What an angry man.
I've never been a fan of Torts either, always seem to be on player bashing mode, punitive trainings etc.
I guess GMs see something that we don't if he keeps getting jobs around the league.
At least two terrible calls by the refs though. They decided the game.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Philadelphia coach John Tortorella reluctantly left the bench Saturday night after receiving a game misconduct and bench minor early in the Flyers’ 7-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
On a night that the 2004 Stanley Cup-winning Lightning team that Tortorella coached was honored, he lasted just 10:49 into the game before receiving the penalties right after Philadelphia fell behind 4-0.
Tortorella expressed displeasure toward the officials, and then repeatedly told referees Wes McCauley and Brandon Schrader that he would not leave.
Less than a minute later, Philadelphia right wing Garnet Hathaway was given a 10-minute misconduct for making contact with Tampa Bay’s Anthony Cirelli during a timeout for a line change.
“I’ve never seen that,” Flyers center Sean Couturier said about Tortorella’s ejection.
But Bowman added he did get tossed once as in coach in the juniors with Peterborough for throwing spare sticks on the ice during a game at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens.
