The NHL has imposed a series of fines and suspensions following recent events. Rod Brind’Amour was fined another $25k, while penalties for misconduct on the ice and towards officials have sparked discussions among fans and commentators. A cross-check to the face resulted in a $5k fine, whereas verbal abuse towards a referee attracted a $50k fine. John Tortorella, known as 'Torts', faced significant penalties, including a two-game suspension and a $50k fine for his actions, and was fined $45k more than Trouba for similar misconduct. This marks the first time Tortorella has been suspended for abusing an official, although it is not his first suspension in the league; he has been suspended three times as a head coach and once as an assistant for various incidents, including the infamous Canucks-Flames altercation and a water bottle incident with the New York Rangers.
Fun Fact: This is the third time John Tortorella has been suspended as head coach, and one other time as assistant. Oof, water bottle incident with #NYR! Good work on list of #NHL coaches who've been suspended here: ⤵️ https://t.co/96DD9YKJuB
