Kerry Fraser says the tying Malkin goal last night should have been disallowed.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Not sure if this is out there or not but Rick Vaive has pulled out of the lawsuit vs the NHL.

Sens leading the Canucks 1-0 after one in Disappointment Bowl I.

Clarke MacArthur, one of a handful of non-disappointing players on the Sens, has the tally.

Which of these underachieving squads will get the likely meaningless two points tonight?

I started crying at that

I think Torts better be careful about that stuff, he would have been better off doing it in the locker room where people don't see it - that's the difference between a coach who gets it and a coach who doesn't

it's not a frequent thing. Hansen fucked up coverage. now he knows.
I'm surprised Torts didn't knock Kassian and Booth's heads together after the Sens 2nd goal.
It would have been warranted.

I can't complain really about anything the torts has done so far.
Even after losing 7 of 8, he has been very supportive of the team and they way they have been playing

I understand all that and Hansen did screw up, but we always see that honey moon period where a supposed tough coach comes in and things are all roses the first few months, and then his typical self takes over - I'm not saying he shouldn't get a chance to redeem himself, but don't be surprised if he starts reverting back to his old attitude later in the season

I'm sure they'll get better as a team, but wouldn't be surprised if he starts blowing a gasket more often later in the season

Calvin de Haan called up, Matt Donovan sent down:

Lost the locker room here last year with his attitude and losing faith in the players. Wouldn't surprise me to see it happen again. Torts comes back to NY tomorrow when we face his Canucks, this should be fun.

lol this tortorella shit is ridiculous

the warnings from rangers fans that he will lose the room

you guys are making it sound like its gonna be a one and done thing ... like ive said before the dude isnt Mike Keenan ... He lasted 7 years with the Lightning and 5 with the rangers ... he has staying power because he knows how to coach and work guys ... he obviously doesnt alienate his players just out of nowhere and they quit on him ... its a build up lol

and as far as worrying that he went off on Hansen ... BIG FUCKIN MEH ... get back to me when he goes off on one of the leaders of the team (the Sedins) at the bench like that

A guy he coached for years, he lost in a matter of a season and a half in Richards. Somebody Richards looked up to, and considered a very close friend. Torts buried him here.

I'm not saying that it will be one and done, they wont do that to him, but we all know about his temper and his short leash with players. I'm not sitting here rooting for him to be fired or anything, just telling you what I saw here for years.

Man - that is one sweet jersey. Between their reported unselfish play and the big O on their jerseys, expect ticket sales to women to skyrocket!

Or against a goalie who isn't a complete sieve right now. Anderson has been awful this year.
