Mess "Unfortunate the Rangers had no one to answer the bell." "They still don't have that player."

"Rangers aren't built that way."

Its like Game of Thrones...On the firing of these guys

"Tell'em it was ME!" - George Parros

This is definitely the Red Letter

 

[I Eat Crow]

No one should be surprised. We’ve been a soap opera for two years now. Lot of embarrassing things going on. Lack of leadership. Joke of a coach messing with our top prospects.

no one should be surprised.

I do think jailed Robert may be onto something here. JD got wind that Dolan was going to drop the axe on Gorton at the end of the season because of what you have been saying. JD, furious with this, calls up Dolan and says if he goes than I go. Dolan then proceeds to say ok, and drops the hammer.

This is the only plausible explanation if not at all related to anything over the course of the past 48 hours.

So my good friend apparently has a coworker that "knows a guy that knows a guy" that's friends with the dad of a prominent Rangers player (if a mod needs a name I'll message you who the player is). My friend is very reliable, I don't know about the others to be honest. But this is what he said he was told:

Apparently there is a lot of locker room stuff going on. Some stemming from the tony d situation. Room not in good shape, JD and Gorton had no idea about the statement.

Apparently it is said dolan wanted to fire gorton and JD stepped in.

 

[SRHRangers]

Messier is slurping Wilson.

Wtf is going on?

 

[RangerLifer]

The fact that the nhl was silent the entire time after the statement has me feeling that Bettman just went Michael Corleone here and settled all family business.

I don't think so. If there were the case then Drury would be gone too.

 

[bleedblue94]

for now. but I’m sure they’ll want a separate man to be President of the team.

you dont name a president just to relieve him of the duty in a couple months. they could've just promoted him to gm and intern pres but it was reported he was named gm and pres. I am going off the reports and not speculation.

 

[Atax]

I really don't want Messier running this ship after listening to this interview.

WHAT???

 

[bl02]

I hope we get the full story. I am not a Dolan fan like many on here but it seems like he's stayed out of Ranger business in a good way in the recent past.
WTF happened? Did the big three have a huge argument where JD ripped Dolan or the other way around?
I can't believe (even if the team slightly underachieved) that was the reason Dolan fired them. There has to be more drama behind this. Why not wait until the end of the year? how is the coach still employed?

 

[Tob]

Remember when the Lightning were ran by the Yakuza? I wish we were ran by the Yakuza.

 

[DialUp]

Oh god Messier is interviewing the job on Kay right now. Clowntown. Kakko and Laf and 3 1sts for Tkachuk but by accident they get the wrong one somehow.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

And how on earth is Quinn still the coach?

that’s the first thing you change, not the GM and president for gods sake

 

[nsvoyageurs]

Holy f***ing shit.

What the bleep?

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

This entire situation is 100% proof that we are indeed living in a simulation. There is no way what has unfolded this season would unfold in an organic reality.

 

[RangerLifer]

I really don't want Messier running this ship after listening to this interview.

What interview??

 

[Chaels Arms]

I wouldn't have built a team that didn't have answers in this regard (re Wilson). - Messier

 

[17futurecap]

Mess is absolutely destroying the makeup of the team.

 

[bleedblue94]

Messier just said he hasnt had contact with anyone around the team in a few years. He is on the show booked awhile ago promoting a new business venture, so everyone calm down at this point.

welcome to george tkachuk in advance

 

[smoneil]

hahahahahaahahaha i spit out my drink.

Carp responded to ask if he (Parros) was going to wear "his red nose and floppy shoes" hahaha. I just can't even with this whole season.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Do you realize that some of the comments that’s he been reported to make include people of different backgrounds.

You do realize that if you knew this person in real life, there’s a pretty good possibility you’d be on the receiving end of the comments right?

He’s not your friend. And from all reports, especially what’s come out when looking into his suspected social media interactions, he wouldn’t be if you met join.

Think about that long and hard for a bit.

Don't want to go too off-topic here, but what comments? Are you talking about the comment he made to one of his teammates on his entirely White junior team when he was a child? Or something recent?

I never claimed to be his friend what social media interactions are you referring to? If you look through his Instagram comments you'll see he's still friends with pretty much every Black player he's ever played with (Anthony Duclair, Josh Ho-Sang, Justin Bailey, Seth & Caleb Jones) they comment joking around on each others posts. By all accounts until this Georgiev incident he was reportedly very well liked by teammates? Biz & Whit asked around as well and said that everyone they've talked to who's played with him said they loved the guy

 

[Tob]

Chris Drury needs to f***ing hold the line right now. Literally start calling Guatemala with every available phone line in the organization so we don't make a stupid f***ing trade.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

thank jesus

seems to corroborate with what dreger heard.

the locker room has been a f***ing mess. the team has no spine and a total lack of leadership from the top down. I can sympathize why dolan would want to fire gorton with some of the choices he’s made. at the same time, gorton made some good moves. but the locker room is in shambles despite all the talent we have. we may be a uniter. Laf may be that guy at some point, but he isn’t now. we need some vereran leadership.

I pray we don’t overreact over the summer.
