The way this is worded makes it sound like Torts really didn't want to call him up so soon..

Cranky much Torts?

From zipay's Twitter;

@stevezipay: Torts says it was a decision by Hartford to send Kreider back to NHL. "I'm glad he got in a game; he needs to play."

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Wow that sounds like Torts was kinda unhappy with it... rightfully so, I guess. I can see where he wants Chris to get more playing time. But I feel like if he doesn't play here at the same time, he won't get much better. I want to see less defensive lapses. That's the most important thing. He's worried about Kreider's playing time.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

You respond with something like "that's confidential". There's something to be said for politeness.

Torts? Polite?

What now?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

The Blackhawks are freaking good

 

[KreiMeARiver*]

Well, I just watched The Running Man, and this is the first time in a while I've heard a crowd chant for "Richards!!" hahahaha

 

[KreiMeARiver*]

Torts? Polite?

I didn't play the game vs. Islanders on NHL 13, as it was V-Day and I was doing my thing....

but otherwise, I've played all of our previous wins (and won in the game) except for like 1 at the beginning weekend.

I just beat the Caps 3-2. Goals by Gaborik, Staal, and Hagelin

My man, Gabby. Good stuff.

The lack of Boyle/Stepan is upsetting but the win is promising. I trust your NHL 13 more than anything else we have.

“@AGrossRecord: Looks like Nash is good to go, takes part in pre-game line rushes.”

“@stevezipay: Kreider leaning on boards by bench while rest of NYR continues warming up”

“@AGrossRecord: Looks like Nash is good to go, takes part in pre-game line rushes.â€

Awesome!

hahaha I've sat Boyle cuz I created Miller cuz he hasn't played his 6 games yet for an update. **Looking at you, EA**

plus I just literally got my first grocery store number/date on my first ever try... at 34. That HAS to be a good omen for my beloved Rangers, no?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

So Kreider misses another Hartford game to "watch" and "learn". Nice.

What year is it again? 2002?

Starting to get pathetic. Really beginning to get sick of Tortorella.

It isn't. You're a Rangers fan, remember? If something good happens in your life, they will negate it and vice versa. I've come to accept this.

 

[trader11]

Good way to ruin your prospects......keep up the good work.....lol.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Yeah, because Tortorella never lets any rookie get icetime...

Steve Zipay ‏@stevezipay

Nash just went off with two minutes to go in warmups


Steve Zipay ‏@stevezipay

As did a few other Rangers, so...

 

[Zuuuuc]

I understand Callahan is our captain, and our heart and soul, and that he's at the top of the hierarchy when it comes to the players pecking order...but would it kill him to play LW and let our best goal scorer play on his comfortable side lol

 

[KreiMeARiver*]

It isn't. You're a Rangers fan, remember? If something good happens in your life, they will negate it and vice versa. I've come to accept this.

Actually this is a really brilliant point (illustrated quite myopically by my Valentine's Day first date where I came to work in the same clothes the next day on a night the Rangers lost....to...the Islanders).

Jim Cerny ‏@JimCerny

warmups over at The Garden...no word yet on Rick Nash's status..took line rushes with Stepan and Hagelin...

hm, would be ridiculous if he didn't play, but you never know with tort's mind games. haha

 

[Kokoschka]

haven't got a particularly good feeling about this one. Let's hope they prove me wrong. Only gonna watch period 1 as I just came home from Budapest and am dead tired.

LGR!

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

its on the same channel as the Blackhawks and Kings right? hopefully this ends in regulation then!

 

[Doctyl]

so back to 2 lines tonight I see..

surprised bicks isnt back yet. seems like torts doesnt like when he can roll 4 lines on offense and 3 on D
