I’ve fallen in love with “Rangers in 60”.

I get to see them lose in high-def in less than half the time, then I can go back to life.

Great game, Hank.

Tony, it’s because a lot of the reporters are inexperienced and know that they will be shouted down if they ask a bad question, and the veteran guys are just sick of him snapping when he doesn’t like a question. Plus he won’t answer it anyway.

I am the furthest thing from a blame the coach first kind of guy but it is pretty obvious that this team’s number one problem is Tortorella. He had a great deal of say as to what players would be on this team this year, especially as far as secondary scoring. Lisin, Higgins and Kotalik were all brought in here to score 50 goals at the very minimum. Its debatable if they will get up to half of that at this point. This doesn’t mention lesser moves like Brashear and Boyle. I will give him and Sather credit for getting Prospal and Gaborik (wait till he gets hurt), those have been great pick-ups so far. This safe-is-death, uptempo, puck possession style does not suit this team. They are way too small and woefully untalented to play the game this way. It stretches out their mostly young defense to the point where they are too often caught out of position. Don’t take that as an excuse for Rozsival!
What this eventually does, is leave the backbone of this team extra vulnerable. Yes, Lundqvist is having a sub-par year but he and the rangers would be much better off playing a more conservative style. If you think that would stifle Gaborik look at the Jagr year post lockout. Not only does Tortorella install the wrong style for the wrong group of guys, he is classless. Lets face that incident in Washington was a disgrace last year. It might be funny when you curse during interviews and when youre curt with reporters, but when you throw a water bottle at opposing fans youre just a clown. I know this guy is not going to go anytime soon, but he is the main reason this ship is sinking this season. I saw a preview article about the Ranger in THN this year that said they are a rebuilding team that does not even know. They did not mean that in a good way. Thus far they are right.
