Rangers have lost 13 out of their last 17 games. What would you do if you were Dolan (the owner of the team) or Drury (the GM)?

[Trxjw]

It's time for a coaching change for sure.

It's time for an everything change. The coaching staff is crap but this group of players doesn't deserve a shot with another coach. That would be their 4th coach in as many years.

This org needs an enema.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Feel like you gotta fire Drury before you fire the coach. Jesus Christ what a diaster season for them. This teams season deserves a espn or Amazon documentary

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

They’re legitimately the worst team in the league, for a while now - their self destruction is wild

Sabres exist.

 

[dirtydanglez]

they look like they are well on their way to another loss. already a few minutes into the 3rd and only 9 shots so far this game.

 

[BallardEra]

5-0 final today.

I think think he coached his last game for the Rangers.

 

[eojsmada]

One would think, but like Detroit....who do you replace him with?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

He's doing his job. He's trying to show ownership that the team was a fraud last year.

 

[PWiz30]

It's going to be an awkward Christmas at the Laviolette household.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

He’ll take the fall for Drury who will desperately try to protect his job. It’s everyone’s fault but his.

Yeah, you don't win a presidents trophy and get to game 6 in the ECF if you're a fraud. They were never a fraud.

Were they slightly over-reliant on goaltending? Absolutely. They were never a fraud.

 

[2CHAINZ]

I thought for sure the Rempe elbow was going to spark the team to turn it around

 

[Roman Yoshi]

I'm not convinced the team has given up on Lavi as much as they have given up on Drury and on the owner. Really unique situation

 

[BHD]

Not much a coach can do in this situation. Their big guys are cooked and the rest of the team stinks.

President's Trophy doesn't really mean a whole lot nowadays. They were lucky to get to six against that Panthers team.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

This core has had enough coaches.

 

[Mobiandi]

Does it matter?

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

President's Trophy doesn't really mean a whole lot nowadays. They were lucky to get to six against that Panthers team.

Not really.

The Panthers outplay literally everyone at 5v5. They did the same to Edmonton before they took their foot off the gas.

Rangers hung in there with them.

To answer the OP:

No, I don't think he's gone. Because he would've been gone already if that were the case.

Best case scenario for them is to keep losing with him behind the bench since he obviously has no answers to get this team to play better.

He's absolutely gone at the end of the year, though.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

He's gotta be and it might be the end of the line. *

* What am I kidding, he'll get another gig

 

[TheNumber4]

They should promote their AHL coach. Heard he’s a defensive genius and can turn floundering seasons around at a drop of hat.

Oh wait.

 

[GreeningOil]

NYR only had 12 shots in the game too???

They aren’t that trash! They’ve got some demons

Oh wait.

They can get Woofcroft!

 

[banks]

The GM is clearly adamant that the players are the ones at fault. And based on the healthy scratching of Kakko and Krieder, the coach feels the same.

So if they're on the same page, he won't be fired. But we could see some more trade/roster shenanigans from Drury. (which would be a mistake)

 

[Casey Jones]

I thought for sure the Rempe elbow was going to spark the team to turn it around

If it was a double elbow to the face, I think that would have sparked them.

 

[Devilsfan118]

I don't think it solves their problems but holy shit they've gotta change something ASAP.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

12 shots is absolutely insane. The locker room must be absolutely f***ed at this point cause they are better than that. It’s not like a Carolina situation where they lost a lot of key guys to free agency.

Oh it’s totally broken. Thanks Drury
