Too early for Torts to dissect Rangers

Found October 25, 2011 on NY Daily News:
PLAYERS: John Tortorella
TEAMS: New York Rangers
Rangers-coach-tortorella
John Tortorella refuses to "dissect" the issues plaguing his club, but after Monday's 2-1 win in Winnipeg, the Rangers coach provided an accurate summary of his team's 3-2-2 start on the road. "We score a couple, we're ugly as hell, and our goaltending has certainly given us an opportunity right on through here," Tortorella said. "So we're looking forward to going home."

Is John Tortorella The Right Man For The Rangers Job?

Via Ranger Nation  |  October 27, 2011
I like Rangers head coach John Tortorella, I admit it. It’s probably one of the least “cool” things that a Rangers fan can admit to right now, but I like him.

Rangers coach John Tortorella conducted one of the best press conferences we’ve seen recently. And by press conference, we mean brief monologue.

The Reasons For Line Tinkering

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  October 26, 2011
The line combos, the line combos…it’s always the same complaint isn’t it? Since the advent of the internet I feel like I read the same complaints about the Rangers year in and year out. There’s always a stretch of games at some point during the season where either the fans, the bloggers, or the beat writers don’t like what they are seeing and the result is people crying...

It Is Called Accountability

Via The Prospect Park  |  October 25, 2011
The other night after the New York Rangers lost to the Edmonton Oilers 2-0; John Tortorella took the easy way out rather than answer questions from the media. "We Stunk and I am not going to answer any questions" he said and walked away before anyone could ask him a single question. Those who defended Tortorella's behavior did not understand that part of being...

Live at the Garden for opening night

Via Rangers Report  |  October 27, 2011
Unfortunately, no John Tortorella press conference tonight … he did his talking … or not-talking … at the morning skate, as is his option. Hopefully that won’t become a habit, because I’m not getting my aasen down here for morning skates very often, if ever. Will have a Go Time later. The Rangers are going to do this Blue Carpet thing for MSG Network. Not sure what...

The New York Rangers finally get to hit home ice tonight after playing their first seven games on the road.  The team battled through both poor play and injuries on defense to come home with a successful 3-2-2 record.  Much of the discussion this week is about how nice it is for the Rangers to be with the opportunity to play in a partially renovated Madison Square Garden...

The Blueshirt faithful entered the newly transformed Madison Square Garden with heads held high this evening, proud of the  beautiful facility they were walking into for their beloved team's home opener.

Rangers Must Regain Identity

Via The Rangers Tribune  |  October 24, 2011
The list can go on and on when talking about what's went wrong with the New York Rangers so far this season, but when you look at everything as a collective whole, there's one aspect of their game that is missing that has stood out to me the most; their identity. This year's Rangers have been far from the Black and Blueshirts squad we saw exceed expectations in 2010-11...

Rangers' Hank skates past injury concern

Via NY Daily News  |  October 24, 2011
Both Henrik Lundqvist and John Tortorella said there were no concerns about the goaltender's health. But as for the rest of the team, the Rangers need to work on their "overall game, top to bottom" after they "sucked from head to toe" in Saturday night's 2-0 loss to the Oilers. That's what Tortorella said after the Blueshirts practiced at the scene...
