	Penguins Notebook: Despite disagreements, Tortorella misses Roy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Yes, John Tortorella said, he had a few high-decibel exchanges with Andre Roy during their time together in Tampa.
		And that the impact of his absence since Roy signed with the Penguins as a free agent in the summer of 2005 still is being felt.
		Tortorella cited "our team concept" as one of the issues over which he and Roy skirmished, but praised the physical dimension Roy can add to a team, even while lamenting that its value has declined since the league put a renewed emphasis on speed and skill.

		John and his wife, Christine, live in Valrico with their two children, Britney attending the University of Tampa and a son named Dominick.

		Tampa coach John Tortorella believes the breakdowns in Tampa's 8-4 loss to Ottawa Tuesday were of a defensive nature and had little to do with the team's goaltending.
		Coach John Tortorella has been known to change his goalies often, and it might only be a matter of time before he gives Sean Burke the nod.
		Coach John Tortorella is a little trigger happy and is not afraid to pull a goalie or change the depth chart at a moment's notice.

	ESPN.com - Bolts' Tortorella shows staying power
		Sportswriters are known for a few things: a sixth sense when it comes to free food, polyester fashion crimes against humanity, and, most notably, the ability to move their feet from floor to mouth without breaking stride.
		Lightning coach John Tortorella could tell you all about it, only he won't, at least not as it pertains to his personal run-ins with the press.
		Tortorella's fiery temperament is well-known ("There's a lot of fire in the boy," Ramsay said), but a subtle change in strategy late last season also helped tilt players' trust in his favor.

	Tortorella loses his cool
		The calendar year was winding down, and thanks, in part, to the NHL lockout that wiped out the 2004-05 season, I had yet to report one of those classic, emotional outbursts by Tampa Bay coach John Tortorella.
		Tortorella, whose passion for the game is second to no other coach, lost his cool in the postgame media conference.
		Tortorella, a former Coyotes assistant coach, really lost his cool - and a PG rating - when a reporter later asked if the Lightning should pursue a trade for a goalie.

	Lightning coach already showing chippy attitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		There is a reason that Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock greeted John Tortorella's strange and very insulting rant with the gentle good humor of a grin and a laugh.
		Tortorella accused Hitchcock of yelling at the Lightning players during a particularly chippy third period in the Flyers' Game 2 victory.
		About five hours after he made those comments, Tortorella arrived in Philadelphia for an NHL press conference at which he declined to comment about what he said that morning, or what Hitchcock specifically did to set him off.

		The Tampa Bay Lightning rewarded Tortorella with a three-year contract extension through the 2008-09 season and signed Feaster to a four-year extension through 2010-11 on Tuesday.
		Tortorella guided the Lightning to the franchise's first Stanley Cup title in 2003-04 and earned the Adams Trophy as NHL Coach of the Year.
		Tortorella took over as Lightning coach in January 2001 and has compiled a record of 121-114-36-18, but the team is 35 games over.500 in his last two seasons with two division titles and a Stanley Cup.

		Tortorella and the Lightning have more to worry about on the ice now that the Flyers have won a game.

		But for John Tortorella, the bolt was to be cherished, admired and, most of all, respected.
		Instead, with Tortorella and assistant coaches Craig Ramsay and Jeff Reese devising a stable and unwavering manner in which the Lightning would play and think, and with general manager Jay Feaster allowing a foundation to form and then adding key elements, the franchise grew into a winner.
		Tortorella cracked the whip, just as he did when he coached the Rochester Americans to the Calder Cup in 1995-96 and a division title the next season.

		Lightning GM Jay Feaster and head coach John Tortorella will participate in a Q and A session for season ticketholders at 11 a.m.
		I like Taylor, a terrific guy, but some mail I've gotten this week (and one really harsh letter in particular) was intent on body-slamming the Lightning captain not only for his play last season but for his work as captain.
		In a nutshell, the writer wondered who named him captain in the first place (coach John Tortorella and GM Jay Feaster) and that Taylor could not lead AT ALL because of his injury and the fact that he played on the fourth line.

		I love how they conveniently left out his other quotes about how it's the players and the players only on the ice that will decide this series - not the coaches, or the managers, or the referees, etc. Something he preached back in the Philly series in 04 after the Hitchcock thing.

		Tortorella prefers a road start, because the other team will have the pressure to perform well.
		After last year's tandem of Sean Burke and an inconsistent John Grahame failed to materialize, this should be a marked improvement.
		That relative lack of aggression gnawed at Tortorella in the off-season.

	CBC Sports Online: NHL Playoffs 2006
		Coach John Tortorella has seen enough from Tampa Bay goaltender John Grahame and will start veteran Sean Burke in the team's next and possible last playoff game of the year.
		The 39-year-old Burke has only played in 37 playoff games during his 16-year career and will be given the unenviable task of leading the Lightning out of their two-game deficit against the best team in the NHL's Eastern Conference this year.
		Tortorella put the blame squarely on the shoulders of Grahame, who was pulled from the last contest after allowing four goals on only 17 shots in two periods.
