John Tortorella Reveals He Has a Odd Hatred Towards Something Odd?
John Tortorella is more of an old-fashioned coach, to say the least.

Analytics are becoming a huge part of sports these days, most specifically in football.
Tortorella is definitely in the minority of NHL head coaches' stances on analytics.
Let's see if his gut reaction philosophy pays off down the stretch.
