John Tortorella has become just the eighth NHL head coach to eclipse 1,500 games, passing Daryl Sutter on the all-time list. Next, former Philadelphia Flyers head coach Ken Hitchcock.

Torts will have to muster more wins to surpass Hitchcock at 1,578. Lately, the Flyers lost one of their last 10, winning six in the process. Torts and the Flyers head for a small Canadian trip tomorrow when Philadelphia visit Calgary and Edmonton.

The Flyers (19-11) rank second in the Metropolitan division currently and who is to attribute to it than Torts and counting down his top five moments!

5. Torts, Media Goes Wrong

New York Post’s reporter Larry Brooks was honored into the 2018 Hockey Hall of Fame. Hopefully, these two can reconcile and meet over great prestige or a Starbucks coffee. Torts was not afraid to voice himself and Brooks turned out to face the wrong end of the school bus.

4. A la Vista Panarin

Once a Ranger, Panarin never goes back. Torts vitalize his full intentions to sit out Panarin not because of trade capita but his full desire on no qualms.

Panarin later that season, signed a $81 million deal with New York and has since averaged 77 points per season, ranking fourth behind Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Nathan MacKinnon.

3. Inflamed

Following a 2014 line brawl between two rivaled Canucks and Flames, Torts seems to run into the wrong hallway with 23 other active NHL players and staff members.

2. Torts is Going to Disney.. Sorta

At 7:30, Torts is seen with the jovial gesture of love and joy as the Tampa Bay Lightning win their first Stanley Cup trophy in 12 mere years of existence. Torts is a winner and that is what everybody enjoys about him in the finale.

Brad Richards was the Conn Smythe recipient and took one home for the pride of Canada alongside countrymen Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier.

1. No. 1,500

Torts mentions the improvement of quickness and grinding. He talks about the preparation of prohibiting a minuscule information to the player. The mistakes and pitfalls are incumbent on players but what about Torts?

Torts sits at 1,500 but the rest of his legacy will settle on what wealth of knowledge or wisdom he will impart left. Torts is a future Hall of Famer, but not with Brooks.
