Gotta give it up, HF!

The man was mocked and ridiculed but he was right!

Ya'll came at me w/ pitchforks and all I did was deliver the best news of the season fam.

[FireGerardGallant]

lmao who made this

Real question is why is Buch at the aquarium at 11:36?

 

[hi]

Real question is why is Buch at the aquarium at 11:36?

He's researching tanks

It was a foregone conclusion, sanctioned by Dolan and ready to be executed by Gorton when the season ended.

He at least waited till they got back to New York and then informed him.

No reason to wait till after breakup day, etc. It was going to happen and I am glad they did it immediately.

Absolutely pumped not only to watch playoff hockey, but for the draft lottery results, the draft itself and the moves we make and eventually training camp.

This is going to be a new start for this team, and I really couldn't be more excited.

LETS GO RANGERS!!!

Team Tank and Playoff Pals merging back together now that the season is officially over. We can all be happy tonight

Here's the big thing that really gets me in the end

Every single year since he was hired, the Rangers would start the season and look like they had NO clue at all how to play whatever system AV wanted them to play. Complete lack of cohesion, no responsibility from any player, constant breakdowns all over the ice. I can certainly understand the first season (though I remember thinking and probably saying on here that whatever system AV was trying to run wasn't one that the Rangers could actually run), but to have it happen every single year...you'd think that the players would either be coached well enough or prepared well enough that they wouldn't have to spend 15-20 games remembering how to play hockey. That's not normal, and that's not good in this days NHL. You can't throw away a quarter of the season getting back up to speed because your coach can't prepare you well enough for the start of the season or is running some system that requires players to play a full quarter of the season before they start meshing with each other and figuring it out.

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Good riddance you f***ing bum
No more starting the season unprepared
No more starting each period unprepared
No more sitting young talent for over the hill vets
No more implementing a system that half the team isnt equipped to play
WHAT A DAY

How about the metal version in maid outfits! Lol

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

All Henrik has ever wanted is a chance. With a legitimate defensive system, Henrik will be happy to break his back and carry the team into the playoffs like just every other year.

I find it hilarious that someone with a Tobias Funke avatar is constantly making such great posts.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

If any of you guys are on twitter, I'd greatly appreciate a follow. Hard to get followers

Just followed you

 

[Alluckks]

And the other guy who had vetted info about it

I forget who it was

Hi. Yeah. I gave that info weeks ago. Don't care too much for credit, I would just drop it as a reminder the next time I get an inside thing from the same guy.

 

[Machinehead]

How about the metal version lol.

 

[Machinehead]

Hold on, I've waited so long for this.



Oh yeah

That's good

 

[Skip Bayless]

Just don't hire f***ing Michel Therrien

Should have been done after the Ottawa playoff series last year (AV literally lost that series by himself), but better late than never, I suppose.

AV had an EXCELLENT first year with the Rangers. Was some of the best coaching I had ever seen, I had practically zero complaints about him then. 2nd year was still great, but not quite as good. Went way downhill after that.

The diatribe began by simply stating his philosophy, noting “you have to coach the team you have in front of you.”

He also didn’t hesitate to mention that the Canucks have gone through three coaching staffs since he left, and have not made it out of the first round of the playoffs, missing this year for the third year in a row.

“I’ve gone through every facet, whether it be a young team whether it be an older team. Once we know the team, every year is the same thing,” Vigneault said. “We try to put in a system that maximizes their talent and their potential, and we try to mask and work on the areas we need improvement. That’s not going to change.”

 

[Mike in Houston]

Thank you for your service.

 

[Richard Banger]

Just don't hire ****ing Michel Therrien

Fire AV only to hire a worse version of him... I can see them doing that

 

[Zamboner]

It had to be done. Now don't screw up the replacement. Sometimes the replacement is even worse.
