Rangers Talk Loss to Caps

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

John Tortorella on tonight’s game…
“We created a number of scoring chances but being undisciplined and also giving up too many chances ourselves. We can’t lose that in our game as far as our defense. They are a great offensive team but we have to continue to work on our defense and let our offense go off of that.”

Olli Jokinen on tonight’s game…
“The bottom line is that I have to help this team win hockey games. We have to find a way to win because everyone knows where we are in the standings. We have to play every game as a playoff game. We have to take something positive out of every game – we scored five tonight. We have to play a lot better defensively.”

Vinny Prospal on the team’s power play success…
“I think we just shot the puck more. We shot the puck and went to the net and we got some bounces. We got some rebounds too. Our goals were on the rebounds, one was a five-on-three play and one was a tip in. That’s what you have to do when you’re struggling.”

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes has more quotes including this one from Ryan Callahan on taking too many penalties...

“That’s one of our main points, not to take too many penalties,” said Ryan Callahan, “and it came back to bite us. We played great five on five, but we’ve got to stay out of the box. We gave those guys too many chances. Our PK has been great all along, but when you take that many penalties, you’re not going to be able to stop them all.”
