He was willing to fist fight Hartley in a hallway in Vancouver because he believed Bob went against the coaching code.
He absolutely would've thrown the guy to the curb and told him not to come back.
Torts is a lot of things, but he's not a passenger/bystander.

Yeah, I can see Torts being the kind of guy that wouldn't let something like that go unpunished. I'm not sure he would have broken through the NHL politics and blacklisted himself from working in the NHL, but I don't doubt that Aldrich would have been nowhere near the players after that and eating his meals through a straw.
