JOHN TORTORELLA RUMORS

I know you are but what am I?

(Courtesy New York Rangers) Say it loud, I am proud to be one of the "idiot" media covering the New York Rangers. So in true American fashion I say to John Tortorella that "I know you are but what am I?" Well, actually I don't like being called an idiot, nobody with any self-respect and pride likes to be treated the way John Tortorella treats the media...

John Tortorella speaks at length with Michael Kay

You all come here every day to get our take on the players, the coaches, and the organization at large. A lot of what we do day in and day out analysis-wise is based on our own experiences playing the game, observing it, or having been employed by it.  With that said, we don’t have access to the team or permission to speak with John Tortorella. We don’t have credentials...

Torts: I Love Our Jam, I Love Our Balls

John Tortorella talks about his Rangers team after the game..."I love our jam. I love our balls. I really like what we have here. I don’t think it will be the same. There’s always changes.

Rangers fight hard, but fall short

When it was over, a few moments after his team's season had come to an end, Rangers coach John Tortorella uttered six words that offered a glimpse into his psyche.

Video: Tortorella Optimistic Moving Forward

Head coach John Tortorella actually stuck around to give an insightful postgame press conference following last night's 5-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils at MSG, so I thought I'd share this landmark event. Plus, there's not much else to say after what went down last night and what needs to be done in Game 6.    Will have any significant updates from practice later...

John Tortorella vs. Pete Deboer Part Deux

John Tortorella and Pete Deboer had their first run-in during the regular season when Deboer sent out a starting lineup of goons to set the tone in a regular season game between the Rangers and Devils at Madison Square Garden on March 19. Tortorella was provoked to the point where he grabbed the stick from the hands of Brad Richards, stormed over to the end of the bench and hacked...

Tortorella vs. Media Feud Getting Old, Yet Still Effective

Why head coach John Tortorella's condescending attitude towards the media has come as such a shock to the hockey world in these playoffs is beyond me. Not only has the coach acted in the same manner throughout the entire 2011-12 season, but this has been his widely-known personality for his entire National Hockey League career behind the bench.  As each playoff round has progressed...

SHORTER IS BETTER

Rangers coach curt in brief press conference

New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella has become known for his post-game press conferences. He often says far more than he should and is the definition of outspoken. Honestly, the guy is gold with a microphone in his face. But after his team’s 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Tortorella was not feeling particularly talkative...

RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT

Rangers coach irritated by ringing cell phone

Following The New York Rangers 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils John Tortorella was giving a presser and a phone went off, which didn’t make J.T. too pleased. Jay Greenberg of The New York Post was the unlucky lad who had forgotten to put his phone on silent, and when it interrupted Torts, the gloves came off. Torts responded in typical and glorious fashion with profanity...
