Watch A Hockey Coach Throw A Tantrum Over A Call And Spike The Game Puck

Sports brings out the best in mankind. It also brings out the man-child. Exhibit A: Rangers head coach John Tortorella reacting to a delay of game call by freaking out and spiking the puck, which had flown over the stands and into the Rangers bench.

The call on the ice was a delay of game, after a Rangers player flipped the puck over the boards and out of play. Tortorella either didn’t see the play or just plain didn’t like the call, and let the officials know in the only way he knew how: by screaming, cursing, and spiking the puck Rob Gronkowski-style.

This isn’t the first time Tortorella has shown off his impressive ~~vocabulary~~ immaturity. He was suspended by the NHL in 2009 for trying to spear a heckler with a hockey stick.
