John Tortorella hasn't had much to say publicly since he was let go by the following the 2013-14 season, but that changed on Erik Haula Jersey Friday in Tampa Bay ahead of his return to the bench on Sunday .During his appearance with Tom Jones and Rick Stroud Tortorella talked about his most recent coaching experience in the NHL and where everything went wrong for him with the Canucks, specifically the second half of the season where the team had three losing streaks of four games or more, including a seven-game losing streak in late January and early February that was part of a 12-game stretch where they only won one game.The entire segment ."You know, there are a lot of things said about me with players and all of these different types of things that people think about, but they really dont know," Tortorella said.""Like that group NHL Vegas Golden Knights Jersey of players in Vancouver, I really enjoyed. We had a great first half. But I dont think I did the job for the team the second half with our consistency and I think thats what cost me my job, is we just couldnt stop the losing streaks. We needed to win a couple of games within those areas. And quite honestly, I deserved to get fired after that second half of the year." Reid Duke Jersey Tortorella also talked about evolving as a coach and a person and what was perhaps the most infamous moment not only of his time in Vancouver, but perhaps his entire coaching career in the NHL when he attempted to charge into the locker room ."I know I make my own bed on some of these different things that happened," Tortorella said. "Youre talking to a guy that Deryk Engelland Jersey went down a hallway after another coach last year, which was just so, so acro s the line and so embarra sing to my organization and my team."But its the emotion. And thats what youre asking about. The emotion of it. Yeah, and you live and die by the sword a little bit there. I think Ive controlled myself more. I really worked at that last year in Vancouver. That was really one of the bad spots of my season, when I did that. Thats a long story in my mindset there, but as far as dealing with the media and trying to work with them, Ive really worked at that. Because its almost become thats what was defining me as a coach."Tortorella has spent parts of 14 seasons behind an NHL bench with the , and Canucks, winning a Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay in 2003-04.He has a 446-375-37 record Deryk Engelland Men Jersey , including the 36-35-11 mark with the Canucks a year ago.
