Pouria Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yes the new "Mangaged "Instead of previous reffed Nhl in order to make Every Nhl Team competetive and make owners money with giving each fan hope, will fine You big time for Exposing how they Really are Only one rung above the WWF on how outcomes are determined. Apparently the Owners have All agreed this is what they want and have given Bettman the okay with this The Nhl and its integrity and sport is now a shadow of itself, is becoming less entertaining and more predictable what to expect I wonder if I will be fined myself now?

Ṣpiderman Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The reason Torts got fined is because he implied that the league gives preferential treatment to them. So he pretty much called the league corrupt. That deserves a fine IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlsson`s Flo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 $20000? Good Gawd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 This is not the first time Torts has questioned the ethics of the league, obviously the league will come down harder each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redacted Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It's the CBA. The NHLPA has a thing in there saying that you can't fine a player more than $2,500. A coach is not a player and therefore that rule doesn't apply to coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Aerosex Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 AV had worse things to say about Dave Bolland and I don't believe he got fined...shows the special treatment that the face of the NHL gets because there's really little difference between comments fired at other players, and the comments fired at Crosby.

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Torts should just jump on the ice in gear and then hit Crosby with his stick. I mean what is the league going to do? He's a player then! All he will get is $2,500 fines! I'm sick of this sort of crap, the millionaires who are playing a GAME get fined the equivalent of me being a fined a Subway sub and Torts gets fined that much for calling out a player? This is sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Anyone know what the total Torts has been fined in his career is? God it must be alot by now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thMan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It sucks that Stepan got hurt, but I don't think this is a suspension. It's clear to me that teams in the east are making a concious effort to get the refs on their aside, especially against Pittsburgh because they're a really scary team. It's ridiculous that everyone call Crosby a whiner. He is targeted and he has been the victim of numerous dirty plays in the past. He plays with integrity and has every right to whine when he is skating around with a target on his head just because he is the best player in the NHL.

Red Light Racicot Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I agree that Torts comments werent fair, since Crosby and Malkin had nothing to do with what Orpik did... But this is the stupidest fine of all time in terms of reasoning behind and quantity of cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Would he still have been fined if he hadn't been talking about Crosby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimberWolf Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Wowwww so now you can't really say anything bad about the other team at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Sounds eerly familiar. "Sedins are whiners and divers." This is the respect players get around the leauge. If good, you will be hated and be labled a whiner. It's hilarious. But these players need to fight back. Just like how Henrik Sedin fought back against Mike MIlbury last year, when he labled them louri and thelma Sedin. He fougth back and made fun of his work in Long Island. These players need to fire back and I am totally cool with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I don't really understand what he said that deserved a fine. You gotta allow a little venting after a guy gets a cheapshot. Maybe they veiwed it as a threat!? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm085 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 So Orpik gets nothing for the knee and Torts gets fined $20,000 cause he took a shot at golden boy sidney? Just when you think the league can't suck the pens dick any harder lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 If Marchand did that to Crosby or Malkin... ... They would've fought back. Cheers. TOML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
