Rangers head coach John Tortorella speaks with reporters on March 22 after the Blueshirts defeated Florida 1-0 at MSG for their fifth straight victory.
Rangers vs. Panthers highlights.
Meanwhile, Rick Carpiniello at the Rangers Report has numerous post game player quotes…
Brian Boyle on the game…
“I thought we played pretty good, though. We created some chances. I thought we defended well. We didn’t have a letdown. This was a big game for us. You look at a time like that sometimes, it’s not a playoff team, they’ve had some turnover on their roster. But we knew they would come in and play hard, and we can’t afford, especially in our situation now, coming off some wins, to take any kind of letdown. We can’t take a breath. We’ve got to keep going. And I thought we did a pretty good job.”
Brandon Dubinsky on his game winner…
“It’s big. I guess somebody had to do it. So it’s a pretty good feeling to bury there. But just a great play by Artie and Cally there. We were buzzing around most of the night, and for us to continue to stick with it, we knew we were going to get one, and we were able to capitalize there.”
Henrik Lundqvist on the temperature of the team…
“We’re just playing hard, we’re sticking with what we’re talking about, and pucks seem to bounce our way. We just have to be honest to yourself when you play. Even though you’re winning you know you can always improve, and I think last game we did a few mistakes, but we corrected tonight and played pretty solid.”
Ryan Callahan on his line taking offensive responsibility, to make the difference:
“I think all year we’ve felt that way. We feel like we’re a line that needs to produce and put up points for us to be successful. And we put that pressure on ourselves as a line to go out there and make a difference, and not only create energy and play well defensively, but at the same time we’ve got to put points on the board for us to win games. We’ve had our ups and downs a little bit this year but I thought we’ve been pretty consistent with that.”
