00:0039 wins the vegas golden knights had like and this is just in basketball this rarely happens
00:05like these monster upsets like vegas wasn't supposed to make the playoffs then made it
00:09vegas wasn't supposed to do anything and then not like on top of that just like hey hard fought
00:14game number seven crazy bounces they swept the avalanche entered in the stanley cup with torts
00:19like hey torts took a while six eight months to get a set no torts took like 24 hours to
00:24put a
00:24system in and here they are once again in the stanley cup final by the way vegas fans you
00:29know how good you have it's not supposed to be like this hey got a team 10 years ago and
00:33we're
00:33like three or four times already in the stanley cup final that's ridiculous at this point but
00:37john tortorello probably doesn't want to get fined so he's talking to the media after a clinching win
00:43in the series let's hear from him well john i want to ask you a question about yourself but i
00:47know
00:47you'd rather talk about your team first so let's start there what makes you the most proud of your
00:53group well i i you know how it is you cover it the ups and downs of playoffs momentum swings
01:01um i think our team just stays steady uh first couple of rounds we were down in one of the
01:06rounds
01:06i think they just stay themselves and they just play i know people are tired of hearing that but
01:11that's all we talk about is let's just go play it's one thing to ask a team to buy into
01:15the style
01:16of play that you like blocking shots playing hard you go out there and you watch your star players and
01:21high-end guys do it night in and night out why can this group do that they know how to
01:27win
01:27i watched jack eichel block one there i think in the end of the second period
01:32a number of other guys they've won before so they understand what it takes and um i'm proud of them
01:38you know i'm so fortunate to have the opportunity to meet a lot of these guys that i didn't know
01:43before i came here and and just see how they best part about towards here right he's probably let's
01:49say he leads them to the stanley cup championship there's a good chance towards might be fired by
01:53like january of next year he's getting through to the room right now though joe he is dotty and listen
02:01you got to give credit to the organization i mean this is their third stanley cup finals in nine
02:07seasons i mean that's just and they just they keep re-upping they they push the right buttons they get
02:15the right players and look at that i mean they're doing something well in vegas uh wouldn't have
02:21thought it'd be a hockey town but guess what it's very much a hockey town no matter how many sports
02:26they bring in there it's all about vegas
02:28you
