Torts feely calling time outs definitely worries me when we need it for the inevitable "distinct kicking motion" call we're going to get.

Let's say in the 3rd period Matt Calvert scores the tying goal off of his skate, as he's being pushed into the net by Carlson and he's clearly trying to catch and edge and stop himself. The ref calls no goal on the ice.lol, I have no idea what this means.

If Tortorella had a time out, he could call a coach's challenge and have the call reversed on the ice.
However, he's used that time out... no ability to reverse the call, and the legend of "Distinct Kicking Motion" continues unabated.
Oh I agree too, but never forget to factor in #JACKETSLUCK or #BurnToronto on those decisions.I think the time out was a smart call. The guys were obviously gassed and not allowed to change due to icing. Don't want to give up a second goal in the final 2 minutes.
