WATCH: John Tortorella Ejected vs Lightning, Refuses to Leave Bench

John Tortorella was back home in Tampa Bay to face off against the Lightning and let's just say he put on a show.

Torts' Flyers were getting worked early on against the Lightning on Saturday night, down 4-0 just 10 minutes into the game and Wes McAuley decided he had heard enough from the Flyers bench boss.

Of course Wes McCauley ejects John Tortorella on the night Tampa Bay celebrates their 2004 Stanley Cup champions.

That’s just what Wes McCauley does; making it about himself and grabbing the spotlight from the true reasons fans come to watch hockey. Pathetic.

If you had any doubt that the Flyers new culture starts at the top consider this: Just spoke to Flyers CEO Dan Hilferty about Torts getting ejected from Saturday night's game in Tampa and he said he will pay any fine levied by the NHL
