Golden Knights’ John Tortorella declines media, handshakes after Round 2 win
If John Tortorella was happy together with his (*2*)’second-round victory towards the Anaheim Ducks, he positive wasn’t telling reporters about it.
The head coach declined to talk with the media after the Golden Knights punched their ticket to the Western Conference Final on Thursday evening, per reporters in Anaheim.
The group didn’t open the dressing room after the win, with simply three gamers talking with media — Brett Howden and Mitch Marner on the podium, and one who was dropped at a aspect room.
Additionally, Tortorella didn’t line up for handshakes after the clinching victory.
Neither the Golden Knights nor Tortorella offered an official rationalization as to why they ducked reporters.
However, in line with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Golden Knights had been pissed off by Brayden McNabb’s suspension, resulting in Thursday’s stunt.
As they approached the rostrum, a grinning Howden and Marner stated the group bus was going to go away in 10 minutes.
Jack Eichel, who didn’t register a degree within the 5-1 win, spoke with TNT’s Chris Mason on the ice shortly after the sport ended.
