John Tortorella makes history, does something that literally no NHL coach has ever done!

This just in, Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella has pulled off an unprecedented move, scratching HIMSELF for tonight's game in Ottawa against the Ottawa Senators. Instead, assistant coach Brad Shaw will coach the team and will be available for post-game comments. Tortorella will watch the game from the press box with GM Daniel Briere.

Check it out:

Honestly... I kind of love it!

I've never heard of a coach doing this before and the Flyers are so far out of the running this season that they may as well shake things up and try some new things. Honestly, I find this kind of refreshing and I wonder if more coaches will try to think outside the box like Torts moving forward.
