Tortorella Fired After Cup Final Run | Sports News
Description
Vegas Golden Knights stunned the hockey world by firing coach John Tortorella—just days after he led them to a Stanley Cup Final appearance and a historic playoff run—despite his remarkable turnaround and near-victory. At 68, Tortorella delivered seven wins, zero losses in the final stretch, swept the top-seeded Avalanche, and took a lead in the Final. He’s devastated by the move, insisting he still wants to coach and earned the chance to finish with this team. Vegas’ decision to replace him with an AHL coach feels like a gamble, ignoring the momentum he built. Tortorella’s legacy is on the line, and the NHL will be watching closely as teams scramble to land a coach who just brought a franchise to the brink of glory.
