“I think handling himself really well,” Tortorella said Friday. “I wasn’t sure where all this goes with him and , the stuff flying around them. I know that a really big part of my job is to watch that and just make sure we are doing things the right way … it’s also the team as far as how they are handling the situation, I think it’s been really good.
