LUNDQVIST DENIES BEING BEHIND COACH TORTORELLA'S FIRING

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

With the New York Rangers set to introduce Alain Vigneault as their new bench boss on Friday, their star goaltender cleared the air on speculation that he had a hand in the dismissal of now-former head coach John Tortorella.
"I know there is some speculation regarding Torts being fired, but let's be clear on one thing," Lundqvist told Larry Brooks of the New York Post via an e-mail on Wednesday. "It's not my call who the coach should be for the New York Rangers.
"I would never put pressure on the management on decisions like that. I'm just a player. My focus is to play the game and do the best I can on the ice. Whatever [happens] off the ice, I leave to our great staff we have working for this club."

I'm curious to see how many shots Lundqvist will take this coming season. Torts' system was all about the blocking game, and now that's gone.. we'll see.
 
There were a ton of rumors about Lundqvist and all this Torts firing.
