Rangers coach calls end of Winter Classic 'disgusting'

6:58 PM, January 3, 2012 ι NYPOST.COM

Rangers coach John Tortorella harshly questioned the officiating at the end of the 3-2 Winter Classic win over the Flyers on Monday.

The Flyers were awarded a penalty shot with less than 20 second to play, but Danny Briere was stopped by Henrik Lundqvist and the game ended shortly afterward.

”They called a penalty shot which I still don’t understand,” Tortorella said. “I’m not sure if NBC got together with the refs to turn this into an overtime game. I thought the game was reffed horribly. I just thought tonight, in that third period, it was disgusting ... I’m not sure if they have meetings in there or what.”
