I feel like it’s easy money that Mike Sullivan will be the head coach there next year. I’ve been calling Sullivan to the Rangers since last year.

They’ll probably need to at least lose in the cup finals for Lavi and probably even Drury to survive and get to come back for another season.

That's a lot of coaches in a short time frame for the Rags if they fire Lavi this year

They always go for the biggest name available.

I went over this after they fired Gallant and I forget what it came out to be, but the last time they had a head coach who wasn't very tenured, other than David Quinn when they were supposed to be rebuilding, I think it was Bryan Trottier way back in 2002. And he didn't even last the whole season.

Renney, Torts, AV, Gallant were all big names when the Rangers hired them. Same with Keenan and a couple of the guys they had in between Keenan and Trottier. Torts was interim head coach there for like a minute in 2000 after they fired I forgot who. Before he took the job in Tampa a year or so later. That's often forgotten about because no one really knew who Torts was back then and I think it was only for like 10 games or something.

They rarely have a rookie head coach or even an experienced but nobody/no name head coach. I don't think they hardly do at all when they're actually actively competing. Just Quinn a few years back when they announced they were blowing it up and rebuilding.

I'm not sure I see Drury outliving Lavi, I think he may also be a goner if they don't win the cup or at least the conference this year.

That's probably why they're supposedly in such a panic right now, wanting to get rid of big names in the middle of the season and do a mid-season shake up.

Speaking of coaches on the hot seat, old school
Lou would be pulling the trigger on Roy. But he probably doesn’t have the power of old school Lou.
More he doesn’t have the cache of old school Lou…when he was GM’ing a Cup contender people would put up with his trigger finger but they aren’t doing it when he’s GM’ing a mediocre team.

It was Muckler that Torts originally replaced on an interim. Then Sather came in as GM and hired Ron Low, who was fired for Trottier who was fired for Sather himself before Renney was hired full time at the end of 2004.

Ah, yes. John Muckler and Ron Low. Both were guys they hired through the Edmonton/NYR exchange program. Muckler was a well established head coach and was the head coach for the last Edmonton cup after Gretzky left and Sather stopped being head coach and just stayed GM.

Low was a little less established and never made it past the second round in Edmonton.

And Renney did it in reverse. He went to Edmonton AFTER he was head coach of the Rangers.

I also don't think even he fired 3 coaches in the space of 30 months. Maybe pre-Lemaire that happened - Schoenfeld to Brooks - but that's just a completely different time in the NHL.

Holy shit the Canucks had literally ZERO shots from the slot and ONE shot from the net front all game and won. Their one shot from the net front was their one goal outside the ENG
