Why him and not Gorton and JD if it has nothing to do with Wilson or the press release?

For no other reason than we need a body behind the bench, even if it is a dead one. No way he lasts, and I’m sure his status as coach was a hot button issue when things erupted over the last 48 hours.
 
I disagree. If Geertsen had been in the lineup, I bet most of the skill guys would have deferred the rough stuff to him. I actually think it's good that our "tough" guys are all out for this game. Even with three Geertsen's, the Rangers were never going to out-fight the Caps. The teams are built in entirely different ways. By forcing the skill guys to get a little dirt under their fingernails, hopefully it will show them that they can do that when need be down the line (when we do have Troubs, Lindgren, Kreider, Schneider, Cuylle, etc) in the lineup. This is a fight the skill guys can't really win, but it's a fight that can help the team moving forward.

Thats fine and I understand that. But we have no one to match Wilson. Geertsen’s job would’ve been to fight Wilson his first shift, 2nd shift, 3rd shift, etc. until the game was over.
 
For all his awkwardness, you have to appreciate Pierre’s memory and knowledge of hockey history. I actually like him when he doesn’t go into contrived coincidences.
 
What did he say?

What Dreger said: Sources tell me the firing of Jeff Gorton and John Davidson had nothing to do with the statement released by the Rangers.

What Dreger meant: James Dolan told me to tell everyone the statement had nothing to do with the firings and I am going to do so like an obedient little puppy.

Do you really need to when you see the team that you own being not difficult to play against and being pushovers who let their goalies get run consistently?

It's in the middle of a rebuild... There would be no problem if the NHL did it's job.
