In a surprising twist, Tortorella will not be serving as the bench boss for the Philadelphia Flyers tonight. Instead, he will be watching the game from the press box alongside Interim GM Daniel Briere. Assistant coach Brad Shaw will assume the role of head coach for the evening.
While Tortorella's choice to observe his team from a different perspective is understandable, it's not something we often see. Hopefully, this unique vantage point will help Tortorella discover the insights he's seeking about his team's performance.
