The Columbus Blue Jackets are heading home. A late-game comeback by the Tampa Bay Lightning culminated in Brayden Point’s overtime goal that gave the Tampa Bay Lightning a win in Game 5 to advance into the second round.
So, of course, we go to John Tortorella for his thoughts.
Torts' post-game press conference didn’t even last for a minute. After the second question — or, more accurately, cutting the reporter off during the second question — Torts called an end to the presser himself, wishing everyone on the call well before walking off.
Classic Torts! Of course, there are always going to be a lot of emotions involved while coming off a season-ending loss, so it’s understandable.
This is definitely something we’re used to with Torts, though — it isn’t even his first post-game presser under 60 seconds of these playoffs!
