Reporters, for the sake of not getting on John Tortorella’s bad side, do not call Torts by a different name.
During April 14’s Canucks press conference, TSN’s reporter Farhan Lalji found himself in a awkward situation when he accidentally called John Tortorella “Mike.” Torts proceeds to cut him off and then fires back by calling him an a**hole while live on air.
Torts concludes the segment by smiling at the camera and saying “I was just kidding”
Farhan Lalji later tweeted:
Took one on the chin for calling Torts "Mike". Good times…
