Twitter is great for letting people get in touch with u + letting u know how they feel- also for showing how Canucks fans are poor spellers

that is the best you got? wow PJ

Last night was full of drama
Which causes PJ to stammer
Sometimes he is bitter
And he goes off on twitter
To complain about spelling and grammar

they are going to crucify him. He deserves a suspension for the intermission incident for sure.

NHL has no choice but to suspend John Tortorella | Hockey | CBC Sports

interesting take:

Wasn't Brian Burke there?



Why yes.


Let's make this very clear: Burke is not responsible for this. Hartley and Tortorella are adults responsible for their own actions.


But, let's look at what's going through Hartley's head on Saturday: The team is really trying, but has three wins in 16 games. The guy who hired you is gone and the guy in charge is publicly praising you, but that doesn't really mean a ton.


When he takes over, Burke comes right out and says he doesn't like the way the Flames play, wanting more toughness, for one thing. On Saturday, he ended a lengthy silence by telling The Calgary Sun's Eric Francis he can't sleep because the team is losing. And, he shows up at the game.


It's been kind of a weird dynamic with Burke so far. He hasn't been at a lot of road games, so when Hartley reads that and knows the boss is coming, his mind is working overtime.


He's done the best possible job with this group and there are only 30 of these spots available. Hartley had to wait longer than he wanted to get this opportunity, so he's going to do whatever it takes to keep it.

The cesspool is certainly living up to its name this morning. Aaron Ward just pandering to Bro Jake and Fat Pratt.

Torts is in New York and Brooksie doesn't want to get beat up at a bus stop.

Bro Jake just called Bettman a pencil necked geek and drains the cesspool

i forget who it was on CBC, but one of the talking heads suggested that the biggest sin of all of the shenanegans was Hartley hiding behind his team, both on the bench and in the hallway.

Brooksie alluded to that in his interview on the Bro Jake show - He said that Hartley had no obligation to engage Torts, but if he had gotten into a shouting match, the whole situation could have been diffused right there.

Brooksie is usually the first person to rattle Torts, what a shock.
