Z being benched was well deserved. Tortorella now needs to take the gloves off and kick some arse. We will not make the playoffs worrying about the fragile egos of this overpaid and underachieving squad. Losing a 4-1 lead to a non playoff team is embarrassing. Should have started Hank. Valiquette is done. Don’t blame this loss on the coach boys. Z being benched was well deserved. Tortorella now needs to take the gloves off and kick some arse.

Darth Sather builds this team so they can at least have one round of playoff hockey and Dolan is satisfied.

The benching of Z is something you KNEW was going to happen. Listen, don't get me wrong, I wanted Torts too. But these are things that are bound to happen under his watch. I do agree he should punish others as well though. You guys wanted Torts and you have him. The benching of Z is something you KNEW was going to happen.

Very good question. It's a formality though and all GMs do it to all RFAs who promptly reject it but their rights stay with the team though. Agravaine-Don’t know which ten percent.

Hate to say it, but even Renney wouldn't have been so stubborn and put Zherdev in at the end and SO. And Torts has watched that Drury special too many times, you can tell.

Im too tired to go thru the numbers, but who stays and who goes next yr?..it appears as if Antro is Tort's Russian of choice and he will command a similar number to Z... ..I really respect mara for his effort and desire to stay a Ranger, but I dont know if he is a "torts guy".. I hope he dosent go, but that's the position that "Spaz" has put the team in...at least redden has improved to "below average" from "way below average"... ..insanity later btw, we were facing the ATL backup for most of the game, as well (and the shootout)...
