Tortorella & Sullivan: Best friends off the ice, round one rivals

John Tortorella and Mike Sullivan talk about their friendship and how they feel squaring off against each other in round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

[@skullyface1]

No matter what city your from, Respect is earned for Sully and Tortorella.

[@quinnhunt6124]

awesome, don't care who your favorite team is, hockey is about enjoying the sport with eachother, so when you get in a debate with a person who is a fan of a rival team, just know that both you guys share a love for the sport, the best sport I might add

The Donald That's huge

[@quinnhunt6124]

YUGE*

[@zezoworld1330]

Well said

[@boolikethebear]

best sport is womens beach volleyball, bc hockey is a close second.

[@dougfunny2347]

true bromance

[@nicholasehrhart8916]

I would say tortorella Sullivan rivalry is much better then Crosby and ovechkin rivalry

[@stevocanuck]

2 great coaches let go by the Canucks.

[@Jtry_]

Alain Vigneualt in 2013, Sullivan and Tortorella in 2014, Glen Gulutzan left for Calgary in 2016. And now Willie Desjardins in 2017.
Not only are we a goalie's graveyard, but a coaches graveyard too. It's going to be a long 3-5 years for us Canuck fans.

[@billytessio6326]

I think it'll be 8 more years.

[@stopdropandroll]

Rastamazing LMAO! Willie is the only one I can't give a rat's ass about.

[@ctx4241]

I think with coaches on this level specifically, there is no measure of how great they are, but how they click with team

[@matthewsmith2237]

I know canucks fans hated his tenure but as a canucks fan I gotta say. Torts winning another cup is something I wanna see before I die

[@nicholasehrhart8916]

Tortorella vs Sullivan best coaching rivalry

[@seaBBB]

Sullivan: How do I coach Joe
Tortorella: don't
Sullivan: what
Tortorella: trade him
Sullivan: why
Tortorella: he won't win a cup
Sullivan: ok then
- Years later -
Sullivan: well that worked out well

[@nicholasehrhart8916]

[@nathanstarszak7844]

Their relationship reminds me of Parcells and Belichick with Tortorella being parcells and Sullivan being Belichick

On the ice: They fight
Off the ice: They kiss

“How many cups does Sullivan have?” (Ah ha, he’s got more)

Ah what could have been if the Nucks stayed with Torts. We could have had a chance at McDavid.

"Every time we play the blue jackets I know he wants to beat our team and we certainly want to beat their team, it is just how we are wire"
- Mike Sullivan won the award for stupidest comment on the internet

[@benzodanklin9527]

better have those dishes done before Mike gets home

[@naught_]

Jordan F I think Torts takes that title with his "You belong here" speech prior to Pens Jackets game 1

[@scarycrazymann]

Jordan F well he's got a ring and could possibly get another one so why would it even matter?

[@lucarossi8913]

Jordan F not stupid at all lol , when you're playing a friend in sports especially hockey you always want to win more , idiot

[@rightcoast7049]
