Congratulations, Torts

A quick moment taken away from roster calculations to congratulate John Tortorella on being named one of the two assistant coaches for the 2010 U.S. Olympic men's ice hockey team. Way to go, Torts! In tribute, I'll share what came out of his mouth at camp today (everything that comes out of his mouth is good news for us): "As far as the lines are concerned, as far as the makeup of our team, from Scott Gomez right on down, the only guy I know is gonna be there is Hank. He's gonna be our starting goalie. But other than that, it's wide open. And I'm not afraid of youth. It's going to be done on merit."
