PrintAs the New York Rangers took the ice for their practice in Greenburgh, there was something interesting going on, on the ice. After several minutes of practicing, John Tortorella didn't like the intensity from his team and sent them back to the locker room.
After Tortorella's so-called "reset" the players finished out practice and Torts liked what he saw. He stated after practice that he didn't want the players getting their mind off of the game plan. He also said that the team has a lot to work on, and he wants everyone focused day in and day out.
There was also a mention of Marc Staal, and his recent improvements. Tortorella stated that Staal is starting to gain his confidence back, and is getting his physicality back. Staal also has been getting better in the offensive zone, looks really comfortable and is getting up the ice more to get in the play.

He’s coached them to 1st in the league and you want to fire him? The hell is the matter with you people. First it’s “OMFG trade for better scorers” and now it’s “We needz a new coach!”
STOP IT!
Those pussies need a tough coach. They play too damn soft half the time. You’d think they’d at least try to block a shot on occasion!
I’m pretty sure the first comment had sarcasm written all over it lol.

An interview with Torts just wouldn’t be complete without him saying the team had a lot to work on. This wasn’t meant to be commentary on the validity of Torts belief, it’s just that he says that all. the. time.

Good thing

The future is looking bright boys.
Btw, I kinda love this NHL On Th Fly show, and having 3-4 extra hockey games each week… when MSG comes back, I may have to subscribe to this little extra sports tier. Think its like $5-6 per month.
This guy is a genius. Knows exactly what he has to do to get the best out of this team. Keep it up Torts.

Required reading
CBC’s 30 Thoughts should be weekly required reading, if you aren’t familiar with it:
I can't argue with the more or the results...
with a team that current has two players touting minuses (Rich and Feds, -1 and -2 respectively). I have NO issue with the act of grabbing your team by the balls, and getting them working…even in practice.
"Fart like a man! It's hockey!"
If 24/7 didn’t teach us anything about John Tortorella being the coach of our Hockey Club, then those of you need a repeat of watching all four episodes. If he felt the practice session was not up to par, then he has the right to grab them by the balls and send them back into the dressing room.
I want no let up, no give up, no trap game moments because right now tonight’s game is too damn important and I don’t care who the opponent is. Keep it going and keep it rolling.
