John Tortorella recently received a two-game suspension for his refusal to leave the bench after being ejected from a game. This incident occurred during a match between the Flyers and the Lightning, where the Flyers fell behind 4-0 early on. Despite being ejected for comments directed at officials, Tortorella chose to remain on the bench, sparking attention on social media where some applauded his defiance against NHL officials.
However, some have questioned whether the officials handled the situation appropriately, suggesting that the rookie official may have struggled with the emotional intensity of the game, while the veteran official may have felt pressured to assert control, potentially leading to an overreaction.
