One could conjecture whether Tortorella has out-coached Bruce Boudreau and the only conclusion, based on the three-games-to-one Ranger advantage, that the answer is affirmative….
Is it to soon to celebrate? Of course. But, unless Backstrom, Kozlov, Semin, et. al. quickly stop auditioning for Rip Van Winkle, the horns can be taken out of storage.

Agreed, penciling in ‘H Lundqvist’ on a lineup card doesn’t take a genius. The fact that Torts let Avery play again after his first dumb penalty in the third was pretty stunning. If the Caps had scored on that last PP, I doubt even Fischler would drool all over himself about Torts’ coaching acumen.

Fischler must pay thousands in car repair bills every year. It must be difficult to drive what with the dark-blue colored lenses on his glasses…

I don’t think coaching has been the key difference in the series, I think it’s been goaltending. And I think that if the Caps had good goaltending in game 1, this series is tied. That said, I think Torts is one of the best coaches in the league and it’s entirely fair to suggest he’s better than BB. I just don’t think the standings in this series is good evidence of that.
