    It's pretty much like what Glen Healy said last night when he was with Sam Rosen. The Torts team that went to the ECF was just way to tired in the New Jersey series. Everybody blocks shots these days but it was the grinding style that just wore his own players down. Look at Montreal. I think a similar thing happened to them. They looked like a dead team last night. Honestly should've been a 4-0 or a 5-0 game.

    Not only a grinding style but one that had players constantly diving in front of pucks and always on their knees. Its true they still block shots but do it a little differently now. And the other thing that always irked me with torts is that he would go down to 3 and a couple of times what seemed like 2 lines and 4 D and just ran them out there over and over so that you had guys with 28 minutes and guys with 2 and 3 minutes.

    yea, 10yrs ago on a loaded team. His style is archaic and that's why he's no longer a good coach. Just look at VAN, fired after 1yr lol.

    Yes, that was the worst habit from the Tort's teams. Girardi was the biggest culprit even this season of falling to the ice and taking himself out of the play completely. I think Ulf and the coaching staff finally broke them of that habit. As for rolling lines it's clear how much that has helped. Playoff game number 20 and the Rangers not only were flying last night but played an incredible third period.

    Bottom line is Torts started the process of teaching them how to win and AV is finishing it up nicely...LOL

    Who cares torts is in the past, We move on. I woke up this morning and was still emotionally overloaded to the point i wasnt sure it really happened last night. It was supremely fitting that Dominic Moore scored the game winner, good for him! Now hopefully Chicago can push LA one more and get a game 7 going so we can get a team that just went threw a war either way.
