Now, former NHLer Brandon Prust has revealed a wild story about Torts on the latest episode of the Missin Curfew podcast.
According to Prust, Torts once told Brad Richards during his early days with the Rangers that he should go out and try some dr*gs to end a form slump.
Torts told Brad Richards to go out and do dr*gs because he was in a slump.
Obviously, this was most likely a joke and classic Torts having some fun, but given what we've heard about him over the years, it's certainly hard to tell. Either way though, it makes for a wild story.
