Rangers, Torts Talk Win vs. Flames

The Rangers released these quotes after the game…

John Tortorella on tonight’s game…

“We don’t change our game.  We certainly try to play a lot behind their net.  I think our goaltending has been really good in the third period.  We just have to play in there behind their net, try to grind it and get scoring chances that way.”

Dan Girardi on tonight’s game…

“It was a good job for our team to hold the lead for that long in a game.  We really needed a win at home.”

Martin Biron on tonight’s game…

“A lot of teams are victimized coming back home not having any legs, not being able to play physical.  I think that was the total opposite for us – the physicality on our side of the game was top level.  We responded really well.”

While Steve Zipay at Blue Notes has more…

Biron on his outstanding play…

“It’s about putting the work in at practice,” said Biron.  “A few weeks ago we started the bike program and that’s gets me working after the games that I don’t play. It gets my legs and lungs going.”

Derek Stepan on his faceoff win that led to Girardi’s goal…

“I stepped into the circle, looked at Danny Girardi, because I was on my forehand and wanted to try to bring it to my backhand. I won it back cleanly, he came down Main Street and made a great shot.”

Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants has this quote from Marc Staal on if his hit on Stajan was legal..

“With the new rule for blindside hits, obviously it becomes under much more analysis,” Staal said.inal
