- The Columbus Blue Jackets capped a stunning sweep of the Presidents Trophy winners with a 7-3 victory Tuesday night. Tampa Bay became the first team in the expansion era, which began in 1967-68, to go winless in the first round of the playoffs after leading the league in points during the regular season.

getlost1631 REALLY AUDIO SUCKS
LOL I went to another video real quick to make sure my earbuds were still working properly.
Hey, huge respect from this Leafs fan. I love Tortorella. I like him more when he's mad as hell but it's nice to see the bright side of him after a series like that, too. He deserves it. He doesn't mess around.
This has to feel great for Torts... Sweeping the team that fired him!
Right Coast Torts took Tampa as far as they could go and they had nothing left to prove. Sadly, sometimes he expects more from people than they either have to give or want to give or BELIEVE they can give. He does tend to arrive with a Best Before Date and operate well within that window. However, with the millennials abounding in our society, it’s hard to get a whole team on-board with adopting a warrior mentality at the same time and for the same purpose ... he may not be the easiest coach to play for but you have to respect the commitment and performance he got out of some players who had latent greatness and whom he managed to help them manifest their true ability.
@@glenholmgren1218 He's one of my favorite coaches. I'm sure it isn't easy to play for him, but his way works. It's proven. I agree, it has to be tough to get everyone on board. But you can see when they do, like Columbus, it becomes a powerhouse team. Tampa went in thinking they could breeze through. That's what got them. They had no fight in them.
@@rightcoast7049 welp tampa just breezed by them
@@captainrex59 As they should've the first time too with that team :D this sweep remains legendary.
From a Canes fan, congrats to Columbus and their fans, one of the biggest upsets in my 30+ years of watching playoff hockey, lets go small-market teams!!!!
This is definitely one of the biggest upsets in ALL of sports history.
Pwhit PG no doubt, it’s the most baffling thing I’ve ever seen in sports. Not even so much that the bolts lost the series but in the fashion they got swept. I was at game 1 in Tampa, after the first period we’re up 3-0 and proceed to get smoked and swept. Wasn’t even close. Unreal
@@pwhit765 Biggest upset in post-expansion NHL. (1967 - 68)
Game 7 of the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals with the Lightning against Calgary springs to mind
Congratulations John Torterella and the Blue Jackets. Well done. 😄👏👏👏🏒🏒🏒
So many people hate on Tortz and say he is a crappy coach. This man has his name on the cup and now the biggest upset in NHL playoff history on his side. This guy is a mastermind and knows hockey.
I’m glad that Torts is still making an impact in NHL. He has interesting and original things to say, not the usual dribble and boilerplate you hear from so many others.
I turned my phone off before I watched this
Lol this!!
Congrats dude
Love you, Torts, GO CBJ from a New York Rangers fan, GO GET EM GUYS!!
Torts is a totally different guy when he's not pissed.
As a columbus native torts is respected like urban meyer here. We love a coach with backbone! Go jackets
Austin Ripple He is the ANTI-Cooper!
Lots of passion and experience and can in-game adapt the life out of another team ...given a team with at least some level of talent, grit, drive and maturity.
Does anyone even think Cooper understands how underwhelming his influence has been - most talent-laden team in the whole world right now but couldn’t generate the desire to dominate and impose their will.
Stevie-Y is probably ashamed of ever being associated with this big bunch of losers now - he would have KILLED someone in that dressing room! 🧐
Pens fan here. I was cheering and going crazy over this game over watching my own teams game 4. One of the most exciting games I've seen, real happy for torts.
first time I have ever seen Tortorella happy. amazing series win for this team and this city! with TB out it's a complete toss up for the cup now.
Happy for Columbus. Happy for Duchene (Avs fan). Blue Jackets have a ton of heart. Torts has a lot of fire, and Cooper was anemic. Hard work beats talent (not saying that the Blue Jackets aren't talented).
Hey I'm a avalanche fan too, you ready for tonight's game
@@mr.master4540 Yes! They have been playing very well the past two games. The Avs must continue to out-work Calgary, they can't afford to let them gain momentum.
@@jumpingpeppers2263 I agree, if the avs win tonight they can get comfortable and breathe a little, I am unsure of the future rounds, I only like hockey no other sports so I don't know what it's like to get upset over a team
@@mr.master4540 avs will win tonight 4-2
@@mr.master4540 The Avs should only relax once they win the series. It's very possible for the Flames to come back from 2-1 or 3-1 to win the series if the Avs let up. I like the way Columbus closed this series quickly. The Lightning finally started to wake up in game 4, but the Blue Jackets said "Nope."
