Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella is less than thrilled with the way his team has been playing.
The club was creamed by the Nashville Predators 5-1 on Saturday, and Tortorella wants to avoid another brutal loss when the Blue Jackets visit the Washington Capitals Monday.
"I do not want our team and our organization embarrassed again, and we were," Tortorella said, according to Todd Jones of the Columbus Dispatch. "There's nothing positive to say about our team right now based off last game."
Asked if the team's recent 1-3-0 record has made him the most disappointed since he joined the club, he was frank.
"I'm not disappointed, I'm pissed," Tortorella said.
Preparing for Monday's game against the Eastern Conference's top team, the outspoken coach didn't have a lot of optimism.
The Blue Jackets currently hold claim to the second worst record in the Eastern Conference.
