Tortorella: No complaints about Blue Jackets' play despite pair of losses

Charles LeClaire / USA Today Sports

Two losses, zero complaints about his team's play.

That's the message Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella espoused after falling into an 0-2 series hole with another loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday.

"I don’t have one bitch about the team. Not one. I’m anxious to get our suits on again and get at it in our building," he said after Game 2, per Aaron Portzline of the Post-Dispatch.

Perhaps it's just a matter of their luck turning around, added captain Nick Foligno.

While the Blue Jackets have been outscored 7-2 over the opening two games, they carry the edge in shots, having fired 72 on Marc-Andre Fleury as compared to 61 faced by Sergei Bobrovsky.

Game 3 is set for Sunday in Columbus.
