Quoted Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well he shouldn't have been allowed to finish the last game so maybe the 3rd game will be to make up for that. I dunno. I don't think 3 is excessive. 2 is right but 3 isn't far off. Why he wasn't ejected from the game as per the rules was strange. Maybe the on ice officials weren't made aware?

Quoted Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I agree, Torts' behaviour was not professional but I don't think he deserves a suspension. He'll likely get a tongue lashing from the league and maybe a small fine. I understand Torts reason for being so angry, but he needs to conduct himself better than that. Unfortunately three past fines and one previous suspension likely means another one is forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off ice altercations are an automatic 1 game suspension, so it won't be just a fine. They might decide to give him more than 1 game though. Malarchuk had his crazy eyes out and was trying to run after Tortorella, but they didn't summon him for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabychStache Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hartley wouldn't aknowledge Torts on the bench as is the hockey Norm. Ultimate troll job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It looks like those snakes Bettman and Daly are going to be present at the meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Kane Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Unfortunately three past fines and one previous suspension likely means another one is forthcoming. You could be right, but that would be overkill. IMO a $5,000 fine would be sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck or Die Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So, it should have started 90 minutes ago here. How long will they take to make their decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Meeting was for 8:00 AM, it is probably over. Points to ponder as we await the fate of John Tortorella, who had an in-person hearing today in New York at 8 a.m. (Pacific) with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, deputy commissioner Bill Daly and executive director of operations Colin Campbell. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2014/01/20/actions-spoke-louder-than-all-those-words-as-torts-awaits-suspension-fate/?postpost=v2#content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLemming Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 So, it should have started 90 minutes ago here. How long will they take to make their decision? Probably a couple hours. Especially if Bettman and Daly are also there. My guess is they're going to talk about how he's going to act on the ice in the future since this is a recurring problem where he lets his rage get the best of him, as well as the fine/suspension.

His rage was completely justified. If those two turdsicles can't see that he was incensed due to other coaches and players targeting his star players unjustly, they are just as gutless as Hartley.

Hopefully they all fight for Tortorella and ask Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum why Hartley isn't being fined and why Roy wasn't summoned after his far more violent outburst.

pianoman13 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Guys he will be suspended, that much is already a given. Off ice altercations are suspensions for coaches, you just cant do that. Having said that I fully support Torts, I just hope it is a game or two rather than a handful. Just remember, it could be a good wakeup call and rallying point for the team, so I dont mind a couple game suspension at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
