Flyers HC John Tortorella gives short interview consisting of just 8 words after 6-4 loss to Canes

After the Philadelphia Flyers' 6-4 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, coach John Tortorella delivered a notably brief interview, consisting of just eight words.

Known for his dynamic and sometimes fiery interactions with the media, Tortorella surprised many with his minimal response. During a post-game shower interview, he simply said "No", followed by "Yep," and added that he wasn't going to dissect the game.

Tortorella said:

"No,' 'Yep,' "I'm not gonna dissect it', 'Ok.'"

The succinct approach highlighted his frustration especially after the Flyers let the game slip away in the last minute by conceding two quick goals.

It marked back-to-back defeats for Tortorella and the Philadelphia Flyers, who are bottom of the Metro Division with nine points.
