Tortorella refused to answer questions from reporters following the game on his decision to scratch his captain and on Wednesday, one of his former players, Brandon Dubinsky, took to social media to rip his former coach.
Dubinsky, 37, spent eight of his 13 seasons in the National Hockey League with John Tortorella as his head coach - four with the New York Rangers and four with the Columbus Blue Jackets. With spending nearly a decade with someone as your coach, you get to know them pretty well and their tactics, so it's not too surprising to see Dubinsky call out his former coach.
