Quote: Why There Was No Retaliation

By Adam Rotter on November 08, 2009, 10:40AM

Early last night, Chris Drury was blindsided by the Flames Curtis Glencross that has apparently left the Rangers Captain concussed.

The Rangers though, didn’t retaliate on Glencross:

“You can’t; you can’t,” Sean Avery, who was on the ice after opening on a line with Drury and Ryan Callahan, told The Post. “If the game had become lopsided, there’s no question something would have been done [to Glencross].

…Thats all well and  good Sean but the game didn’t get lopsided and even though, I think the best retaliation is winning, it didn’t end up that way and the Rangers don’t play Calgary again this season.

Highlights of last night’s loss are after the jump:

John Tortorella agreed with Avery’s sentiment:

“I think a lot of guys didn’t even see it. But we’re here to win the hockey game, that’s so early in the game.”

One player who did see it, was Marc Staal:

“I saw it and I thought it was a dirty hit,” Marc Staal told The Post. “Reds went cross-ice the other way, Dru wasn’t looking, and their guy hit him with an elbow right in the chin.

“It was brutal; just brutal; I don’t know what the refs were looking at. It should have been a major.”
