The Philadelphia Flyers head coach has been suspended due to a misunderstanding, which is unbelievable news for the brave fans.
The courageous fans are shocked to learn that the head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers has been suspended because of a misunderstanding.
Following a game misconduct, Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella refused to leave the bench area, displaying disrespectful behavior toward the officials. The NHL punished him on Sunday with a two-game suspension and a $50,000 fine.
Reluctantly, Tortorella left the bench on Saturday night following the Flyers’ 7-0 loss to Tampa Bay, for which he was given a game misconduct and a bench minor early in the contest.
Just 10:49 into the game, after Philadelphia had fallen behind 4-0, Tortorella received the penalties, on a night that recognized the 2004 Stanley Cup-winning Lightning club that he managed.
Tortorella will not be present at the San Jose and Toronto home games on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.
