I want to get off Mr. Tortorella’s Wild Line Blender

Related Topics: John Tortorella

John Tortorella may be jockeying for a post-hockey career in blender sales based on the way he’s mixed up the lines so far this season. The Philadelphia Flyers head coach has constantly mixed and matched his forward group with little-to-no consistency from game to game, or even period to period at its worst.

Entering Wednesday night’s game, 21 different forward combinations had played at least 21 minutes together, according to Alexander Appleyard. That’s more than the Hurricanes, Rangers, and Capitals combined.

Answer:

21 combos had 4+ TOI together coming into tonight.

Compared to Division:

BJs: 14
Canes: 5
Caps: 6
Devils: 15
Isles: 8
Rangers: 5
Pens: 16 https://t.
