Tortorella: Back to NYC
Welcome back John Tortorella! Once an assistant coach with the Rangers (1999-2000), he served as interim head coach for four games. He is the real deal now coming in to replace Mr. Calm and Collected Tom Renney. Renney took the Rangers to the playoffs his four seasons as head coach, but the laid back approach was not enough to spark life back into a free-falling team this year. (10 losses in last 12 games) Instead the spark seems to be a louder and bolder Tortorella.
Tortorella spent seven seasons with Tampa Bay, leading them to the Stanley Cup in 2004, but was dismissed last summer by the Lightning. Tortorella has spent the time off the ice in a Canadian TV studio working as an analyst. He hasn't missed any action and is said to be just as boisterous as ever. On Monday, following a team meeting with Renney and GM Glen Sather, Goalie Henrik Lundquist said "Sometimes you have to accept that you need a change and you have to do it." The Rangers aren't out of it yet, tied at 5th place with Montreal, two points from 9th in the Eastern Conference (as I write this). I am all for Tortorella who can bring life to a team that desperately needs to play defense and score on the power play.

Fire Tom? Might as well fire the WHOLE TEAM!!!
Toms' got what NO ONE esle does, CONFIDENCE, HEART & SOUL!
Glen Sather, like his partner in incompetence Isiah Thomas, gets a pass. Put a tent on it and call all this the Dolan Circus at the Garden.
