John Tortorella, the coach of the Philadelphia Flyers, seems to have made a firm decision to ignore any questions from the reporter, Anthony SanFilippo, who spread false news about Kevin Hayes' involvement in Cutter Gauthier's trade out of Philadelphia.
Last month, SanFilippo, covering the Philadelphia Flyers, reported in his CrossingBroad.com column that Hayes had his "fingerprints all over" the trade of Cutter Gauthier out of the Flyers organization. Gauthier was traded to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Jamie Drysdale and a second-round draft pick in the 2025 draft.
The claims from SanFilippo were vehemently denied by both Hayes and Gauthier. Following that, the situation escalated when John Tortorella confronted the reporter during one of his press conferences and expressed his frustration with the media's penchant to spread false news.
