the right time, I don't think this is what the Philly brass had in mind

On Thursday Tortorella made an appearance on Sirius XM radio in which he said some rather questionable things about his players.

I have major concerns about the room,» Tortorella said. «I've spent the summer going back and forth to Philly trying to relocate there. But (I) spent some time in the office talking to players, talking to personnel, talking to (general manager) Chuck (Fletcher), all the front office, and I have major concerns about what goes on in there.

Torts hasn't even coached a game with the Flyers yet and is speaking like this? Either it's a tactic to get his players going ahead of training camp, or, Philadelphia has a larger problem to content with then they thought.
