Here’s the audio from John Tortorella’s press conference, and a group interview with Dan Girardi (pretty funny) about being named to the all-star team. Tortorella also said that Brandon Dubinsky (shoulder) will not play, and that Wojtek Wolski will go into the lineup in his place.

Guys, you’re right, my so-called “routine” is getting old.
The truth is I love the NYRangers … they are #1 in the Atlantic, #1 in the East, and #1 Overall. They are so good, they can win without another sniper and with a PP that always takes the night off … otherwise we’d blow away teams too easily.
Hank is the greatest goalie this league has ever seen and Gaborik – if he didn’t drink a six-pack before each match – would score a hat trick every other game.
Rangers win 6-0 tonight.
PROFESSIONAL-HOUR, here we come!
Miami. Why The Face!? You’re jinxing us brother.
Miami, that’s a bush-league post
That six-pack line is killing me….good one.
What have you become, ilb?
I mean, at SOME POINT you just have to defer to OBSCURE STATISTICAL RANTS or THINLY DISGUISED XENOPHOBIA, unless, of course, you are grooming a future “CCCP” in which case it is completely logical and unassailable.
Repost – Doodied
Dubi was crunched into side boards leaving zone last game. Was hit pretty hard and went down to his knees, which I thought was part of his strategy, as he got slammed into boards in front of Ranger bench – Right Shoulder, I think, if I fading memory is working.
This is why you have depth. It does open the door for some PP for Prince Carl – but my guess is Wolski and his velvet hands get that slot
which I thought was part of his strategy

BWAHAHAHAAHA
Lol, LW, I should’ve known better….No mas. I knew you’d have a kick out of this one. Next time you visit US, bring a lot of sense of humor along, will you? I can assure you can make millions selling it in some areas…
Wasn’t WW the one who concussed Alfredson and knocked him out of commission for awhile? Oh, boy….
Good point ilb, WW got hurt 2 games later and missed the November rematch
Correct, captain.
I hear you, Carp…
Is Carkner playing? Because their other visor-wearing tough guy, Cowen, apparently doesn’t cut it…Bahama Bomba handled him with ease, iirc
Maybe that’s why Torts put WW in, so he can face retribution for taking out Alfie.
WE ARE NUMBER 1
get it…got it …goood!!!
Anyone have a good option for getting the game tonight online or otherwise. I’ve been away on vacation for a bit and just got back to my apartment and have no MSG. Such a douche move! I’m switching to Fios next week. In the meantime is there anything I can do to watch tonights game for free? Thanks in advance.

Alfredson is dead to me
EX3 is back
balmy 70 degrees here…just got back from 4 sets of great tennis…
The Alfredson-Wolski tilt will be a donnybrook for the ages. Those two guys are crazy. My guess, Wolski wins for TKO after hitting him over the head with his European Hand Bag Ruth Buzzi style.
Damn, Eddie, don’t rub it in. I’d love to play a few sets outdoors….
How’s the backhand?

LETS GO RANGERS!!!
Trust me, CT, until this coach starts giving Hags some serious PP time, which he has richly earned and deserves,I will seriously question his interest in this team winning anything.
It is almost pukin’ criminal-negligence at this point, and if it’s ok with you, in the meantime I am going to maintain that I want this team to win more than the coach does – which should not be the case.
ILB – PR is great this time of year – high of 83 in the day, not lower than 74 at night. Just went there over the holidays. And still US soil so the dollar is no problema.
stranger nation – my fellow poet laureate, dont bet, never sweat, always get, new york met, groom a pet, offensive named Tet, my hair be wet, won every set, get to the net, i call a let, piano fret
boyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
NYR – a 7 spot? When is the last time that happened?
ilb – go west young man
If Tortorella had been Babe Ruth’s manager he would have flashed him the bunt sign, three times a game. Tortorella is a joke!
Gulp….
Four Sets to love
smack em with your glove
Eddie serving aces
put them in the places
moving em around
drive them to the ground
playing some good tennis
acting like a menace
beating it down the line
rolling up the ‘kind’
strumming the mean bow
putting on a show
making a quite a racket
in his warm up jacket
stranger – my backhand is very steady…2 hander….lotta topspin….can a good one handed slice…..
Dont believe they will get 7? Just watch ‘em go tonight!!!
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
I will, Eddie, at some point. Won’t move, not with my parents in their 80th, but will visit soon. Mrs has been talking about it for awhile. I promise to bring my Babolat along.
Tire Forts!!!

Was skating on my backyard rink last night and I popped off two pop cans in a row!!! One was a slapper and the other was a wicked wrister!!
LETS GO RANGERS LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
ilb – i will turn you on to a good friend…oren motevassel…former tour player…164 in the world at one point….few years ago..he was world #1, in the mens’s 40’s…...played moya in london when moya was 5 in the world
Carp, don’t. He is….
NYR – nice – water bottle buster special!!
Were you channeling your inner Wolski?
new post.
Why, you won’t play me, Eddie?
Boom Boom – are you on something today? You’re not making sense like usual.
I mean you normally make sense
Carp –
Hags has earned PP time ahead of about five clowns who get PP minutes ahead of him. Something is going on here – you’re a reporter/investigative journalist and a good one. I bet if you were to dig deeply into it you would find something surprising, an angle none of us here has yet fathomed, as to why the best rookie in the NHL, and the best skater on the Rangers is deliberately blocked from being able to help the teams’ power play, when he has measurably upgraded the team at even strength, and we emphatically know how much on the PK.
Dammit, if he can score 4 on 5, and we have seen it, it is not rocket science to deduce that he can score, in prolific fashion, 5 on 4.
It is sick, Carp. A month ago it may have been defensible for some arcane reason, but no longer.
This arrogant coach OWES RANGER FANS AN EXPLANATION, and it is time the media started bombarding him with leading questions here. We deserves answers, not this coach’s steady dose of condescension he hands us.
OK?
Wow, Boom. That is some rant.
new post a while ago, by the way.
