Lifetime ban because he's the Canucks coach.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Fine but no suspension. People were smart enough not to take a screaming match physical. That was surreal though seeing the Canucks head coach a few seconds from kicking the entire Flames roster's ass in the hallway.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

10 games

 

[BoHorvatFan]

hefty fine and 3-5 games.

 

[Seattle Totems]

Steve Ott and Flyers coach Laviolette had it out behind the bench and nothing happened. Why should the NHL suspend Torts for yelling at Hartley?

 

[timw33]

Maybe a fine. This isn't the first time this has happened.

So probably a precident setting suspension because we're the Canucks.

 

[Apple Juice]

I'm thinking a couple games but hoping for less than 5... But being an extreme unrealist when it comes to the NHL and the Canucks, he'd get 10 because he's Tortorella and coaches the Canucks... But anything less than 5 or just a couple would be fair

 

[David71]

gonna get fined

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

3 on 5 for the next 7 games.

But NHL coach "traveling" as far as Torts went to get verbally and/or potentially physically involved with opposing team won't be accepted.

Yep
10 games and a $10,000 fine

 

[canuck4life16]

torts will get suspensed.....Colin Campbell in charge of this problem

 

[hankdank]

Come ooooon guys. I don;t mind what Torts did, as a Canucks fan- but he obviously deserves to get suspended.

He went over to the Flames hallway, and the altercation DID get physical, it was just mostly out of frame, and no punches were thrown. Pushing and shoving.

Obvious suspension. Probably a few games.

 

[stuffradio]

A month.

 

[Carl Carlson]

Shanny will spin the wheel on this one for sure. I expect a significant fine and possibly up to 5 games but as a fan of the team I'm absolutely fine with what he did.

 

[DadBod]

He'll be suspended...but I believe it's worth it. He's changing our image and the way we handle ourselfs. He obviously had enough and chose to be a leader and fight back. Sometimes these things work wonders, and make an impact for sure.

Is this really an image we want? To be goons? (even though we already were seen that way)

I believe CBC said Colin Campbell will be responsible......

 

[Seattle Totems]

What precedence is there for a suspension? This is hardly the first time a coach has gone after someone on the opposing team in the hallway. Surely the league has to take the fact that Hartley told his players to start a line brawl at the start of the game into consideration as well.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

PJ Stock and the CBC are sure campaigning hard for one.

 

[SighReally]

Thinking 10k fine and 3 games

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I hope the Canucks office pays for whatever loss Torts incurs. He did what was necessary after the BS from the Flames.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

i'll say a 10-15
how long did mcphee get? there is precedence for this but it happened a long time ago

I think that's against the rules?
