Original Post:
Andrew Gross at Ranger Rants has quotes from John Tortorella’s post game press conference in which he rips the refs…
“It’s a tough one,” Tortorella said. “We gave them *&$)#@ all night long and they beat us five on three on a horse*&$)#@ call to start.
“As the game went on, it was one of those games. Both teams were grinding. I just wish the league would stay the hell out of it and let the teams decide it. It’s bull*&$)#@. There’s too much at stake here.
“We took some stupid penalties but Danny Girardi’s is not a boarding call. It’s just a simple guess. We gave them nothing five on four, nothing and we get beat five on three and it starts with a bad call.”
…i’m sorry, I know the refs were bad tonight, but Torts can’t blame the loss on them while dismissing the fact that the Rangers had just one shot in the first 19 minutes and the only scoring chances, other than the frantic final minute, were on the pk.
…i’ll post video once available.
