New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella was not happy with recent comments made by San Jose Sharks captain Joe Thornton, who called the Rangers "probably the softest team we played against."
Thornton made the comments after the Sharks lost to the Rangers 5-2 on Monday, adding, "We played some good teams, and I think we probably should have beat these guys, to be honest with you."
Tortorella didn't say much in response to Thornton's comments Monday night, but according to a report in the New York Daily News, he had plenty to say on Tuesday.
"Yeah it caught me off-guard when it was brought up after the game," Tortorella said, according to the Daily News. "It surprised me, and I've never heard a player say that. Joe's a heck of a player, but here's a player popping off about our team, and Joe hasn't won a G
thing in this league."
"He could go down as a player, being one of the better players in our league never to win anything. So what he should do is just shut up. It was uncalled for, it was classless, and I've never had it happen like that before."
Thornton tried to clarify his comments earlier today, saying that soft wasn't the right word to describe the Rangers.

Surprises me Thornton saying that. I don't follow him real closely, but I always thought he was a pretty classy guy. But everybody puts their foot in their mouth from time to time. Tortorella really let him have it though. Essentially called the dude Dan Marino on ice.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
Just the lower half seating wise...it's now stadium seating
All the hallways have tripled in size
Ton of new food
Their is also a party section on top of the blue seats...pretty cool up there ..you don't need a ticket in that section to get in,but their is actually ticketed seats up there..
Another 2 seasons of work to be done
The catwalk across the ice is gonna be wild..you can walk and stand above the ice during the game..obviously it will be all glassed in
The new scoreboard will be sick also
Should be wild when it's all done in 2013
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......
According to Larry Brooks in the NY Post, the Rangers plan to place Marc Staal on Long Term Injury Reserved.
The team will get as close to the salary cap as they can, with moves like registering the contract of Anton Stralman and calling up Mats Zuccarello, to reap the most benefits of placing Staal on LTIR.
Brooks says:
But because teams only gain the difference between a player’s cap hit and the amount of cap space available at the time the athlete goes on LTI, the Rangers have yet to make the move with Staal because they haven’t been close enough to the ceiling.
It is the right move to place him on LTIR to try and get as much cap space as they can to replace him. This is what they talked about doing with Chris Drury before he was bought out.

and thus OUR SEASON IS PRETTY FUCKED....

i don't think Staal makes that much of a difference really, Lunqvist gives you guys a chance to win every night, you just need dubinsky,stepan, boye and others to score more goals imo.
