Morning Skate: Tortorella Blows up, Rangers Win

by David Oleksy on Oct 6, 2009 6:01 AM EDT in Daily Links

I really hate the NHL schedule makers right now. The Sabres played Saturday and now we have to wait until Thursday to see them play again. I am just dying for another Sabres game and instead I'm stuck talking about John Tortorella.

The Rangers beat the Devils but not before John Tortorella went ballistic. We all know how angry Tortorella can get...wasn't he the one that went in the crowd after a fan when he was an assistant for Muckler?

Does anyone really know what the escrow is all about? I won't even venture a guess but I assume the players are happy.

Will the Islanders Lighthouse Project Ever Happen? - SB Nation
By now we all know about the Lighthouse Project on Long Island. It will be a shame if it is the most publicized project that ever happens. Charles Wang is not confident and Islanders fans are nervous that they may lose their team. I've said this before but it wold be a shame if the Islanders move from Long Island.

Well, it worked

The Rangers started the game as if they could care less. NJ already had a 1-0 lead and was beating NY to every puck. For some reason, the team was totally listless. Tortorella, who demands 100 percent effort, called a time out, reamed out his team, and they snapped out of it, going on to victory.

Maybe someone ought to send a tape of that to Dick Jauron!
