Caps protect fans from Torts modifying glass at arena

 Associated Press, Apr. 28, 2009:

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Capitals have plugged the gaps in the glass, hoping to prevent a repeat of the nasty attack on their fans by New York Rangers coach John Tortorella.

Before Tuesday night's Game 7, the Capitals filled the 1-inch spaces between the panes of glass behind the visitors' bench with seven I-shaped, Plexiglas stanchions. The Capitals said they were also considering adding extra security personnel.

The last time the teams met in Washington, Tortorella squirted water at fans and tossed a water bottle into the crowd during the third period of the Capitals' 4-0 Game 5 victory. The NHL suspended him for Game 6.