Caps fan, but truly happy for these guys. Was impossible not to root for them while watching. Good luck the rest of the way (unless we should meet in the ECF).
I am a fan of the team because of Torts.
This season has been up and down. This series has proven how I saw the team. These Jackets can beat anyone if they play as a unit.
Congrats JACKETS!!
#GOJACKETSGO
@Glorious_Dominator16 You are spot on! Ia m a Rangers fan. But, man oh man, would I love to see CBJ and the NYI battle it out for the East. Very happy for Torts, who is a great coach. I personally think the best aspect for him was leaving the Rangers, even as successful as he was over there. J.D. great President and Kekalainen, level-headed GM. Go CBJ.
Glorious_Dominator16 Agreed - who wants to bet Duchesne has a stellar playoffs this year - specificities because of Torts personality and style? 👍😁
I’m a Blackhawks fan, but tired of seeing the same teams at the top every year. Thanks for coming out Pittsburg & TBL - GO CBJ!
“Specificities”... ? Oohhhhh, Crapple! Auto-Corrupt strikes again! 🤪
S/B: “specifically”
Kings fan here, i love watching your guys’ team! The energy and will reminds me so much of our 2012 champion team. I’m rooting for y’all, now go win the cup!
Thank you Torts for the Tampa Stanley Cup in 2004.
And F^#k you Torts for shaming Tampa in 2019 for years to come.
@@floridabeardedwoodworker Good on Torts for winning. What did he say or not say that has you so up in arms?
dismantle that team,they are useless when its grit time! haha
Respect for Torts and his guys.
Chief Tortorella enthusiastically says, "You're the number one cop on the force Bobrovsky!"
Impressive sweep guys! I hope we get a shot at you in the second round. GLG!
Yes!! Go Buds Go!!
Always loved Torts as a Rangers fan, I think he's finally found a team that fits his coaching style. Kind of makes me think of a José Mourinho of hockey.
So true, in today's game most players would eventually lose interest with his demands. Gotta give the Blue Jackets credit for believing in him, his system, not flaking with his high expectations and when he holds them accountable for their mistakes.
as a soccer and cbj fan, exactly what i thought. not the best team but well structured, and they all work hard for each other. im excited for the next few weeks.
The difference between Tortz and Mourinho is that Tortz is actually still employed at this moment
Short shelf life.
As a Lightning fan, appreciate Torts leading us to a cup 15 years ago. Congrats to the Blue Jackets. Rooting for the Bruins and then the Blue Jackets to bring Lord Stanley home!
Congratz to torts.
Beating top team in league and team playing some great hockey. And Bobrovs ...man keep stopping that puck, you got some solid D men back there .
from habs fan.
Let's move forward to the next round boys. Bob was amazing. Fifth Line with a huge assist!
Congrads coach T, did a spectacular job with this team, amazing mind blowing, very exciting to watch, in to the second round, great Luck to ya, 👍👍
gg, you guys out worked us and earned this win. We just flashed our 62 wins and expected the jackets to lay down and die. Till next year 🍻
Isaac Chambers as a pens fan, the sweep is real
Isaac Chambers Well said
I know, I know, Im not getting too amped up here. It is only one round. But at the same time, its been 19 damn years of disappointment and frustration. God please, keep them on track here! Got 2 hours of sleep last night, was in tears just like Davidge was on TV after the game. Its been a long road and last night, this series, vs that team. It... Meant.... A... Lot! I felt EXACTLY like Dubinsky did when he hugged Foligno after the game. The years of pent up frustration came out!
Congrats to a super hard working coach who clearly deserves the credit for solving the Tampa Bay steam roller and decisively eliminating them from the playoffs. How often does this happen? Not very often and Torts really does deserve it. Vindication is putting it mildly.
DandelionTV Yeah, Man! More like Historic Vindication
What an awesome coach! Go Torts!
The result in game 1 was key
The 2nd and 3rd periods they worked harder and wanted it; great goaltending
Owned the series and grew in stature
Coached well, played for each other and as a team and they nailed it
That 3-3 moment last night was superb
Respect from an Oilers fan
Congratulation, amazing series
absolute legend
Good team effort, great pick ups at the trade deadline
If it wasn't for him and his team, just here to pay respect for sweeping us and giving us the lesson we needed to learn as a team. He got us our first cup, I love torts.
