Lundqvist Likes Tortorella's System

Arthur Staple at Newsday reports that Henrik Lundqvist supports John Tortorella's up-tempo, aggressive system...

"I don't see it as a bad thing," Lundqvist told Newsday from his offseason home in Sweden. "I think it actually helps our defensive game. We'll be aggressive and the puck will be up the ice a lot more."

...of course he supports it. Lundqvist was victimized way too many times by his terrible defensemen last year (ie Redden & Rozsival) to know this team can't rely on it's defense to shut teams down until the offense gets a timely goal. Which usually didn't come anyway.

...i'm excited for a full season of an aggressive offense after the last three years of grind-it-out hockey under Renney.
