They're probably just putting it at the back of the episode because they want the eastern conference teams to be completely covered first.

He's allowed to be pissed. But he handled it like a 3-year old. He always handles things like a 3-year old. That's the difference between a good coach that gets respect and one who becomes a joke.
Besides, it was his own team's childish antics in the past week that probably drove the Flames to start their goons.
Just heard Bob McKenzie mention on SportsCentre that Tortorella is facing a suspension of up to a month. Hartley may get fined as well for player selection, though he did not break any rules.
Oh come on. What he did was childish and completely unacceptable. even he said he was embarrassed for what he did.

so... a 4th line can't start the game now? wtf lol
Why even have a 4th line or tough guys in the game then?
so start your first line and go score
Tortorella said he didn't want to put the Sedins out there and get them injured or wrapped up in fights, since that's clearly what Calgary was going for. I don't know that I completely agree that it was justified, and I think he sort of took their bait, but I do at least see why he'd be irritated by the move.
Like I said before, embarrassing conduct by both teams and the coaches should be held accountable.
So, Calgary started a bunch of goons in order to possibly injured as many Vancouver players as possible, Torts gets pissed for a very legit reason and gets suspended? Yeah. Good job, NHL.
I hate Vancouver as much as anybody but Tortorella had every reason in the world to get mad. That was a cheap move by the Flames.
It's not so much that he was pissed off than it is how he handled things in a completely inappropriate manner by going to the opposing teams locker room and shouting at them.
And I think after the way the Canucks have been playing lately, gooning it up a bit more than usual, the Flames were justified starting their 4th line.
Tortorella (and i'm sure most sane people familiar with them) in no way believed the Sedins were going to get in fights or injured facing off against Calgary's fourth line. utter ********. The worse that could happen would be for them to get grabbed and turtle, sending out the offenders with lone game misconducts and shortening Calgary's bench the entire game without shortening Vancouvers. he really wanted the goonery that ensued.
