Tortorella graphically describes Artemi Panarin’s illness
Artemi Panarin missing Tuesday’s Columbus Blue Jackets game due to illness led to some speculation that the absence was more trade-related. Columbus head coach John Tortorella is here to assure everyone that is not the case.
Tortorella shared graphic details of Panarin’s illness to clear up the questions.
“He’s SICK… he s— his pants and he’s puking his guts out,” Tortorella said pregame, via TSN’s John Lu.

Leave it to Tortorella to venture into the TMI area of the matter. He’s never been shy to voice his opinion, regardless of how inappropriate it may seem.
Panarin has 67 points in 56 games this season. He has been viewed as a trade candidate ahead of Monday’s deadline.
