Tortorella’s Failed Challenge Looms Large In Final Game 2

John Tortorella’s coach’s challenge did not land, and in the Final that kind of miss can swing the whole conversation around a game. Coaches spend years building a feel for when to pounce, but the margin in June is brutal and the wrong challenge can become the story by itself. Game 2 already had the tension baked in, so a call that goes against you tends to feel twice as expensive under the brightest lights.
