Dolan speaks post-game!

Found January 17, 2012 on Rangers Report:
PLAYERS: Dan Girardi,  John Tortorella
TEAMS: New York Rangers

Some weird happenings after the game … First, because somebody asked, Dan Girardi got the hat. Then Jim Dolan—who hadn’t spoken to the hockey writers in probably five or six years—walked into the press conference with John Tortorella, and talked about the direction of the team, and when he started talking about the Stanley Cup, Tortorella stopped him … and after Dolan left, Tortorella said the Stanley Cup talk is “bull-carcillo” (only he didn’t say carcillo). Pretty funny. Really funny, actually. Some of it was “R” rated. FYI, the JR and Barry mentioned in the presser are John Rosasco, the team’s media relations/player recruitment VP, and Barry Watkins, who’s in charge of PR for Madison Square Garden. Here’s the Dolan/Tortorella exchange. Dolan leaves the room after answering one question.

John Tortorella couldn't have been happier with what he saw from his team in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators at Madison Square Garden. And although the coach wouldn't agree to admit that the New York Rangers are "close" to a Stanley Cup, he still has a lot of pride in his club for their ability to bounce-back from failure.

Nashville is a VERY good team so to get a 3-0 shutout victory shows the NHL [...]

To Tell Tort’s Truth

Never let it be said that John Tortorella sugar-coats anything. The New York Rangers’ coach has his way of doings things and the rest of us can damn well love it or lump it. Gotta love someone with the courage of his convictions in a world loaded with political correctness. And Tortorella put his convictions right out there for all to see Tuesday night after the Rangers blanked...

John Tortorella pre-game

Via Rangers Report  |  January 19, 2012
The pre-game presser started off slowly, as many do, but it picked up … John Tortorella ended up talking about Brandon Prust (he’s had to ask him not to fight some players because Prust is too good a player), and about the power play. You might hear at one point early (around :40) a couple of thuds. That’s Tortorella banging his forehead on the microphone out...
