Granted, brooks is a HORRIBLE hockey analyst and his articles are pretty embarrassing, but for the coach of an NHL team to try to bully and make vague threats to a member of the media is beyond pathetic. I wish this guy would just go away. I can't even imagine how much I would hate to play for this guy. The rangers think the got the new Mike Keenan who was going to push all of the right buttons this year. I love seeing them toil in mediocrity after being a cup favorite out of the east and this moron has to answer questions about it after every game. Warms my heart.

Q: A lot has been written about your above-standard relationship with coach John Tortorella. Are you two really that close?
A: I guess yes, because if it weren't for John I might not have been even playing hockey by now.
Q: And two years ago you actually had some conflicts with this coach. You even said on TV that he, freely translated, could shove your goals somewhere.
A: People remember only the bad, what the newspapers reported. But few people know who Tortsy is off the ice. We know each other not just like a player and a coach, but mainly as people. And that now and then we have some hockey-related conflicts, well, stuff happens. When I lost my job, we wrote and called one another, even our families visit each other. And we of course talk hockey, but other things as well.
Q: When Tom Renney coached the Rangers, Jagr and the other praised his player-friendly approach. But Tortorella isn't such a democrat, is he?
A: That's something different. In his private life he is a different person than in the arena. The fans often see how furious he is on the bench, but they don't know how good a person he is off the ice. He does have two faces.
Q: Do you feel obligated to him?
A: I don't have it easier here because of him. To the contrary. He put a word for me here and in this regard I am under more pressure. I want to repay him so that nobody beats him in the head {kicks his butt} one of those days because he took me here.
