08:25 AM ET 08.31 | Hockey coaches hope for short offseasons, so pardon John Tortorella for wanting to get things moving. Completing a respite at his Wisconsin vacation home, the coach has reason to be optimistic and it's not only because Rick Nash will be joining the Siege Mortar Squadron. "We're ready," Tortorella told me, sounding very much like he'd like to open camp in about two seconds. "Camp is set for the 21st (of September) and I'm enthused." ... "Granted we lost some size and hardness when Duby (Brandon Dubinsky) and Prusty (Brandon Prust) left, but we've made up for that with our additions ( Arron Asham, Taylor Pyatt, Jeff Halpern, Micheal Haley.) With these guys we're going to play a hard, straight-ahead game."

Nice to see "Three fingers Torts" again
Wherein the name of all that is good and decent did these jack-wagons get "Siege Mortar Squadron"?
it sounds like the subtitle to "The Expendables" or something....really, who writes this tripe?

I'll take your word for it but, a game plan might be a bit premature at this point.

Word has it he was at his hunting cabin with his pal (was really pulling for the Rangers to keep going in the playoffs, cuz I missed this):
Pal: John, you think we'll see some deer today?
Torts: I'm not getting into details.
Pal: (Wary look. Walk a little further) Hey John, you got that the safety on that thing? Cuz you're kinda pointing it at me.
Torts: Come on, I'm not going to talk strategy.
Pal: Listen, would you just...
(Boom!)
Pal: Awwwrhgwwww!!! You shot me!!! You shot me right in the leg!!!
Torts: You know I don't discuss injuries.
Pal: Awww!!! I told you to put that safety on!!
Torts: We done here?
Pal: Don't you leave me!! Get back here!! You dick!!!

These things tend to come back and bite people in the hoozits, so if the Rangers don't play up to expectations we could have some fun ;)

We could start now.
With the excitement level of Ranger games they should be called the "Biege Mortar Squadron."
Canuck eh?
