Time For Tortorella To Put His Stamp On The Team

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post,
Tortorella joined the Rangers preaching, “It’s not about defense, it’s not about the defensive zone,” before amending his mantra. The problem is, his team has apparently taken him at his original word, for the Blueshirts enter tonight’s match ranked 24th in the NHL in goals-against average.
The Rangers have no presence in front of their own net—how exactly do we know that Lundqvist isn’t feeling the effect of being smashed down repeatedly by marauding forwards?—and no clue in their own end, where they habitually chase both the puck and opponents….
It is time for Tortorella to take ownership of that. It is time for Tortorella to take ownership of the Rangers. If he does not, he will never need to worry about having to acknowledge a Garden crowd giving him a standing ovation.
