Daily News | ‘What else do you want, Coach?’ Flyers’ Noah Cates embracing every responsibility under John Tortorella
on Nov. 25, rookie forward Noah Cates received a crash course in going up against some of the best talent the league has to offer.
“I put him to the forefront, giving him 17, 18 minutes, ask him to check against the top players in the league,” Tortorella said. “And then I remember I said, ‘We need to get more offense out of you.’ [He said,] ‘What else do you want, Coach?’”to top forwards including center Sean Couturier and wingers Cam Atkinson and James van Riemsdyk, would-be bottom-sixers are bumped up in the lineup and called upon to take on added responsibility.
“His presence as far as away from the puck and understanding how to play that part of the game, he’s so far ahead of schedule,” Tortorella said. “And especially, I moved him from wing and put him to center on a team that’s struggling, it’s a hard thing. It’s a hard thing to ask of a young guy. But I think he’s handled himself so very well.”
“Just kind of trusting myself, trusting my instincts,” Cates said. “Offensively, I think I can just be better. It doesn’t have to take away from me defensively, being offensive. Being on the right side of the puck and whatnot can help all of us on both sides of the puck.”breaking his index finger
