John Tortorella Gives His Honest Opinion On The State Of The Flyers

"John you talked about trying to build a culture, trying to build a identity. Your response was ask me in a few months ask me later. In that letter you sent out Monday you basically said you guys our on the right track. In regards to that as I ask why do you feel that way?"

"I'll use one word, belief. I think there's belief. Um we'd go through the month of January, how we go through a month of January how we grouped after the 10-game losing streak or more was a 10 and then coming to the month of January when you look at the calendar honestly and I said it to myself too I said where are we going to be and I saw them give and I I saw them help one another conflict along the way with coaches and players and players backing up players when this conflict that all the little things that that you see a team try to come together and believe I think it's starting having said that it's still we still got to keep working at it and I and I don't want I am not going to criticize anybody before me or the teams before this stuff came in but I I just felt in the summertime and we started this I just thought we weren't on the tracks right I think we've got yourself get stuck there too long you might fall off the tracks again and that's where I think we're at but I think it's a positive sign really excited about the opportunity to see how we handle the intensity and the hardness of the last quarter of the year it's going to be I hope it's good thoughts at the end I'm not sure if it is not I can't predict that."
