Interesting answer from Flyers coach John Tortorella when asked about Bobby Brink standing up to much bigger player

«Brink has gotta learn how to check, he's driving me crazy. I love the kid, but he doesn't know how to check [obscenity] and he has to learn that part of the game»

Despite calling him out he praises Brink for being one of their top young players that he enjoys. Tortorella has brought a brand new swagger to Philadelphia that has turned around their success.

This season has been a shocking result for the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers were projected to be near the bottom of the NHL and still rebuilding. Despite these predictions, they are currently in a playoff spot.
