Fischler Sits Down With Tortorella

Over at MSG.com, Stan Fischler has a great interview with John Torterella...

On the most important thing a Ranger should know coming to camp:

"We've already put it in two letters sent out to them — conditioning. They'd better be in top shape because the first two days are going to be grueling. The style we play means that the guys will have to be in great skating shape. What worried me last season is that a lot of players tired as the first (playoff) round went on."

...good luck with all that boys.

On improving the power play:

"The biggest thing we need is to have someone to settle it down. We need a quarterback just to have poise and not make a bad play; a turnover. One of our biggest weaknesses was a lack of poise and our building can be tough. Redden has to be one of the guys who can settle it down and Rozsival as well."

...i personally think Redden doesn't have it in him anymore to be that power play quarterback. That responsibility is going to fall squarely on the shoulders of Rozsival.

Torts also talks Gaborik, Drury, Avery and many other subjects.
