Flyers head coach John Tortorella has always had a bit of a rocky relationship with the media.

After a tough 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Sunday, Tortorella faced questions about goaltender Felix Sandstrom's performance.

Sandstrom had a rough outing, saving just 11 of the 14 shots he faced for a .786 save percentage. Tortorella didn't seem pleased, but his reaction took everyone by surprise.

As the reporter asked about Sandstrom, Tortorella shrugged and threw his arms up in frustration. After the question, he seemed to zone out for a moment before leaving the podium without a word.


It's unclear if Tortorella was more irritated by the reporter's question or Sandstrom's play, but it definitely added some humor to the post-game press conference following a tough loss.
