Confirmed with Link: NYR Fire John Davidson and Jeff Gorton

[mas0764]

This definitely has the makings of behind the scenes drama.

I'm not saying everything is related but too much crazy shit went on this year.

DeAngelo's breakdown with the rest of the team, Panarin being gone for weeks, now this f***ing Tom Wilson debacle, and of course, lets not forget that our first and second overall picks tremendously underwhelmed.

I was 100% in Gorton's corner and I am shocked, disappointed and disapproving of this move, but I'm super, SUPER interested in hearing why the hell this happened, because there just has to be more to it.

 

[NYR94]

Gorton shouldn't be unemployed for long. Sabres, Ducks, Canucks among a bunch of teams who could really use a new GM.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Holy f***ing shit.

WTF. I'm absolutely flabbergasted.

 

[Ruggs225]

Revenge of the fifth. It happened.

 

[bleedblue94]

WTF? so some dumb college kid intern posted it without the team's consent I'm assuming. lmfao

Friedman reported the statement was from dolan. so jd and gorts didnt back their owner/boss and he got pissed and axed them.

Now we are going to turn into the f***ing Knicks with dolan trying to manage everything...

 

[IDvsEGO]

This screams of a temper tantrum at the top.

I mean this absolutely screams Dolan. But my question is if we underperformed that means you blame the coach.
Why is Quinn here but jd and gorton gone?
This also feels like a massive distraction from the post yesterday.
How many gms of Gortons caliber are gonna want to come in here now?

 

[Trueblue30]

This screams of a temper tantrum at the top.

but the top is Dolan. And he doesn’t care about hockey especially when the knicks are good. I don’t know why he would want negative press back on him

and now we go to a live look at David Quinn

After tonight's loss the post headline will read:

GM and Acting President Chris Drury says: "We're not going to let this loss ruin our weekend."

 

[17futurecap]

Assistant GM Chris Drury is believed to be the leading candidate to fill the post of GM while Dolan conducts a hunt for a president that is expected to have Mark Messier at the top of the wish list.

Rangers fire John Davidson, Jeff Gorton in shocking move

 

[Chaels Arms]

Henrik Lundqvist has been away from this franchise for one season and the entire thing collapses.

 

[Profet]

JD has been on the payroll for 1 year. This has absolutely nothing to do with performance, because there hasn't been enough of a track record for that to factor in.

 

[mas0764]

This screams of a temper tantrum at the top.

At this point I do not believe it's not statement related.

 

[17futurecap]

Honestly happy for Sam that he doesn’t have to call this shit show tonight.

 

[rangers1314]

What an embarrassing day to be a fan of this franchise.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I assume DQ is on the shortest of leashes now.

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

Wow!!!! Did not see this coming. Well deserved!

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I think I’m done.

Literally not surprising at all.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

WHAAT?!

I am completely f***ing shocked. This is not a good move. Dolan strikes

 

[Mandar]

This screams of a temper tantrum at the top.

are you hearing anything?

 

[Edge]

At this point I do not believe it's not statement related.

“Blindsided” “utter chaos right now” “in the dark”

These are the early responses I am getting.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

My favorite part is how Quinn is still here. LMAO!

Quinn outlasting Gorton and JD is not something I would've ever predicted.

f***ing Dolan.

 

[Anthony5967]

Wouldn’t put it past Panarin being significantly injured to a point where he went to ownership and displayed his disappointment and the fact that the FO’s off-season moves consisted of adding no grit or will and decided to distance themselves from a statement that was well written is a joke. Nice to know the President and GM didn’t have the superstar’s back. Dolan did the right thing. His reputation will have people ripping him though.

 

[broadwayblue]

This is terrible. Did anyone really expect a different outcome this season?
