Players May Have Changed Sather’s Mind
Reports in the New York Daily News and New York Post today indicated that firing John Tortorella may not have been the original game plan following Saturday’s defeat and elimination by the Boston Bruins.
It appears that at least some Rangers made it known in their exit interviews, that they felt the coach had become an impediment to progress. Undoubtedly Tortorella’s abrasive style is bound to rub some players up the wrong way, but this is the first we’ve heard of any broader dissent with his approach to coaching.
