"There is no acceptable explanation or excuse for commentary challenging the integrity of the League, its officials or its broadcast partners," said Colin Campbell, the NHL vice president of hockey operations. "People can disagree with calls by officials on the ice, but even in instances of the utmost frustration there is no justification for speaking as inappropriately and irresponsibly as Mr. Tortorella did."
1) Van Reimsdyke plowed mcDunnough into the rangers net knocking the net off the magnets and McDunnough gets called for delay of game?
2) Gaborik is on a break away and he gets hooked the last 20 feet to the slot (stick was waist level across his hands) any other game, any other time thats a hooking call in todays pussified NHL
3) Callihan gets tripped and they call a dive. You cant be tripped and dive, pick one, it is impossible to be both. Then dont change your call from diving to holding the stick.
4) Was the puck ever covered in the crease?
I didnt see the commentary of the game until I got home, I couldnt understand it when I was there but after seeing it on TV I could better understand his remarks, be honest, if you were John Tortorella, what would you think?
I'm just saying.
