Steve Zipay at Blue Notes has quotes from numerous Rangers including this one from John Tortorella... "There's going to be other benchings. I'll tell you right now. I have some people in mind."
...man, Torts keeps these guys on their toes.
Zipay has additional quotes from Torts as well as statments from Lundqvist, Dubinsky and Drury.
Here are quotes released by the Rangers after the game...
John Tortorella on neutral zone play…
“We were better at it. I think we gave up 11 or 12 scoring chances but we were much better away from the puck. The second goal was the one we got caught changing and a couple of people leaving the zone…we were sloppy there but for the most part we were pretty good as far as those types of situations.”
Henrik Lundqvist on tonight’s game…
“I think tonight we were off to a really good start. They are a fast team. They skate a lot and move the puck a lot. We did a good job. It changed a little bit when they scored a couple of goals and got some energy. I like the way we responded in the third. Personally, I knew it was going to be a good intense third period. It felt good with the help of the defense.”
Chris Drury on Enver Lisin…
“Enver brings a lot to that line (first). He seems to be working well with those guys and he does a lot with the scoring chances.”
Sean Avery on Phoenix’s two quick goals in the second period…
“That is something that is not a pattern at this point. If it is, it is probably because we got away from our foundation which is our forecheck and our system. We have a certain style we are supposed to play every night and when we stray from that, things don’t go well. I think when we play into our system and into our foundation we find success.”

Any thoughts on who he's going to bench? I really feel like Drury could benefit from a night off. Something about his game last night didn't seem right.
Drury, Avery or Callahan.
Drury.
