I think we all can agree there's no coach in the NHL more hard on his players then Philadelphia Flyers Head Coach John Tortorella. Everywhere he's coached there's been plenty of stories from players who felt his wrath.
However, this case is a bit tougher when it comes to Joel Farabee, the 2018 14th overall pick that has struggled this season, after having disc replacement surgery this summer Farabee hasn't been able to get his game going.
This has caused the media to ask about how Farabee feels and if he's fully recovered. However, It seems Tortorella doesn't care about Farabee's surgery and how it's effected his play this season.
Farabee would talk with the media following Thursday's morning skate at the Prudential Center saying:
"For sure, I put a lot of pressure on myself to produce," Farabee said. "Right now, when you're not, it's frustrating. You can sit and complain and feel sorry for yourself. Or you can just try to be better the next game. That's what I plan to do.
As far as the injury, no, my body feels fine," Farabee said. "I feel really good, honestly, body-wise. Definitely struggling offensively. Now I'm really just trying to simplify. Don't want to turn too many pucks over because you do that, my night usually ends pretty quick. Just try to play a north-south game, play simple and play within the system."
