Watch: Tortorella narrowly averts profanity at pregame presser

Who is this man, and what has he done with John Tortorella?

The Columbus Blue Jackets head coach stopped himself from cursing at the media session before Friday's game against the Montreal Canadiens.

He's been known to swear in scrums, during live in-game interviews, and of course behind closed doors in the dressing room.

This new kinder, gentler Tortorella might not be as much fun for mature fans or the media, but we're sure parents everywhere approve.
