Bruins Head Coach Joe Sacco Fires Back At John Tortorella After Calling Out The Bruins
Boston Bruins head coach Joe Sacco just fired back at Flyers head coach John Tortorella for calling out the Bruins for diving.
The Boston Bruins ended up beating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in overtime after being down 3-1 entering the third period.
During the game, the Boston Bruins ended up having six power plays and went 1-for-6 with the man advantage. On the other hand the Flyers ended up have two power plays and went 1-for-2 on the power play.
John Tortorella felt like the Bruins were being favourited by the refs. During his post game interview, Tortorella ended up losing it and called out the officials, but also called the Bruins out for diving.
Here is what Tortorella had to say about the Bruins diving:
John Tortorella after today's game 😳
Clearly Tortorella did not like how the Bruins played, but today following practice, Joe Sacco defended his group of players and fired shots back at John Tortorella.
Here is what Sacco had to say:
"That's not our group. I mean, that's not our team, and that's not how we play. That's how I respond to that. That's not what we're about."
It's nice to see Joe Sacco defend his team, and not let someone like John Tortorella fire shots at them without defending them.
The Bruins have been playing as a whole team since Joe Sacco took over and the record shows that. Since taking over the Bruins have played 9 games and have a solid 7-2-0 record during that time.
