Don't turn back now. That's the message Lightning coach John Tortorella is sending to everyone in and around the NHL, including fans and media. Over the weekend, Tortorella saw glimpses that the NHL might be easing off its crackdown of obstruction calls and hopes the NHL will stick with its new plan. "I already know in this league, people are complaining about it," Tortorella said. "And we can't complain about it. We have to allow this to happen. And I just hope we have some strong people to see this through." The only concern Tortorella has about the actual enforcement part of the rules is that the physical part of the game might go out with the cheating. "You can't take the physical part out," Tortorella said. "Everybody wants that physical part and that's something we got to find here because we can't lose that. You still have to call the cheap stuff, though."
