We Demand the Video Footage of John Tortorella and Sam Carchidi’s “Blow Up”
Published:
This happened Tuesday evening, but there’s no video of it:
Torts also had a little blow-up with Sam Carchidi today after Sam asked him why he decided that the Flyers weren't going to have a captain next year either, given his praise all year for Scott Laughton (who has the only A).
It was an eventful pregame availability.

Anthony and I tripled checked, and the footage does not exist. The pregame video clips are always posted in full on the Flyers’ YouTube page, but when we went to look, there is a huge jump cut a few minutes in, which suggests that the Torts/Carchidi exchange was edited out:
Went looking for video of the Torts/Carchidi blow-up, and it does not exist. Looks like it was edited out of the YouTube clip. Check out the jump cut here: pic.twitter.com/gnivmH4TN6

This is not acceptable. The people demand video of Torts vs. Sam Carchidi! This is a matter of public information and the video should be released. We call on the Flyers to do the right thing and immediately release the redacted footage, and if not, our lawyers will will be in contact with yours. Once we get some lawyers.
This is the way.
