Breaking news - Tortorella apologizes to Canada.
Sorry, Canada.
Vancouver Canucks coach John Tortorella has apologized for favouring Sweden over Canada in the men's Olympic gold-medal hockey game.
"If I have insulted anybody, that certainly wasn't my intention and I think all of you know that," he said after practice Tuesday. "But it was a careless use of words and where I should be more cognizant. I want to clear that up."

Sounds like GMMG had a talk with him and explained what hockey means to Canada.
Since Tortorella is an American he can be forgiven his total ignorance about the esteem in which Canadians hold the game of hockey.
