New York Rangers coach John Tortorella wasn't pleased when he saw defenceman Ryan McDonagh leave the game against the Montreal Canadiens after hitting the glass face first from a hit by Max Pacioretty in the second period.
He believes it was in retaliation for McDonagh drilling Pacioretty from behind into the boards during the first period.
Regardless of the motivation, McDonagh didn't return to the game, and reports suggest he may have sustained a possible concussion.
