Honeymoon is Over

Rick Carpiniello at the Rangers Report says that the “new coach” honeymoon period is over for the Rangers players...

"Tortorella must have peeled the paint off the walls between the first and second periods, must have promised the Rangers that they would either skate hard the last 40 minutes or skate much, much harder today in practice. Whatever, he got their attention and got results. (A while back, I said he’s not exactly like Keenan—and after the game, when he wouldn’t talk about why Nik Zherdev was benched, he proved it; Keenan would have gone off about how he let his teammates down and embarrassed his family)."

...i feel like for the first time the Rangers became Tortorella's team last night. During the first six games Tortorella dealt with this club with kid gloves, but last night the gloves came off and the Rangers responded with their best effort of the year.
