The NHL has handed down a two-game suspension to John Tortorella following his refusal to leave the bench after being ejected during last night's game.
In a recent update,Elliotte Friedman broke the news of Tortorella's suspension, emphasizing the significance of the situation.
«Hearing John Tortorella has been suspended two games.»
Friedman also shared his perspective on the need for transparency in such incidents, suggesting,
«One thing I'd like to say: I really believe this is a case where we should hear from the officials. I don't think it benefits anyone — including the referees in this case — that we can't hear what happened here.»
With Tortorella's suspension, the Flyers will find themselves without their head coach for the upcoming two games, adding an additional challenge for the team as they navigate through their season.
