An NHL referee cursed out New York Rangers coach John Tortorella during the third period of Thursday night's Game 4 against the Boston Bruins.
Tortorella expressed his unhappiness when he felt the officials were slow to blow the whistle as goalie Henrik Lundquist appeared to have control of the puck with just under three minutes left in the third period. However, after Tortorella appeared to drop a few F-bombs, one of the referees had heard enough and dropped one of his own. Unfortuantely, the referee's F-bomb was picked up loud and clear by NBC Sports microphones.
WARNING: NSFW language. Definitely not for the kids.
We expect this from Tortorella, but to hear a referee tossing around this kind of language is completely unexpected. We couldn't tell which referee said it, but something tells us that the NHL won't be too happy to hear it.