Now we're the monster he created🌚
Either way respect to every team we faced. Especially Toronto and Rangers. Panthers are amazing, all they need is more playoff experience. If they take this the way we took our sweep, then God help us all lol. Seriously, AWESOME playoffs
I am impressed with Blue Jackets and am excited for Columbus Fans! The one who brought this team together and believe than can is Torts.This man was A-Hole and nobody wanted for a coach,Now I see a man with compassion and is Humble.The players and the franchise see and Respect this man.When you have Respect,All Will Go To War And Battle For A common Goal!A Canucks Fan....Peace
Lightning Fan here.. Still have love for Torts.. we in Tampa KNOW what a great coach he is.. i cant under state how much Marty St Louis helped them out as well.. Feel like we were totally out coached.. we have too much talent not to at least win a game in the series, but no excuses.. i hope the blue jackets go far in the Playoffs.... As for the Lightning, they need some players with Playoff WINNING experience and with a hell of a lot more Grit than what we showed.. We had a great season, but nothing matters but what you do in the Playoffs and our coach needs to take notes...
Atleast you can respect both sides here, I'm a avalanche fan so I know what it's like to get discouraged
Congrats Columbus, Ohio
Great job coach Torts!
Torts: Continuing to crush other teams playoff hopes. Well done Sir.
What did we learn? THE JACKETS DESERVE TO BE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!! CBJ!!! CBJ!!!
Caps fan here. Columbus Blue Jackets are a good team and a tough team. I know that first-hand. They are looking good. Congrats to John Tortorella and is Columbus Blue Jackets. Maybe we'll see him in the playoffs.
@John Krausse what are you smoking?
Torts is a good man. Good for him,team and fans. He deserves everything he gets
Perfect coach to a team like Columbus. He is definitely a leader, but allows his team to find their own
Great Coach nice to see Columbus sweep, they played immaculate hockey, stingy defense, blocked shots, stellar offense and superb Goaltending.. They may just hoist that Cup..
I'm a Leafs fan, so I hope they don't beat us if we make it to round two, but I'm being a realist, they sure could..
You have a beaut in Torts (Leafs fan), he's a hard individual but truly has a lot of heart. Respect and congratulations.
Best coach in the ligue period.
barry trotz
Will see !
I don't even watch hockey but I know this guy thanks to RUclips.
That question about “galvanizing” was one of the most idiotic questions I’ve heard in a long time. Have a good question ready instead of a sophomoric one
One thing I've always loved about Torts is how he doesn't really hide it when something is pretty stupid haha
Seriously. He may as well have asked, "Do you think it's important to win games?"
Dumb as fuck that guy !
"Someone took my question, and I didn't do what any other person who has the responsibilities of my job would! If I don't ask a question, my boss will get angry! Quick...think Dave think...uh...uh...what did he just say..."galva---wha"? OMG it's mai turn now...."
As a leafs fan, very inpressed good job sweeping the bolts. Good hockey
Great series way to go Torts...
Congrats Blue Jackets!!! So happy for Torts!!! He deserves it!!! My blues are about to go down in 6 so I’ll be rooting for you Blue Jackets!!!
Still believe that?
J James well now it’s impossible for my blues to lose in 6 so it’d have to be 7. They’ve shown they can win in Winnipeg 3 times but if it does get to game 7, both teams will lay it all out on the line so it could go either way.
What a game..what a series...the way we won and who we beat ends up being historic and and very special...I know it's only one series but you have to be a bulejacket fan to understand...we been through it...this fan base is resilient..congrats to them congrats to the team and the organization congrats to this city..but this anit over and that just fine with me..GO JACKETS..
Wtg Columbus even as a flyers fan I'm happy you all swept the lightning with some hard work. Good luck the rest of the way. I'd love to see different teams win the cup.
Good for Columbus
Columbus is a roll with veteran coach Tortorella it should be a fun ride
Shocked.....well done.
Yup, congrats. A team and a coach thats easy to root for as a hockey fan. Quite a few teams doing well this year that im happy to see having success! Isles, flames, jackets, all teams this sabre fan finds easy to be happy for!
Congrats, Torts. Your boys looked good in round one. Heck of a job!
This series win by Columbus has really raised the stock value for Tortorella especially after his failures in Vancouver and New York. Good for him.
@Chris Ritchie What the hell are you talking about? Failures in New York? SMH
Congrats to Torts and Jackets. Been a frustrating few years and then this happens. Gotta feel good for him.
Tortorella tortures Tampa completely
@Liam Cleary-Syling This is for the series that I'm talking about. We definitely know that he'd won his 1st Stanley cup back in 2004 and Fedotenko was the hero of that game 7 where he had 2 goals and the captain Andreychuk was sitted in the penalty box
@Liam Cleary-Syling As a Jackets fan, yes the fuck we will remember him for a looong time.
