Tuesdays with Dani: Feaster quotes on Tortorella are gold
During the Rangers' Western Canada swing, John Tortorella made me remember why I miss him as a coach. His sound bites can be a gift. Tortorella had a 16 second postgame press conference after the loss to the Oilers. It consisted with him saying "We sucked from head to toe." And Torts was not the...

Taking a break from my attacks on Lightning management, I'll redirect my efforts now toward the city of St. Petersburg, Florida. Previously known as "God's Waiting Room" (just had to dust that one off), St. Petersburg has turned into a happening place over the last decade. Nightlife thrives,...
Showboating
