[Jaimito]

Blowing a 4-2 lead in the third.  A lot of big swings.

 

TB looking good.

Tortorella's post-game lasted less than a minute.

I feel for Torts. They could have taken Tampa. I don't blame him for not wanting to describe his "bubble experience".

I think he might deserve some credit there.  For knowing himself.  First question was a subtle troll job imo - the second may have been respectful, but I think it's better for Torts to make a short, relatively polite comment -  "be safe" - and be done with it as opposed to letting himself get engaged in what probably does not end so well.

 

He's not a good loser - that's his nature - I'm inclined to give him some kudos there for disengaging = knowing what he's likely to start saying if he does not.

I went to a Victoria Royals playoff game that was 1:09 longer than this game. Didn't leave early, stayed through the whole thing.

I was at that game to the end, too.  Have a shot of the scoreboard at the end, and the Royals rushing the ice.

 

I also saw a whole lot of Carter Hart in those times.....was clearly a special player, but what he's doing now is unreal.

Per Dreger on twitter the "League was not happy with his dismissive approach with media throughout the Q round and round one".
