Another Classic Tortorella Moment in Less Than 24 Hours!!!

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports on John Tortorella's media briefing today which innocently started with Tortorella explaning the Rangers needed to play with some swagger then onto discussing the Rangers new acquisitions.

That was until Zipay asked him what seemed like a simple question about the Rangers being 0 and 5 this season in afternoon games, which received this response from an obviously bothered Tortorella...

"I don't give a damn about your stats," Torts shot back. "I don't give a damn about your stats. We're gonna try to approach the game the proper way. I'm not a big stat guy, you can turn those things around anyway you want."

Tortorella then tossed off another writer's question as to whether there was any difference getting guys into the lineup at home or on the road.

Here is my post on his first one last night.

...i think he's starting to feel comfortable.

He better be careful, Mrs. Gary Bettman might put him in a behavioral modification program for speaking his mind and off the cuff.
