John Tortorella publicly buries ANOTHER one of his players
How many is that now?

There's absolutely no two ways about it. Fiery National Hockey League coach John Tortorella pulls no punches and tells it how he sees it - regardless of how literally anyone else feels about it.
He's once again back behind the bench with the Philadelphia Flyers, and immediately began his rule in the City of Brotherly Love with an iron fist with his first impressions of the overall health of the dressing room. What followed was an absolutely brutal training camp in which Tortorella began whipping his guys into shape. But, in classic Tortorella form, he's right back at it again by throwing his players under the bus with his latest comments.
He's already publicly trashed defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen, while having already benched top forward Kevin Hayes. And now, forward Morgan Frost is in Torts' crosshairs.
Following yesterday's 4-3 loss at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Tortorella was particularly brutal in his assessment of Frost's performance on the ice, despite his having scored.
“I thought he was brutal for most of the game," Tortorella said. "I was just trying to find some offense… I don’t think his game was anywhere near where it should be for most of the game.”
His comments completely contradict those made by Frost himself, who stated his belief that he's playing some of the best hockey of his career.
“I’m probably playing my best hockey right now," he said. "It’s probably the best I’ve played in my pro career. Hopefully I can keep it going.”
