John Tortorella Scratches a Surprising Player For Tonight's Game
John Tortorella, the head coach of the Flyers, has informed defenseman Tony DeAngelo that he will not be playing in tonight's game against the Dallas Stars. DeAngelo, who joined the group of scratches skating this morning in Dallas, will be a healthy scratch for the game.
This decision by Tortorella comes after a disappointing loss to the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, which prompted some criticism from Flyers assistant coach Rocky Thompson. Thompson observed that some players in the locker room appeared to be "just not trying" and "don't even care."
Tortorella's decision to sit DeAngelo may be an attempt to shake things up and send a message to the team that lackluster performances will not be tolerated. With Tortorella back behind the bench tonight, the Flyers will be looking to bounce back and show that they are committed to giving their all on the ice.
