Didn't Semin get a penalty for that slash? Kinda flies in the face of "Maybe if our players stay down on the ice, we'll get something"

I realize it's just gamesmanship by Torts, but he's been an asshat the entire playoffs.

Elias has received high sticks in two separate games with no call,delzotto closes his hand on the puck no call,Atrain gets a blatant elbow to the head no call and several other infractions go uncalled.Torts really needs to just STFU

It's an embarrassment to the United States that this troll is the most successful (in terms of wins) U.S. born coach in the NHL. As much whining and crying he does about inequality, he'd make a damn fine Commie

That's what I can't figure out dash, he's always been an asshat but for some reason this year he has raised the bar. What is he trying to accomplish? If they were down 3-0 or something like that I would figure he is just pulling a Burkie and trying to divert attention from his teams performance.

The only thing I can think of is he's trying to keep the pressure off of his players by taking the attention on himself...but you can do that without being a jerk to people just doing their jobs (AKA reporters, writers, et al.). I really lost most respect with this because he's just a giant hypocrite after he went off about the Pens.

It's hard to explain like you said they have some good players that do sell out for the team every game, it's like he wants all of the attention to be focused on him.

I would be interested to hear from Rangers fans and see what they think of his antics.

Calling All Rangers Fan !!!

:rolleyes:

If it was another coach I could buy into that but this is the same guy who threw a water bottle at a fan and whined constantly .Torts is just an asshole plain and simple

Torts actually answered a question. This guy acts like he's got some Top Secret game plan every playoff game. It's ridiculous. Torts is a good coach, Lundqvist makes him better than he really is though.

I didn't see this posted, Torts is at it again...

NEW YORK -- In a heated Hudson River clash that is threatening to become pretty nasty, the gloves were officially dropped Sunday when Rangers coach John Tortorella ripped the Devils, accusing them of selling penalty calls and skirting the rules.



That's where I stopped reading. You know why? Because I watched the Sens series.

You mean this one in round 2?

And that one.

Can I get an AMEN!

Anyone other than Lundqvist in there and they don't beat Ottawa, let alone the Caps.

I just see it as him sticking up for his players. But like some people said he could probably do this in a nicer way. I honestly don't pay much attention to this stuff.
