head coach John Tortorella has been fined $20,000 for comments he made after his team’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Additionally, Tortorella has been assessed a conditional fine of $25,000 “which will be collected in the event of similar inappropriate behaviour through Dec. 29, 2020,”
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He was Right! allrefssuck
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He was right to do so, the league should fine the ref’s instead of John.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Valid point by JT. He did have a reason to feel upset. JT always speaks his mind.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Money well spent! Poor form NHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Yesss i love it
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Fine someone for speaking the truth.🤦🏼♂️ NHL fails again.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL I think the NHL should worry less about the fucking feelings of the refs, and think more on how they penalize the blatant and ugly hits to the head, blind side elbow, boarding call and the such. To think if he hadn't sword so much, it would've probably only been 10K!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Wow! I guess Coach does not have the freedom of speech!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The NHL should be fined!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Well what he said was true. They don't like their mistakes pointed out. Need to tone it down next time though and still get the.point across
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He gets fined $20K for saying what we all know. NHL officiating sucks!!! Hey NHL if you don't want people criticizing your officiating how about doing something about your awful officiating!!! You should be ashamed. Not a Torts fan but I fully support him on this.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Why?! He wasn’t lying. He wasn’t saying anything that wasn’t apparent. WTF NHL ? That’s ridiculous.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Worth it! LOL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Officiating is tough but could improve, officials have always appeared compelled to even out calls making their effort somewhat subjective when they should only be objective
NHL BlueJacketsNHL They listened then, not so bad
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Oh, oh, angered the gods of hockey! TSK, TSK!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Not a big fan of Torts but he was 100% right. I mean what else is he supposed to say? Cost him both the game and a goalie.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL As fans of the game we should all throw Torts $20 for saying what we’ve all been thinking!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Well there's a surprise
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Ok I hate Torts a d think he's a joke but 20 grand? For negative comments and swear words...
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Complete BS NHL, since when should anyone be fined for speaking the TRUTH!?!? He was right. Refs f*cked it all up, yet again. Why aren’t they fined or fired or suspended without pay for screwing up? accountability
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Guess you can’t tell the truth anymore eh
NHL BlueJacketsNHL At that point I don't think he gave a crap if he got fined or not. He should have gone all hay wire and spilled on how pathetic they've gotten. Inconsistent bush league!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL How can they fine him for this? Did they not rewatch what they did & still think it was okay?
NHL BlueJacketsNHL that's bull crap. He's totally right. Truth hurts eh NHL?
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Free speech isn’t free. Just because he’s an asshole doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL That’s ridiculous. He was justified. Colin Campbell.....retire already!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Hypocrite...
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Sorry Anyone watching Jets games swear there's a betting ring going around Zero stick calls at all
NHL BlueJacketsNHL NHL you should stop the fascism and sort your refs out, ffs 🙄
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He is no shrinking violet they should know he speaks his mind
NHL BlueJacketsNHL As well it seems too many times the officiating is geared toward influencing a game for the most entertainment value rather than making the right call or being consistent, i.e. - losing team gets PP with under 5 mins remaining in game
NHL BlueJacketsNHL I don’t agree with the language but I do agree with Torts point. NHL suppressing opinion again which is a little too self-righteous for my taste. Accountability for ref’s and the league is lacking.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Hey NHL Why fine Torts for speaking the truth? CBJ is not my team! Place Refs names on jerseys, make THEM accountable! Hold them a standard.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL 'Free' speech -Costs $20K to slam officiating Total joke.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Booooo
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He was bang on .....league needs to admit they screwed up and move on ....NBA admits mistakes !!!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Should have been the Refs that got the fine... I guess you can just do what you want when you wear stripes.. NO ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Open up a go fund me account to help him out!LetsGoPens
NHL BlueJacketsNHL 20 large for being right. Nice league. No wonder your brand is suffering.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL John - go ahead and write both checks now. It’ll save time in a week or 3.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The NHL refs blew the game. They fine John Tortarella for standing up for his team. Bullshit !!!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL NHL is full of themselves and these so called men go no backbones.They are so jealous of this man.He speaks his mind which allot of men in sports don not.Shame on you NHL Grow a BACKBONE
NHL BlueJacketsNHL nhl no offense - but that’s a joke (and I’m completely impartial)
NHL BlueJacketsNHL These referees are NOT volunteers. They are highly paid officials. They are not doing their job well. Other than the f*%ing language, he was 100% correct. Not only did they lose the game, their goalie was unnecessarily hurt. Who is going to hold the refs accountable?
