from Jeff Z. Klein of Slap Shot at the NY Times,
Tortorella is usually full of eloquent enthusiasm, but always lurking just beneath the surface is the promise of conflict. He said he was looking forward to getting hold of the Rangers for the first time in training camp, as opposed to late in the season.
“The real part of it is when you can have your own camp,” he said. “That’s where we can establish what our mindset is going to be, conditioning, which I think is a weakness of our club. As I’ve said, and I make no bones about it, I don’t think we’re a stiff team mentally. I think we have to be a little bit tougher in that area, in mental parts and preparation.”
And how will it work with the Rangers now that Torts will have control from Game 1?
“It’s a process, it’s accountability, it’s merit,” he said, then outlined a program of eternal Darwinian struggle.
