Speaking his mind is not an issue for John Tortorella. He'll tell you what he thinks, and he'll be the first to tell the reporters if they do something that irritates him. He took no exception on Wednesday.

Anthony was in the room when Torts asked if the reporter who said the ridiculous statement was there.
"Are kidding me? Do you think Kevin Hayes is going to do something like that?
It pisses me off that you guys throw that shit around and it affects someone's life. Kevin Hayes and I had a problem, we couldn't come to an agreement on how to play. That's a good man. That's a good man. And what you said is going to stay with him. That's what you guys don't understand. And you're going to sit there and say you have the right sources. I call bullshit."
Ryan Whitney also had something to say about SanFilippo once he saw the clip.
I just talked to hayzie asking his opinion on this guy saying he was behind Cutter Gauthier requesting a trade. He started laughing and said «whoever that is is a complete clown and anyone who thinks I had anything to do with this doesn't have a brain»
The trade that went down and the aftermath of Torts' fire
The aforementioned deal seemed to happen out of the blue, leaving many to question why it happened at that particular time. After it was revealed that Gauthier had informed the Flyers that he would not be signing with them, the rumors began to spread.
Anthony wanted some sympathy after Torts lit in to him.
Well, Torts just lit me up in his press conference about Kevin Hayes. Completely unprompted. That ought to be a joy for everyone for the next couple days.
Let me just say, you will not find any in his mentions or quote tweets.
