from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
John Tortorella looked around the group of reporters Monday and asked the question.
“OK, I’ll poll you right now,” said the New York Rangers coach. “Who thinks we’re going to win tomorrow?”
Not a single hand was raised.
“There you go. There is no pressure on us,” said Tortorella. “We’re going to go there and try to relax and compete in a Game 7 because everybody thinks we’re done. It falls back on them. They have the advantage because it is a home building and that’s what they did this year. They deserve that seventh game, but it’s funny what happens with the pressure.”
Ah, the mind games on the eve of a seventh game. It’s universal in all sports.

Its game 7. You have to go on the road. You lost back to back games to lose a 3-1 series advantage. Your team plays in New York. And there is no pressure? Please.

Torts should know. He won a Cup in a Game Seven.
