Fun fact, most coaches only care about their own team winning and Torts couldn't give 2 dog poops about the Red Wings, Penguins and Capitals playoff hopes. The only thing on his mind was trying to win his game in regulation. Should he be distracted, constantly watching the out of town scoreboard for updates instead of coaching his own team? At the end of the day the Red Wings, Caps and Pens all played themselves into this situation. Take the L and move on.
This is my main takeaway also. PHI needed regulation win regardless of what was happening around, or they are out. Torts would gain absolutely nothing by closely following DET game scoreline, as it was reg-win or out anyway. Add this to fact that the gap between DET goal and Torts pulling the goalie was less than a minute, and this entire controversy brewed by some that Torts screwed some teams over on purpose... Is ridiculous, to say the least.
