In yet another sign that John Tortorella is in total charge, the Rangers head coach scratched Sean Avery, a game after his two egregious third-period penalties almost cost the Rangers dearly in Game 5. Aaron Voros is in, not sure of the lines yet, expect Voros to play on the fourth... Avery had dressed in all 22 games---including the four playoff games---since being summoned from Hartford in early March, but apparently Tortorella lost his patience.

Sean Avery a scratch tonight.
Here is what is really funny John Tortorella benches Sean Avery to send him a messagne and the Capitals score two goals in the first period and another one in the second period so far. Yeah how is that working for you Torts?

That was perhaps the worst performance by any team in the playoffs so far this post-season. The Rangers absolutely sucked. Frustration certainly set in. Did you see Torts post-game conference? He was like "next question," and then "something else" after the reporters kept asking him about Avery and the fans behind his bench. Avery should know that if he takes stupid penalities like that, he can expect to see more of the bench.
ReplyDeleteIs this the same game where Tortorella threw a water bottle into the crowd and had to be held back by players?