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Free Speech has never been FREE with the NHL Let the coaches bitch. They're merely deflecting blame from their players lack of execution .
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The NHL is a joke as we all know the officiating is brutal! Give them hell Torts! Bettman please retire!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL *For telling the truth
NHL BlueJacketsNHL That's alot of money for telling the truth. 🤔
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Not a Torts fan but he isn’t wrong. I feel the fine is excessive and that the officials are not above criticism when they are not doing their job. The NHL fining him and burying their heads in the ice when it comes to the officials will not resolve the issue. teamtorts
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Start a GoFundMe for Torts lol dude is right about these garbage refs.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL “alex i’ll take going off on the refs during the postgame for $20,000 please.”
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The whole league is a joke I miss hockey big time. No hits nobody taking the guy out in front of the net,just lame.i love watching novice minor
NHL BlueJacketsNHL That’s bs shouldn’t have to apologize for being right. Most corrupt league in the world rules change game by game period by period. Way to go Gary you clown.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Why can’t a coach voice an opinion? Delivery professionalism required. Technology exists for every call to be right every time. The league can’t comprehend why change is required. Stanley Cups have been won/lost on missed calls. All calls could and should be made objectively.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL What a joke brutal
NHL BlueJacketsNHL They're hurt because what he said was true. I say fine the refs also half things that happen are because of them
NHL BlueJacketsNHL I like the fact that sport (as entertainment) includes the possibility for error to enhance the suspense in the outcome. But as players are accountable for their errors, so should the NHL.I’d appreciate it if the NHL explained their actions vs fining those asking what went wrong.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL We should start a go fund me to match his fine (not to pay him back) but to donate to his dog rescue of choice to support his message. He's right here 100% and almost echoed all the fans of the game isupporttorts
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He shouldn't have to pay 20K for a blatant miss by the official!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL I think this guy's a total c*nt, but he does make A good point. All this new technology to make sure Officiating gets it right, and they still screw up calls.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Torts must have a slush fund intended for his outbursts.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Well worth it. But watch out. The next thing they’ll go after is draft picks if the deserved criticism continues. Oh wait...
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The reffing in CHL is really horrible as well
NHL BlueJacketsNHL This should be the new NHL commissioner
NHL BlueJacketsNHL $20,000 for magnifying the incompetency of the league's officials.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Love JohnTortorella2 , this fine is total BS NHL ! Make your refs accountable!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Overreaction by NHL.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Telling the truth clearly an issue with the NHL brass.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL While I think Torts is a bully and a bit of a tool, he's not wrong that the officials screwed it up. The league needs to get it's officiating under control before something worse happens or someone gets killed.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Bull shit
NHL BlueJacketsNHL 20 grand for being truthful and honest. I guess the NHL expected him to say, “that’s the way the game goes sometimes” , “we should have been better”, “it’s unfortunate, but we need to regroup and be ready for next game.”
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The NHL is a joke.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Doesn’t pay to diss nhl.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL NHL BULLSHIT.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Will the NHL start fining refs for horrible calls?
NHL BlueJacketsNHL But he wasn't wrong.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Torts was 100% right on this one. With all the technology they have and use nowadays this should not have happened.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Why was he fined for speaking his mind? Nonsense.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Fined for speaking the truth. 'Censorship' at its best.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL 20000 dollars for speaking the truth. How can sportsnet not defend him.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL But, for once, he was right.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Hope every coach in the league chips in $ 750 bucks each. He said what they've be wanting to say for a while.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL You can get fined for speaking the truth?
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Someone should send torts The 20K,
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Torts was absolutely right ! NHL is a joke . More coaches need to speak up !!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL I don’t understand in today’s NHL with all the technology they are using how they get this so wrong? And I’m a Hawks fan lol
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The NHL is a joke of a communist organization! Telling the truth about them gets you penalized! Worst officiating in professional sports. Tortorella should sue the NHL . So much for free speech. GaryBettman01 has ruined this league. The Trump of professional sports! Joke!!!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Torts was right.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Sometimes the wrong things need to be done to get the job done and a voice that tells the truth you don’t want to get it right because of the $$$$$$$ you bring in, you must work for the government
NHL BlueJacketsNHL 20k for simply stating facts. The facts just happen too be critical to the officials, but nothing he stated wasnt true. Imagine simply stating the events & there effect and it cost $20000. Sounds like a dictatorship.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Holding Torts accountable but no one else gets reprimanded for not doing their jobs and plain and simple getting it wrong you should all be fired with my severance
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The NHL from the a Commissioner down are wrong, you have egg all over your face, you got caught the video reply got caught and no one is getting reprimanded, you should all be ashamed
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Ah fuck free speech who needs it anyways....
