Torts Suspended For 15 Days; Bob Hartley Fined $25,000

So does this mean Sully is in the interim coach?

I think so.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I think so.

Wooffffff.

Could be wrong on the calc ... Not sure if salary is based on a 195 day season

If its based on a calendar year its just over 80000 in lost salary

and to clarify ... first calc based on 195 day season was wrong ... second calulation was correct

Im thinking Frankie Aquilini cuts that cheque/check

how do you know on the bold ... and for all we know Torts was an angel for the rest of the game after the incident

Do you really think that all on-ice and off-ice officials were not made aware that a coach attempted to enter their opponents' locker room?

The War room was watching the game broadcast too. There's pretty much zero chance they didn't know immediately.


And maybe he was trying to be an Angel. But it's Torts. The ref could have just skated by and said "Don't look at me that way again or you're getting tossed"

"What the fuck?"

"That's it, you're outta here!"

in a crappy bar somewhere in Manhattan...Larry Brooks is laughing like a mad man!

Brooksie actually defended Torts this time around.

so the refs kick someone out based on video evidence seen by others???

Just anudder day for Brooksie

Could, but I was shocked to see him defending him.

I would love that, can't stand him.

Not directly. If the refs really thought, in the game, that Torts was trying to crate havoc, they could have found a reason to eject him. Not directly because of the locker room thing. But they could find a way to make him sit if they wanted to. That's all I'm saying.

And if there had been another big fight, I'd bet they would've booted both coaches.

Agreed.

Lou's greatest accomplishment as a GM (next to the 3 cups) was firing Brooksie back in the day, lol

Haha glad you put the Cups just ahead of it

No, Torts didn't change the guys on the ice for the opening draw, although Bieksa moved into the face-off circle to take his first NHL face-off of his career (he won it as well, straight back).

/And my question earlier was a little bit facetious, I knew Hartley would be getting something as the optics of what happened Saturday night were not good. However, I also believe that if Torts throws the Sedins and Burrows out there for the opening face-off, I don't think we see any fisticuffs (we probably would have seen some later, sure, but McGrattan and Westgarth wouldn't have jumped the Sedins).

I'm less certain of this. Do you think that McGrattan and Westgarth have the kind of job security that they feel that they have the freedom to disobey their coach? I mean, didn't we already see Carlyle put a star at risk unsuccessfully attempting this tactic?

Brian Burke loves those guys, if the coach tried to bench them for not obeying then Brian Burke would probably step in

caman now dragon ... its not like Mcgrattan has ever gone after a star player like Sedin before ... whats that you say? ... oh ???


march 2013:

Re-acquired last week to address the glaring softness of the Calgary Flames, McGrattan made his presence felt early by following up a fluky goal from Mike Cammalleri with a shift that featured more hits than a typical Flames period. One of his three principle victims included Henrik Sedin, which he knew would snare the attention of the 6-foot-5 Sestito, who is also only too anxious to prove his mettle to his new teammates after he was claimed on waivers by the Canucks recently.
