VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Canucks coach John Tortorella is going to face some NHL-style justice.
He has been summoned to the league’s head office in New York where he’ll have to face questions about his behaviour during Saturday night’s game against the Calgary Flames.
News1130 Sports Anchor Rick Dhaliwal says Tortorella could be suspended for going into the tunnel after the first intermission. He was trying to get to Calgary head coach Bob Hartley.
“Expect a suspension. Back in 99 Shane Corson was suspended five games for trying to get after Ed Jovanovski in the Canucks dressing room at Rogers Arena. Don’t be surprised if Tortorella gets something of the same.”
Dhaliwal says the problem was Tortorella tried to get to Hartley during the first intermission.
“He just went nuts because the Flames started the game with their goons. You don’t start a game most times with your tough guys, all five of them out there at the same time. So he sees their tough guys, puts out his tough guys and he just thought what Bob Hartley did was not right.”
If you missed it, all ten skaters dropped the gloves and started throwing ’em.
