So New York Ranger coach John Tortorella didn't want to talk about the Carkner incident, the refs or really much of anything judging by the entire 2:20 that his postgame press conference lasted. Given the way the NHL has reacted to coaches being critical of the way games have been called, it is not very hard to understand the way the coaches and their wallets are feeling.

Given the way that they played Game 1, the New York Rangers have every reason to come into tonight’s Game 2 with the Ottawa Senators in a very cocky manner.
