Former NHLer Ryan Kesler revealed he almost fought coach John Tortorella in 2014

Ryan Kesler was traded to the Anaheim Ducks after playing for the Vancouver Canucks. He won the Selke Trophy for being the best defensive forward in the 2010-2011 season. John Tortorella was the coach of the Canucks during Keser's last season in 2014. They had a bad game against the Dallas Stars and Tortorlla wanted to discuss the team's performance. Keseler and the other players were scared of him. He was afraid he would be shoved by the head coach. The incident happened in front of other young players. It was not the first time they had been at odds.

The year 2022 is one both the San Jose Sharks (11-19-6, seventh Pacific) and the Philadelphia Flyers (11-17-7, seventh Metropolitan) would rather forget.
