Question: Talking Points, Did you enjoy New York Rangers coach John Tortorella’s post-game performance on Wednesday?
Answer: No.
Q: But weren’t you impressed with the way he sapped the reporters’ will to ask questions, effectively limiting the opportunity to learn anything and ending the ordeal in 1 minute and 17 seconds?
A: We already answered that.
Q: If Tortorella had said anything meaningful — slamming either his own team or the Devils — wouldn’t the New York press have taken that and printed it, perhaps dooming the poor coach’s team to failure so close to the Stanley Cup finals?
A: We’re keeping that opinion in the newsroom.
Q: Will the hullabaloo over Torts’ non-press conference create enough buzz that fans actually start to figure out that the NHL playoffs are more compelling than the NBA’s?
A: We’re keeping that opinion in the newsroom.
Q: Who would you rather interview after a loss: Tortorella, or Chip Kelly?
Answer: We’ll keep that in the newsroom.
Q: As Rangers fans, how will you feel if Tortorella is fined by the NHL for his “performance.”
A: Just fine.
Q: Thought this was Talking Points? Why no talking?
A: What’s your point?
