Game Preview #71 - Mr. 1,000

John Tortorella becomes the first American-born coach to coach 1,000 NHL games. Hopefully he's not run over by the newly-fired-up TANK.

It's almost fitting. After weeks of lineup continuity save for the injuries, in what will be his milestone 1,000th game behind an NHL bench, John Tortorella fired the Line BlenderTM up in full force.

(Scroll down and look at those defense pairings. I'll wait for you to flush the puke down the toilet.)

At any rate, there are some interesting doings. Curtis McElhinney is apparently done for the year with a new knee injury.
