They beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, at the time the #1 ranked team by a preposterous 7-1.

Tortorella, is both being optimist but tempering his expectations going forward, “It’s not about the team we’re playing, it’s about us.” He said, “Three days off, Christmas is over, the leagues’ going to get better, players are going to get better.”

He went saying they just need to stay the course, doing what they’ve been doing well (score) and then doing it better.
