Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Jets 3/14/13 - Tort-O-Rella

[*Bob Richards*]

Anisimov is actually playing very well over in Columbus. Dubinsky sucks

I certainly would take AA back sooner than Dubi but I'm just anticipating that classic reactionary post from some. Idk, I'm just sad.

 

[ImIdaho]

You really think 26 games is the difference between becoming elite and washed up?


Please answer me this question. Please.


Are you not at all skeptical of the coaching? Especially since struggles not only are affecting Gaborik but Richards as well? You think its just ****ing coincidence?

I dislike what Torts is doing, but that doesn't negate Gaborik playing like ****, too.

 

[Petey Pucks]

What about if we get Sir Alex Ferguson to coach the Rangers?....maybe we could be like Manchester United....oh wait...wrong sport....but maybe it could work

 

[The Gloaming]

Why the mother**** did JT Miller play 20 minutes?

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Anyone think it's time to give Kreider another shot?

At least he has some offense in him, well, that is if Torts doesn't put him in the doghouse after one mistake. Miller is now at the point where he's turning over the puck regularly and most of the time leading to a scoring chance for the other team.

 

[Dagoon44]

People I want gone or with the Whale:

Mike Sullivan
Marian Gaborik
Brad Richards
Stu Bickel
Brian Boyle
Michael Haley
Matt Gilroy



And honestly, I don't care what they do with Torts. He's made his fair share of head-scratching decisions this year. Same goes for Del Zotto. And what a bonehead move keeping JT Miller with the bigs. He's ready but Kreider isn't? Miller belongs with the Whale and it was a mistake keeping him up here. Now, it's too late. We burned a year so we might as well keep him up here.

THIS.....

what the hell did this poor kid Michael Haley do wrong so far? just another post with no fact or reason.. Tylor Pyatt is ok with you and your thinking?

 

[zuckera1]

We seriously need to somehow find a way to bring in a LW/3rd center so this team gets some depth.

Trade Gaborik for depth. Problem solved

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Stuff it. Keep stuffing the stat sheet man. You only bring up stats but fail to discuss Gaborik's play. What does he bring this team when he's not scoring? Anything?

When Nash has an off night, he still generates chances. Not Gaborik. Move him. Give it up

The point I was making wasn't about his play it was about his production and that's what you were arguing against.

Regarding his overall play. This season it's been terrible, no denying. Earlier years, he's had periods where he's been completely invisible, but most of the time he's been skating well even if he's not scoring, creating chances for himself and his team mates.

 

[Net Front Presence]

Miller played more than Cally. LOL

 

[Leetch2McDonagh27]

He's also not getting any ****ing younger.

He can't shoot, he can't skate, has 0 dekes, plays like molasses, stands there like a bum..but he was stellar last season.

and he was even more stellar back in 09-10' too!!! The amount of Gaborik patrons never cease to amaze.

This guy is done......no way to put it. Absolute bum.......just how Pro athlete's regress, he's lost enough of his skills and passion to be anywhere remotely close to effective. Move him at the trade deadline for cheap. Spend the 7.5 somewhere else......

 

[Heyoooo*]

19 GWG in his ranger career

also this:

18th in franchise history.

They just dont like him. Period. The guy could score 60 goals for all we care, they still wont like him.

Theyre biased towards North Americans.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

What about this:

• Me, Ranger Boy & Dagoon take over the bench
• Bernmeister new GM
• HF Boards invests in extremely enlarged server capacity

This is one of the best posts I have ever seen.

I do. I think Kreider will help IF Torts actually gives the kid a chance. But i doubt it because he hates Kreider

 

[SwedishMafia]

Fking make Cally the Coach.

Just wondering... has there ever been a player/coach in hockey?

 

[chosen]

The problem with the Rangers is that we all believed they would be great this year and they ain't.

No offense from the D, and only 3 or 4 forwards who generate offense. That's a bad formula.

That said, they can still win the Cup. Anyone who gets in, can. LA did it last year and at this time last year they were in worse shape than the Rangers. Doesn't mean they will win. Just means that right now, no one has a clue who will win.

 

[Championship*]

I'm not a Gaborik hater by any means but let's call a spade a spade. Nothing he's done in his past is helping us now. If he's not going to be the player he was then he's just wasting space. We NEED 40 goal gaborik. We don't need whatever version this is right now.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Haha torts' reaction to the chant question.

 

[Net Front Presence]

Who the hell would ask him about the chant? ****in idiot

 

[NYRFAN218]

Why the mother**** did JT Miller play 20 minutes?

Miller played more than Cally. LOL

Miller only played 10 minutes.

[nyrpassion]

reporter: the tortorella chant,
torts: "the what."
pr guy: we're not taking that question, next question

 

[Whiplash27]

Torts makes it out like he didn't hear the chants.

 

[Leetch2McDonagh27]

Haley hasn;t donw anything wrong. if anything, he's actually been pretty decent. Everyone else on the list needs to go though.....no doubt about that

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Why the mother**** did JT Miller play 20 minutes?

It's his birthday. It was his wish and Torts' granted it
