John Tortorella People Quotations

I already know in this league, people are complaining about it. And we can't complain about it. We have to allow this to happen. And I just hope we have some strong people to see this through.

I respect what players have to do in this league, especially those type of role players who do a lot of things other people aren't willing to do. But there still has to be some honor in it.

We're very pleased with that. That's the way it works. You give people opportunities and they try to make the best of it.

We just froze. Atlanta has some good offensive people and we couldn't change the momentum. The way we played the last two periods, we're fortunate to get two points.

They know it's costing us. I go back to the people we have, eventually that thing has to turn around. I just believe that because we have good players. Right now, we lack so much confidence when we're up a man it's almost like we're waiting that something bad is going to happen to us when we get on the power play.

I hope we can do it ourselves. We will. I just think we have good people on this club.

I know people have to look out for themselves and their livelihood and there is business in this, but we're interested in people who want to be here. We're in to other youth. We're in to other players.

I just think we have a high-character team. In situations like this, I think you find out about a lot of people. I'm just happy for them that they found a way to get a win in here to make this a series because I don't think a lot of people gave us a chance to win a game.

He absolutely engulfs people with his body. He is a monster.