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The NHL should fire ANY refs who don’t put time back on the clock.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Good
NHL BlueJacketsNHL What a complete farce....he was right, again....the officiating in the poor NHL is the poorest in ANY professional sport...period
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Pretty sad when the officiating is crap and the coaches & players can't say anything about without being fined or possibly suspended. Why don't the officials grow some balls & own up to their mistakes. Sad, sad, sad.👎😜🤬
NHL BlueJacketsNHL How the league views the truth.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL What a joke. I 100% support Tortorella, accountability is not a one way street. I'm a Leaf fan and I agree with him I think this is a problem league wide and the wrongs are never righted especially when it affects the outcome of a game.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Nice place to work, where you cannot express your issues.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL BlueJacketsNHL 'Tortorella’s comments came after he believed the referees made a mistake'? Give me a break, should read after video evidence proves the referees made a mistake. Stop being a shill for the nhl. Yet somehow the public is suppose to believe media 🙄
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Lol, NHL is becoming a joke.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL nhl FIX YOUR OFFICIATING SYSTEM
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The officials need to be MUCH better. That should be the focus instead of how much a coach should be fined for the major he used to say as much.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The BlueJacketsNHL should fine him as well.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Yeah fine him when he’s spitting facts that’s right NHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL All the other teams should take up a collection and pay the fine on his behalf. Send a message
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Im surprised BlueJacketsNHL Havent fired him because ' their organization does not condon this unprofessioal behavier. The organization expects all personell to uphold the core values of the organization blablablah'
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The peoples voice being suppressed.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL That’s bs
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Would love to see more coaches in the NHL call them out. The referees are so bad it's become a joke.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Then the officials should start doing their jobs and people wouldn’t talk shit.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL If I was the owner of the Blue Jackets I would release a press statement preferably on camera stating that they have paid Tortorella's fine for him.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Yeah that’s what you get from the NHL for telling the truth
NHL BlueJacketsNHL I said it before, and I'll say it again. The worst thing the NHL ever did was introduce the two Referee system. Officiating has never been good since then. In the past the single Ref ran the show and called it the way he saw it, without waiting for the other to make the calls..
NHL BlueJacketsNHL The truth hurts The refs are brutal and should be the ones the NHL are fining. NHL trying to cover up your screwups
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Executives do not like the company being called out publicly.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Well worth the $ to Torts, no doubt. He wanted to embarrass the league. Job well done.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He wasn’t wrong tho. Needed that dub tho thanks CBJ
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Truth can be expensive sometimes.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Bullshit imo
NHL BlueJacketsNHL he got fined for hurting the refs feelings
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Fine the refs 50 thousand each for being stupid.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Unpopular opinion, I’m sure, but I rarely support open hostility & criticism of refs. I’m glad they fined him-he needs to act like a professional and model sportsmanship and integrity.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Fined for being honest.....what a joke....
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Why? He was right!!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL What a league, refs do what the league tells them to do, causing terrible calls and terrible reads of the games. Say anything against the poor officiating and you get fined even if it’s true.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Next time he should slewfoot and body slam Colin Campbell. The NHL doesn’t hand out suspensions or fines for that type of behaviour. Speak the truth and NHL fines you 20K!
NHL BlueJacketsNHL How dare he point out NHL refs’ glaring incompetence.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He’s 100% correct. The officiating in the NHL is a joke and they are wrecking the game.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Oh poor NHL the truth hurt
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Put the names back on refs sweaters, and make them available to the media after games. 0 accountability isn’t going to improve reffing. League is a joke
NHL BlueJacketsNHL They need to be called out more often. To often they determine the outcomes of games. Take a good hard look in the mirror NHL.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL I guess the nhl feels the truth hurts
NHL BlueJacketsNHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Here's the GoFundMe for the fine. It won't pay the fine, but the proceeds will go to his animal foundation.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL And yet some guys will only get 2 grand for outrageous slashes.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL 🐐....😂😎
NHL BlueJacketsNHL If you speak the truth, have one foot in the stirrup.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL 20 k well spent !
NHL BlueJacketsNHL Refs have been garbage all year.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL He wasn’t wrong. Has to work on his presentation skills.
NHL BlueJacketsNHL
NHL BlueJacketsNHL BULLSHIT
