Sather Blames Lack Of Offense And Puck Possession On Tortorella, Not Himself
With Henrik Lundqvist telling the New York Post's Larry Brooks that he had no involvement in the firing of John Tortorella the fire was once again stoked. If Lundqvist did not request the change, then who did? Did anyone? Glen Sather sought to clarify that when he spoke to NYDN beat writer Pat Leonard.
