we blow 2 leads to a pretty weak team and lose in OT. This team will not learn how to hold on to a lead with this clown coach.
 
There is a 0.0% chance Panarin, Zib, Kreider and Fox will play Trotz hockey. They already got Quinn fired and he let them run the show.

Hire him for the gong show and subsequent team quitting in 20 games. Miller would probably look better?

If Quinn couldn't get a young presumably coachable team to play N/S hockey despite publicly and privately begging for it for years I don't know what possesses people to think any coach will be listened to..the top players on 8 year contracts, that's security, baby.
Not to mention, if you want to be even more disappointed at the development of our kids, then hire Trotz. I’m not willing to further crush their development for a few years of 1st and 2nd rd PO exits playing boring hockey.

When the msg studio analysis is blasting the team in the manner he is (subtle but directly telling) should be exceptionally eye opening to anyone not thinking this is a bad bad situation right now.
That’s because they are slow. Team full of playmakers with no one with foot speed to give them space. Create cap, find speed. It’s just going to take some uncomfortable decisions to create that cap.

If you thought the Rangers were winning tonight after giving up yet another last minute goal with 48 seconds left with the other team having momentum going into OT, while the Giroux goal was waived, and the Motte goal was waived, then you were kidding yourself. These are the Hockey Gods making a direct example out of the Rangers.

I know what the issues are with the team, I was harping on it from the start of the year. I am commenting that when msg own staff is starting to be this hard there is no hiding it anymore...
 
If there was a mid-season coaching change it would probably be promoting Kris Knoblouch to NHL head coach. KK was massively succesful in OHL and WHL. Hartford teams have been mixed but the roster is very much depleted so hardly his fault. It makes sense because it wouldn't be an entire systems change.
Good bio on him here: Kris Knoblauch Bio | Hartford Wolf Pack

I wrote in the GDT the biggest fish would be Andrew Brunette, he lead the Panthers to Presidents' trophy and now works as Associate Coach @ NJD. I doubt we get permission to talk to him though. Wish we got him this summer
