Rangers Talk Loss to Thrashers

Here are quotes released by the Rangers after the game...

John Tortorella on the team’s play after not playing for four nights…
“I think you just work yourself out of it. Again, it is something all coaches and all teams try to figure out how to get through that part, just fighting through the staleness you have a little bit after a trip like that. By no means is it an excuse but it happens. It happens to teams. I thought we worked through it. I thought we played a really good third period.

Henrik Lundqvist on giving up the early goal…
“We get a good start and they put it in the net. After that, we regrouped pretty well. It is tough to let in a goal like that right away…you get on your heels. We were 1-1 after the first. What killed us was the last five minutes of the second period. We played a great third period. The guys played really hard. We hit the post a couple of times. It was close, but it just wasn’t enough tonight.”

Ryan Callahan on playing without Chris Drury and Brandon Dubinsky…
“Obviously they are big players for our PKs (penalty kills). Some of our guys stepped up and guys did good on the PK (penalty kill), but we have to stay out of the box.”
