What more can I say about John Tortorella that I haven’t already said? I’ve covered his forechecking system, how players earn icetime within his team concept, and I gave you all insights into his line tinkering strategy when many wanted to brand him a fool.
At this point I don’t want to beat a dead horse. I will say this; back in late October/early November we put up poll...

I respect John Tortorella. Been a fan of his before he joined our team, and an even bigger fan of his now that he is the coach of our team. But I respectfully disagree with not only the way he coached this game, but in his post game comments. He thought the third line was his best line, yet they were on for all 3 goals against. He said AA is missing “everything” from his...

… I am glad he praised the third and fourth lines as they were huge this game, especially John Mitchell. Mitchell has heard a lot of hate towards him from a decent size portion of the fan base who believe Avery would be a better fit on the third line then him. Mitchell played HUGE [...]

1. New York Rangers (26-9-4) Fans are in love with Olivia Munn because she is bringing the team plenty of luck as the team is 9-1 in their last 10 games. The team seems focused and as a result Coach John Tortorella will be in Ottawa for the all-star game.
2. Vancouver Canucks (26-14-3) The Cory Schneider era is off to a good start and he certainly gives the team great leadership...

Game 40.
Hard to believe just about half a season has gone by.
Ya boys return from their little hiatus on a four-game winning streak, with wins in nine of the last 10 and still in first place in the Patrick Division, in the Eastern Conference and in the whole National freakin’ Hockey League.
Same lineup. That means Erik Christensen, Wojtek Wolski and Jeff Woywitka are all...
