BOSTON -- Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella was frustrated with a couple of calls during a 4-3 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday.
"Let me start: One thing I teach my team to do is not dive," he said in opening his postgame news conference. "Maybe I should start teaching them that. The way this has gone here ... maybe I should teach them to dive."
The Flyers were called for two tripping penalties -- neither of them led to goals -- in the third period. They also were whistled for a tripping penalty that led to a goal in the second.
Boston scored twice in the third period of its fourth consecutive win. Philadelphia blew a third-period lead for the second straight game.
"I'm not going to go too far into it," Tortorella said. "That's one of the things we talk about as a team: 'We've got to play an honest game. There's no cheating, there's no embarrassing referees. You don't embarrass the referees."'
