I briefly mentioned head coach John Tortorella's postgame remarks at the conclusion of last night's 2-1 loss to the Islanders. If you did not catch it on the MSG broadcast, the following are the actual quotes courtesy of Ranger Rants.
On the first period being unacceptable: "Absolutely. I have no explanation for how we started. I wish I could give you one."
The remedy to the team's lifelessness: "What is the remedy? I don't know how you want me to answer that."
What do you think you need to do: "Play ^#(^&@ harder."
If the team is capable of figuring it out: "I'll tell you right now, the thing that's unacceptable about tonight's game and we're trying to stay positive around here, trying to work our way through it, but when we play like ^*^#@ like that for 20 minutes in a game like this in a back-to-back situation, it's unacceptable. I'm not even going back as far as a month and are we capable. It's simply unacceptable. There has to be something done and we'll see along the way before tomorrow night's game. We'll see where we go with them. It's just simply unacceptable how we started that game. I wish I could give you a ($@#*%# explanation about it. I can't."
More in a bit including goaltending decision....

Yea a coach change is in order I think.... again. Yea either that or a GM change. I remember Torts last season he was fired up on the bench and stuff. Well besides this of course. We barely see him do that anymore to my knowledge. He came here to fire up the team... he's reallllly doing that now -_-. He needs to play smart now lundqvist hasnt been off in awhile now. Give johnson a chance already see if he can play at this level in a regular season game. If he can't get a goalie that can. We have the player thats leading the league in scoring, 3rd in points WERE IN 11 place. They has to be some type of change or the seasons over. Unless we could go on another streak like we did at the beginning of the season.
You may be dead on with that comment about a GM replacement. Supposedly Sather is going to fired according to various radio stations and web sites. We will see.
