Coach John Tortorella on Flyers dressing room culture

“I am in no rush to name a captain. So, that’s it.
As far as the room. I have major concerns about the room. I’ve spent the summer going back and forth. I live in New York. I’ve been going back and forth to Philly to try and relocate there. But spent some time in the office talking to players. Talking to personnel. Talking to Chuck, all the front office.
And I have major concerns on what goes on in there and before we even step on the ice, situations, standards and accountability in the room, is at the forefront. You can’t get squat done on the ice until you get your room straightened out, and I think we have a little bit of work to do there.”
