I love how he thinks he has a relationship with torts outside the rink, he’s delusional

Brooks is a hack. "away from the rink we get along great. " Because you're nowhere near him away from the rink

The fact that Torts calls him Brooksie significant. That's a team type nickname - the chirps with him were for the publicity.

Actually Torts was at Larry golf tournament that same year.

Brooks has been with the post since 1970 I would say he does know the game

No he doesn’t he doesn’t know what he’s talking about

Does Brooks try and make himself part of his stories?

He's lost a considerable amount of weight. Good for him.

If you could compare this to today's times, this is Trump and Acosta.

OPEN yer eyes Brooks!

Anybody who doesn't think these two did it for the press and publicity............Probably think wrestling isn't fake either.

This made good news lol, it's a symbiotic love hate relationship between two men doing their jobs. Don't think for one minute bonds aren't built between the coaches, players, and the newsmen that cover them. He calls him Brooksie for fuck sakes, thats a hockey players bond. The fact a journalist gets called that by him is a sign of some respect to a degree. He may be a pain in the ass certainly, but Tortorella calling him that shows that he is in the "boys" club.

Larry Brooks is a no clue hockey reporter. The best thing he can do for hockey is shut up. Why doesn't Larry cover women's college Lacrosse?

@@thecrusader7685 This is the kind of shit Brooksie writes "But though this time Ovechkin was able to survive his nemesis, Sidney Crosby, let’s not rush to rewrite history and airbrush The Great 8’s blemishes out of the picture. After losing last year’s second-round Game 7 to the Penguins, Ovechkin was told that he was fat by a player he respects. He reported this year in condition befitting a 32-year-old." Now, let's get some context, this was right after Ovechkin had won the Stanley Cup, and anybody with any marbles between their ears that watched the Capitals knows that he was *NEVER* the reason why the Caps didn't advance past the second round those many years. Ovi always wore his heart on his sleeve, put up points (and more importantly goals) and hit as many people as possible - aka what he's paid to do.

The Crusader who cares what he’s “covered.” Did he ever play the sport? Did he ever coach it? Even just USA Hockey Level 1 certification? Coach amateurs or professionals? Writing about something just because you’re a fan or you like something doesn’t mean anything. Maybe he’s been covering it for 40 years cause he sucked at covering something else? Who knows. I’m not in that market or area of the country. But when you’re on KZread for getting clowned by a professional sports person it’s not a good look. As a writer you’re not supposed to be a part of the storytelling. Brooks seems to relish that. Makes for great theater but not a great journalist. I’m sure he never misses his opportunity to be at a JT press conference.

Seems like a nice guy, unlike how he's seen by others.

Oh Brooksie..

How old are you bud? Brooks has been covering hockey for the Post since the 70's, so I would say he knows quite a bit about the NY Ranger hockey scene friend.

I bet Brooksie got beat up at the bus stop a lot.

Brooks is probably the media equivalent of the Tortorella personality and character. Hence, the consistently idiotic blow-ups between the two. Too much gunpowder and TNT in the stunt effects. From a coaching perspective, it is good to see Tortorella out of the NHL. From a journalism perspective, now that Tortorella is bye-bye for good, perhaps Brooks can go back to making things less about him vs Tortorella and more about the teams he is covering.

Dude looks good lost some weight

this dude has no place talking this much about someone elses job. enough with the politics - fans should keep their minds on the game. politics and business is a part of hockey i can do without.

Larry Brooks is a typical "I never played the game so I try to get my respect by being a big shot columnist who can affect players on the ice and teams off of it" journalist. He's a jerk.

The way he treats John Tortorella this guy is the worst journalist ever
