Rangers Hold Closed Door Meeting After Loss to Canes

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports that the Ranger players held a closed door meeting after tonight's loss to the Hurricanes and has this quote from Marian Gaborik on the meeting...

“overall as a team we’ve been inconsistent, it’s not about one guy….I don’t want to talk about it (the post-game, closed door meeting).It was about the team. We just have to snap out of it. It’s gonna be huge to really stay together and gain some confidence and play how we are capable of playing. We’re better than this."

Here are more quotes from Zipay...

Chris Drury on the state of the team...
“We have a lot of negative stuff coming down on this team right now,” said Chris Drury, who also spoke about the need to “stay together…During the game, after the game, before the game, I think we have to do the best we can to stay together. We got into this little four-game skid together and we are going to get out of it together. It’s probably a good time to go on the road.”

John Tortorella on what's next...
“You have to make your own luck,” Torts said. “It’s an unforgiving week. No one is going to feel sorry for you. The best thing for us is to get out of town. We have to regroup as a hockey club. You can’t be pointing a finger at your teammates. You have to grind through this. Having gone through all this, in the Eastern Conference, we are still right in the middle of it. We will get on the plane and try to regroup here. That’s the key thing, not break apart.”
