Summary
John Tortorella just made NHL history with his 787th career win, leading Vegas to a playoff-bound finish in his sixth NHL team stint — and he’s not done being controversial. Firing Bruce Cassidy, Tortorella’s no-nonsense style sparked a late-season surge, but also landed him a $100K fine and a draft pick penalty after refusing media access post-win. Known for his fiery reputation — including throwing a water bottle, walking out of pressers, and racking up suspensions — Tortorella’s legacy is as much about grit as it is about heart. Behind the tough exterior? He’s a devoted philanthropist with a foundation protecting kids, animals, and the environment — and with his 68th birthday looming, this might be his final shot at a championship.
