Read: Did John Tortorella Lose His Chance At Coaching Team USA in 2014?

Early on in the playoffs, Steve Simmons,wrote in the Toronto Sun that John Tortorella’s reputation had been severely damaged and that “if he had any ambition to coach the U.S. Olympic team in 2014, well, he can probably forget about it now.”

He writes that Tortorella was thought to be the favorite to follow Ron Wilson as coach of Team USA in 2014, but now it is likely to be Peter Laviolette or Dan Bylsma.
