John Tortorella did not take questions from the media. Is livid over the refs not adding the 1.1 seconds that ran off after Chicago was called for its too many men penalty in OT. Werenski’s goal would have counted if the time had been added.

Torts called it “ridiculous” among other things, punctuating his thoughts by slamming his hand against the podium multiple times.

Torts: "Instead of resetting the clock, we have them tell our captain, 'We're not going to do it.' Toronto doesn't step in. The refs don't do their freaking job, and now we lose the game and we lose our goalie."

Torts, continued: "All this goddamn technology and getting things right, the stubbornness tonight by the officials and by the league and Toronto, however it is supposed to goddamn work, screws us. It's ridiculous."

Korpisalo had to leave the game with an injury, again, game highlights are below.

added 8:30pm, Tortorella post-game conference is below.
