Over the years, John Tortorella has done a fine job of saying stupid stuff, and that was the case Monday morning.
Two days after guaranteeing a Game 6 win, the Columbus Blue Jackets head coach said he thought his team had “dented” Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask in Game 5.
In response, Rask went out Monday night and turned away 39 shots in a 3-0 win, giving the B’s the second-round series win.
After the game, Rask was asked his thoughts on Tortorella’s comments, and the veteran netminder brushed them off a bit.
Rask on Tortorella's "denting" comments:
"Entertainment industry, I guess. That's what fans and media want. When I'm playing, I don't read it. When I'm a spectator, I like to read it, because it's entertaining."

Indeed, it was entertaining, although we’re not too sure how entertained Torts was Monday night.
