Torts Is Pissed At The Penguins & Playoff Picture Update
Torts was in fine fuming form last night following a Brooks Orpik knee-on-knee collision with Derek Stepan, basically calling the Pittsburgh organization a bunch of classless whiners. He may not be first in line for the Jack Adams but you gotta respect Torts’ deflection expertise here. The Blueshirts lay a stinker losing 5-2, so Torts starts whining about whiners and subtlely pointing fingers at superstars. Sending out a line of goons to start the game? He’ll flip a shit about it and respond by sending out thugs of his own to help “diffuse” the situation. The good ol’ goad-n-pounce; playing the press like a fiddle and before you know it, his song is stuck in your head worse than the Call Me Maybe chorus on infinite repeat. See he knows that these hypocritical rants and expletive laden press scrums are what gets his team pumped to play better. You better believe if these two squads see each other again the Rangers will be a little more fired up than they were last night, and I’m sure Torts will use the Stepan incident to make sure of it. With that being said, get ready to open up that wallet, coach, cause it’s fine time, baby.
The NHL playoffs start next Wednesday, but we won’t know the Rangers’ first round opponent until Saturday’s season finales. With Buffalo’s loss to Philly last night eliminating them from contention, the possibles now include Washington, Ottawa, and (please God make this happen) Florida. So here’s the dilemma – do you phone in the last game of the season against the Caps hoping that Carolina can beat the Panthers in regulation or do you play 110% for the win (and President’s trophy) against the team you’ve now ensured you’ll face first in order to enter the playoffs as hot as possible? Fuck first in the league, I’m going with the former. Just ask the Devils fans who have been praying for status quo standings since the 3-6 matchup started reading Florida v New Jersey – nothing is more appetizing than a conference quarterfinals series against the Panthers, who if everything plays out right will be entering the playoffs 2-4-5 in their last 11. Anyone who doesn’t prefer that to facing Washington (who may be having goalie issues but can explode at any time) or Ottawa (who’s had the Rangers’ number all year long), is just asking for a first round collapse. So I guess I’m going to spend the final day of the regular season rooting against the Rangers and for the Hurricanes. Wow, what a difference a year can make… @Osgood_StoolNYC
Tortorella is the Sidney Crosby of coaches, all this guy does is whine
I’d rather not see Ovi but don’t sweat the Caps. Vokoun’s their only capable goalie and he’s banged up. If the Caps somehow put 3 or 4 a game on Hank, which isn’t gonna happen, it still won’t be enough with Neuvirth/Holtby in goal.
Even as a Bruins fan, I fucking love Torts. AdrockD, what did he say that was incorrect? This wasn’t whining, it was a coach standing up for his players and pointing out what a bunch of pussy hypocrites the Penguins have become. This entire rant was spot on.
Teams I fucking Hate (in order)
1. Vancouver 2. Montreal 3. Pittsburgh
All 3 of these teams are fucking whining pussyass nobodies that will cheap shot you to the death but then cry bloody murder the second you hit them back. I’m seeing red as I write this.
Funny how the Penguins are the most physical and talented team in the NHL and everyone is jealous and scared of them.
Pens are far from being the most physical team in the NHL. There are PeeWee teams more physical than they are.
bmace Pittsburghs the most physical team in the NHL? Funny how the Rangers have 65 fighting majors and the Penguins have 30… Pittsburgh will cheap shot players up and down the ice, but they’ll always also pussy out of a fight. Not exactly what I call physical.
Funny how the Philly is absolutely going to try to murder Malkin or Crosby to set the tone. I hate both teams, but I’m hoping they end of those two’s playoff runs.
Let Philly and Pitt bang each other up. It’s going to be brutal and all Rangers fans will be watching.
^exactly what I was thinking. Bruins love for Torts. Tortorella is fucking awesome.
Pens are gutless hypocrites, fuck em
My wet dream is Malkin laid out unconscious on the ice.
torts is a fucking crybaby. shut your fuckin mouth..you lost the game you fuckin douchebag. i hope the rangers get bounced in the first round.
The Pens and their fans are the worst. Entitled, arrogant, and ignorant. Last year the Isles stood up and beat the piss out of the Pens cuz of a dirty Talbot hit and everyone called the Isles goons. Now other teams in the league are getting sick of the Pens shit
I will literally root for any team to beat the Pens, that includes the Flyers. Using that statement I could hear my grandfather kicking me in the nuts from his grave and my father on his way to my house to knock my teeth out. Thats the truth though.
people still watch hockey?
Notloserville continues his streak of failure. He’s not allowed to point out a disgusting cheap shot and the hypocrisy of the Penguins playing style because his team lost? Asinine.
1) Torts is real talk
2) LA/Philly in the most beautiful cup ever…make it happen…now
3) Will I am – yes
The caps don’t scare me. Vokoun is banged up, and Nuevirth got hurt last night too. They can score, but they haven’t really been doing so under Dale Hunter. I’ll take the Panthers over the Caps, but definitely don’t want to see the Senators.
stro there’s a lot of unconscious people in your comments. I’d be scared for my asshole if I passed out in the same house as you.
Pens actually do their hitting on the ice, during the whistle, legally. Unlike Philly. Can’t wait for that series.
i thought people only watched hockey during the playoff, and only if there team was in it, weird, go bruins bitches, i dont follow them but pretty sure they are in the playoffs right?
#lifelongB’sfanbaby
I hope Philly concusses Crosby and ends his career. Fucking whiny bitch!!!
hypocrite much? tortorella whines EVERY single game.