Torts, "I'm not a touchy-feely guy" . Knock me over with a feather.
Happy for Columbus. Ecstatic for Duchene and Dzingle. it only speaks of the importance of having Columbus' commitment towards their players.
Torts has now turned into a priest when he does post game shows. UNREAL. He is soft spoken, stutters a bit, slows down his phrases.... I liked the old Torts ... fire and brimstone. BUT it seems to work for him...
Jean-Paul Moreau he’s exhausted.
I think Torts will get better and better, he cools down a bit, gets bit softer which is as important as ability to be rough. He looks good. I'm just scared that everyone will expect miracles now.
Grats to their GM and Torts they went from near sellers to contenders.
As a Rangers fan I miss this guy , He loves his job , He loves his players and He loves the fans
Red Wings fan, but I’ve always respected Torts. Based as hell, zero f’s, but you watch that pre-game 1 speech you would run though a wall for this guy. Congrats!
I keep hoping for a cell phone to go off amongst the reporters to see Torts’ patience put to the test again 😂
Trotz and Torts....two best coaches in the NHL.
Torts is the man.
Go Go Jack's !!!
I always thought tortz was a awesome coach he's just misunderstood I think Columbus has a chance to go to finals now
Guess I never noticed this before but what happened to Tortorella's right thumb?
way to go Torts
dont think he heard the last part of the question, but wanted torts to clarify if it was home fans or tampa fans that poured beers on him. gotta check the highlites, hopefully can catch it...guessing it was home fans, cuz if it was tampa fans torts probably wouldve been pissed off/fired up when he mentioned it, followed by a story of almost fighting a fan or havin a tampa fan kicked out by ushers. great story for cbj fans and city, happy for them. historic 2019 first round. thats playoff hockey and what hockey dreams are made of. the "kids" in the dressing room celebrating this one...indeed.
and all this from a leafs fan :)))) see u in the next round cbj for an equally epic series of storylines...
as a bruins fan thank god Tampa is out of the way. but Columbus is on fire now I think im just as scared for the bruins to face them. if they can beat Toronto that is
I was rooting for the CBJ the whole series. Go Bruins!!!!!
I have to say, I have a plate of crow in front of me. I did not think that the Blue Jackets would be the team being swept but I did not think they would take the series. Sweep the series? I'm still not sure I did not dream that. Now, back to my plate of crow.
Depending on how far they go and how they play to get there, Bob and Bread may seriously think about signing back on. And why not?
One round, but it's a boost and a half. Just like last year here in Winnipeg!
WHERE'S BROOKSIE?
Hes been gone for a long time
GET GOT THE FUCK OUTTA THEYA CAN YOU GET THAT THROUGH YA FUCKIN HEAD ?
Congrats to the Jackets funs! Great victory.. but it is a first step only.. tomorrow you need forget about it..
See you game 3, next round! We love our jackets.
Atta boy Torts!!!!
The presidents trophy seems to be a curse. Blue jackets have been in playoff mode for over a month. Tampa has been coasting without desperation for half a season. I’m a pens fan and have witnessed it a lot over the years. You need to be battle tested coming into the playoffs. The islanders beat the pens in every possible way you could mention. As did the BJs. I would love to see the match up!!!
Biggest choke in NHL playoff history. You would think they would win at
least 1 game in 4 tries. Truly a embarrassment. The management team went
on twitter after the game to apologize to their fans. Does Cooper lose
his job over this. The team fell apart after they were leading 3 to 0 in
the first game. One has to wonder if this teams has any heart or pride
at all.
Vancouver misses youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
great job torerella
Torts is a MAN and Cooper is a Ma'am.
Cooper might get fired after this one.
@@dylanm3519 If he isn't, I'll be fuckin' amazed
My right ear enjoyed that soft air massage.
Why is my left headphone working and my right one isn't?
Thought my shit was broken bruh
Nice
CBJ!!!!! No one gave us a glimmer of a chance. Never count out the underdogs. CBJ!!!!
right on blue jackets go all the way win the cup
For the sound guy
I have always found it difficult not to like Torts.
Keep trying though, it's worth it.
No matter what, the jerk looks the genius.
quite a diff in this torts compared to when he was coaching the rangers lol... wait till next year when expectations will likely change for this team. what a difference though. torts deserves to be happy after coaching the rangers lol i think he went through hell there even though that was some time ago.
“as you go forward in the playoffs you have to learn how to win”
gee really? never would’ve guessed
Боб - лучший! 75% успеха команды принадлежит ему.👏👏
Ну и Панара конечно же. Давай, зёма! Че за тебя!🍞👍
