CHB’s Top 20 Things That John Tortorella Should Accomplish in the Next 15 Days
On Monday, we found out the fate of Vancouver Canucks Head Coach John Tortorella for his attempt to enter the Calgary Flames dressing room last Saturday night. The NHL suspended Tortorella for 15 days without pay.
While some Canucks fans commended Tortorella’s actions as loyal, passionate, and justified, the NHL didn’t agree, calling Tortorella’s actions “dangerous and an embarrassment to the League.”
Assistant coach Mike Sullivan will take over the reins for the next 15 days. In the meantime, Tortorella is not permitted to have any interaction with the team prior to, during or after games..
I asked the Twitterverse what Tortorella should do during his suspension. The replies came flooding in, expanding the expected top 10 list to a top 20 list.
Thus, we proudly present to you the Top 20 Things that Tortorella Should Accomplish in the Next 15 Days:
