BREAKING: John Tortorella Ejected After Blowing Up On Referees Less Than 10 Minutes Into Game

John Tortorella can be a very passionate guy at times. This is well documented. Tonight that passion got himself into some trouble.

Tortorella Ejected After Expletive Filled Tirade Against Officials

The Flyers coach found himself getting booted by the referees less than ten minutes into the contest against the Lightning tonight. He was clearly extremely frustrated with the officials after his team went down 4-0 early.




The Flyers received an extra minor penalty for abuse of officials thanks to the actions of their coach.



At first he refused to leave as he continued to yell at the referees from the bench until they simply started ignoring him. Finally though, he did walk down the tunnel to the team's locker room.



The Flyers still trail the Lightning 4-0 as the game is in the first intermission.
