John Tortorella gets kudos for his handling of Sean Couturier: "I don't think he's happy at all (In terms of his play). I don't think I need to run to Coots, in terms of how he's playing. I'm not going to give anything away for free (Ice time), just because of his status."

John Tortorella says that Scott Laughton is playing better than Coots, and that's why he is getting more ice time than him. He said it doesn't matter who the player is, if one is playing better than the other he's going to elevate them
John Tortorella on Cam Atkinson: "He's got to wait his turn. If I think it's time for him to come back in, I hope he's sticks in. It really isn't confusing for me. If you play well you're going to get more minutes, if you play bad you are going to have to wait your turn."

John Tortorella on Cal Petersen: "We just didn't feel that Cal was good last game. It's not criticizing Cal, Sanny deserves a chance too. I don't think our team played great at Pittsburgh, but I don't think Cal played well. It's Sanny's turn now." #Flyers

Did Torts contemplate giving Petersen one more start? "No." So why Felix Sandstrom now? "I just didn't feel Cal was good enough the last game." Said there hasn't been a big discrepancy in AHL play between Petersen & Sandstrom. Petersen got his shot. Now Sandstrom gets his.
