Tortorella Suspended for Game 6

Washington Capitals Hockey

It was announced tonight that John Tortorella, coach of the New York Rangers was suspended for game 6 of the playoffs for squirting water on a fan, and then throwing a water bottle that hit another fan. The Rangers in command of the series seem to be self destructing and doing their damnest to give the series back to the Capitals. First Sean Avery acts the fool by taking stupid penalties in game 4 that if not for the play of goaltender Henrik Lundqvist would have cost them the game, then the coach loses his cool and causes more disruption on a team that was seemingly headed for a quick series win over the Capitals. While it's hard to say what type of effect it will have on the Rangers players, it can't help the Rangers cause, and if the Capitals can do the unlikely by winning the last three games of the series, the Rangers will look back and have no one to blame but themselves.
