Confirmed with Link: NYR Fire John Davidson and Jeff Gorton

[EdJovanovski]

Your defending of him is bordering on creepy,dude.

Not as creepy as the amount of hatred some people have for a person they've never met.

 

[17futurecap]

The thing that doesn't make sense is why the f*** is Quinn still here?

I'm honestly surprised he didn't and Drury just let Knoblauch finish the season.

 

[RangerLifer]

Got a link to it? I don't mind being mad.

Listen to The Michael Kay Show on 98.7 FM ESPN New York on TuneIn

 

[Fitzy]

Wait we fire John Davidson, basically one of the most beloved figures in team history, and all half of you want to do is talk about Tony f***ing DeAngelo?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Messier is such a degenerate. He doesn't belong anywhere near this team.

 

[Bruner4329]

Where were these Anti-Asian comments made? This is my first time hearing about it lol, never seen any comment about homosexuals or blacks either. Where were those? The remark when he was a kid was about a European teammate being a soft Euro. I am Hispanic btw

If you spend 30 seconds checking the replies on Twitter or Reddit to any post about DeAngelo you'll see the politically motivated backlash, which I'm sure is why teams are afraid of touching him in this current climate.

Meh, if there's a place for Tom Wilson in the NHL I think there sure as hell should be one for Tony DeAngelo

Wilson may be a dirty player to every other team in the league but he plays hard and has some skills and is respected by his team mates. TDA never really earned squat and came across as a A Hole period and more importantly lost the respect of his team mates for his clown antics. Sorry as much as I despise Wilson, TDA to me would not be welcome on my team... and it seems the rest of the league feels the same way which is why he is sitting at home doing nothing all season.

Today Dolan is what the kids call "big mad"

 

[Anthony5967]

Drury was probably a spy on that bench and reporting and seeing actually behind the scenes in the locker room how things were going and maybe went back to management and Dolan and saw some stuff he didn’t like going on this year too. Not a secret this year was a mess on so many levels.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

This to me is entirely about the makeup of the team and its embarrassing games against the isles and caps and their inability to push back against any kind of physical pressure.

"Please, I can't continue signing sticks and claiming they were game used. This fraud is going to catch up to me. I also was scammed into buying "bite" coin thinking it was the dog thing, I don't know man, Elon whatever. I need this fcking job bad." - sincerly, Mark Messier

The only one talking about him is his biggest fan boy

 

[Kane One]

The thing that doesn't make sense is why the f*** is Quinn still here?

I’m waiting for the announcement of the firing of the entire janitorial staff for the Rangers poor play throughout the season, rather than Quinn’s firing.

 

[Uncle Sid]

Soooo is the rebuild still a thing or...

 

[Cmox]

Man, I really like what JD was doing. I’m pretty heartbroken honestly and a lot of that heartbrokenness definitely has to do with child me but regardless they were going in the right direction. Again I’d love to be a fly at the msg offices. Cursed season

 

[2Leetch_94]

Chris Drury bringing the Cup back to New York, just the way I envisioned it on July 1st, 2007.

And if he doesn't, he won't let it ruin his weekends.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Here’s your comic relief for the day

 

[haveandare]

I'm not a fan of the firings but if he was the one that put out the statement while the JD and Gorton tried to walk it back, that's a really bad look on JD and Gorton.

Lol firing your GM and president over Tom Wilson is an infinitely worse look. We took him being a moron and dismantled the front office over it... there is no worse response that I can possibly even imagine

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

You have the building blocks of a team that can be a powerhouse that you very much lucked into. You cannot continue to let a rudderless group mold these kids. I’ve said it all year this is not ok. You better put these kids in positions to succeed. That should have been priority number one this year and it wasn’t. No one not named Adam Fox or Artemi Panarin is living up to expectations changes needed to be made.

I don’t really disagree with much of this.

problem is, the person most responsible for this happening is still here.

 

[Peltz]

This is about over a year of stuff not going the way Dolan wanted. Lundqvist buyout, likely the hiring and non-firing of a college coach the same way we rag on Quinn. The Tony D exodus. The vaginal team identity. Dolan is all the chaos we are on a nightly basis except he's the owner. We're going to commit to winning now and we're going to get bigger once the emotions cool off and Drury hopefully takes control.

Hey... vaginas are strong organs. We don't need to use vagina in a pejorative sense. Thanks.

Today Dolan is what the kids call "big mad"

"No Cap!" - Bill Pidto

 

[Webster]

• Re-signing Kreider
• Trading and giving big contract to Trouba who has been underwhelming while Pionk and Heinola have looked very good
• Trading up for Schneider who most people seemed to dislike the pick at first (and many still don't like it)
• DeAngelo situation

Take away winning the lottery twice in a row and getting Kakko and Lafreniere, has Gorton really done that great of a job?

Trading Zuccarello who's having the best season of his career this year, on pace for 70+ points. And Gorton let him go for basically nothing, a gamble deal that failed. I think Zucc would've been better value for the Trouba money, Dolan would probably agree...

it's not over wilson. It's over Gorton not obeying orders and not doing things Dolan wanted in the last calendar year and JD not obeying orders and doing Dolan's bidding and falling on the sword with Gorton imo.

 

[poeman]

Balls? Maybe....Brains? No.

Having money and just firing people out of spite isnt balls. He lacks the balls to really stay the f*** out of the way

 

[Chimpradamus]

I leave you kids alone to get some sleep and this is what I wake up to? WTF is going on?

What? Oh, nothing. Just the NYR franchise doing NYR things, with the very rich mongrel Dolan at the helm, with the timing of snot... nothing out of the ordinary.

Having money and just firing people out of spite isnt balls. He lacks the balls to really stay the f*** out of the way

All he is proving is you can be a terrible businessman and a complete moron and still be very rich. At least he has an ego the size of fifteen football fields. He just wants to show everyone there's hope. Any idiot can win the money lottery, especially by birth.
