Sports rivalries aren’t limited to the field; they can also occur in the press room, often with spectacular results, as the Flyers’ coach John Tortorella and journalist Anthony SanFilippo demonstrated recently.
This icy tone stems from a study involving prominent figures in the sports world, Cutter Gauthier and Kevin Hayes.
This contentious scenario surfaced during a press conference that followed the Flyers’ sixth consecutive defeat.
Tortorella, who was evidently unhappy with the team’s performance, was put to the test one more by contentious reporter Anthony SanFilippo of the Snow the Goalie podcast.
Without holding back, Tortorella politely declined to answer any of SanFilippo’s inquiries, which were captured on camera for public viewing.
