Daily News | As his first season as Flyers coach winds down, John Tortorella reflects on ‘garbage time’ games
Heading into the final stretch, Tortorella thought he had figured out who his players were. The team was knocked out of playoff contention early, leading to a bunch of games Tortorella described as “garbage time.”
Tortorella said he’s feeling better about some players, but he’s not sure how to evaluate them, considering it’s “garbage time.”A question mark isn’t exactly bad if Tortorella had already counted a player out — though his opinion can change quickly. Braun is loved in the locker room. He plays an “ugly” game, Tortorella says, but there’s a beauty in the ugliness because the team always knows what its going to get. Whether he’s in the lineup or not, Braun’s brought stability to the room, Sanheim said, except for when he’s going after Sanheim and best friend Travis Konecny in cards.
Several other younger Flyers also are on the precipice of milestones. Scott Laughton is at 199 career points. Konecny is at 29 goals for the season. Frost is at 19 goals.Besides Tortorella, assistant coaches Brad Shaw and Rocky Thompson have run the bench this season. With one game left, a fourth coach, Darryl Williams, will get a turn.
