The Rangers have brought in the antithesis of Tom Renney as their next coach and that may be a very good thing. Technically, the hiring of John Tortorella is a re-hiring since Tortorella stood behind the Blueshirt bench for four games at the end of the 1999-2000 season, but Tortorella comes back to the organization with a much better resume than when he left. He took the Tampa Bay Lightning from the cellar to the penthouse, winning the Stanley Cup in 2004. He is a hard-ass coach, demanding accountability from his players and does not put up with excuses. It will be very interesting to see how Tortorella mixes with some of the disappointing veterans on this club and if he can help Nikolai Zherdev to finally become a complete player.
