Oh right because Torterella is the only coach in the NHL that tells his team not to take penalties. Whereas I'm Oates was on the Caps bench saying "hook, hold do whatever you want". What a ridiculous post.
You could clearly see the Rangers getting away with a lot of stuff for example the Callahan elbow to Oleksy's head away from the puck. That sounds exactly like something the "most disciplined team in the league" would do right?
Also Backstrom seems to be getting a free ride for this, did he even have a shot in this series? Ovechkin was miles ahead of him in this series.
What a lazy defensive player Ovechkin is. Look at how he floats around centre ice in this video
