I'm sure multiple coaches and players have felt similarly about the questions they were being asked. It's just not super common to see reporters be faced with so much sass - with the exception of when it's coming from Tortorella.
This clip of Torts comes just two days after Ian Cole scored a ridiculous goal against Carter Hart in Tampa's 4-1 win over Philly on Thursday. You know what goal I'm talking about.
Hockey fans knew that Torts wouldn't be thrilled about such a play against his goalie and went on to say this during post-game availability.
Of course, what we see in the media could be drastically different from how he is in the dressing room.
