WOW!! The NHL REALLY fucked up the end of the game between the Blue Jackets and the Blackhawks!! Not only did the NHL totally screw the Columbus Blue Jackets, but they basically caused the Columbus Blue Jackets goalie to be injured, and then fined the coach $20K for daring to say something about the NHL’s horrible handling of the situation.
Watch the video and it is easy to see that the clock was wrong – so why the fuck didn’t the refereed and the NHL fix it??
That is complete crap, and the NHL knows it!!!
Coach Tortorella had every fucking reason to be pissed off, and actually I thought that the coach was even a bit more reserved in his criticism of the NHL referees than I would have been – that’s for sure.
I’m sure that the NHL would rather not be called out on their fuck-ups, but all they can really do is fine people for speaking out.
The NHL should levy a fine against itself for the horrible handling of the fucked-up situation that the clock and referees caused at the end of the game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Chicago Blackhawks.
Columbus Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella was fined $20,000 by the NHL for his comments regarding the officiating in his team’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.
The league also put Tortorella on notice that he was being assessed a conditional $25,000 fine. If he has another act of “similar inappropriate behavior” through Dec. 29, 2020, the NHL will collect the money.
Tortorella lambasted the officials after the game, contending an additional 1.1 seconds should have been put back on the clock nearing the end of the overtime period. It wasn’t, and a Zach Werenski goal that would have been the game winner was waved off because time had expired.
Starting goalie Joonas Korpisalo was injured in the shootout.
“Refs don’t do their freaking job and now we lose a game, and we lose our goalie,” Tortorella said in his brief postgame news conference Sunday. “So the chain of events, if it was done right, we don’t lose our goalie, we win the hockey game.”
Korpisalo, who was selected to the All-Star team, will be out four to six weeks after undergoing knee surgery this week.
