Speculation: Rangers Head Coach Search (Laviolette being finalized? According to Vince and Friedman)

[Mandar]

Andrew Tate - Psychological trainer

Rather have Terry Tate.....Office Linebacker....

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I don't know why Renney gets so much shit on these boards - not a great coach but we have had WAY worse. Muckler immediately leaps to mind.

I dont know, I have him ranked pretty low on my list. Thought he was an awful coach who only seemed decent because he got a couple years of beastmode Jagr and Lundqvist.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Is he going to get through to Panarin & Zibanejad? That's my concern. They already killed 2 coaches and idk if Drury would or should take the risk with a rookie HC.

why do they have to get through to panarin or zips. This is aebout getting through to the entire team, progressing the young guns, and playing as a 5 man unit With a modern day system.

uf everyone else buys in and bread and zips don’t that’s on them. Jay Leach has earned his AC job in Seattle and a possible head coaching job. It’s about take the team in the right direction if those two don’t then they won’t fit and ask for a trade out which is what we all want anyway.

Tom Renney was a fine coach: he restored stability and responsibility to at team that had not made the playoffs for seven years. Coming out of the lockout there really were no expectations that the team would make the playoffs...but they did. He served the team well until, like most, eventually it was time for a change and the Ranger management thought they needed a different type of coach to take them to another level. He was the perfect type of coach for that team, at that time, at that place.

Sounds like Hynes could give Trottier a run for his money.

Yea, thanks to a 123 point season from Jagr lol. He carried that team on his back and for the first time in almost a decade we got good goaltending again from Lundqvist.

He knows calligraphy?

 

[zlev]

how about a coaching staff of Trottier, Potvin and Butch Goring

they know how to win...

 

[Mac n Gs]

No idea but didn't someone sign him?

Yes, he’s going to be Nashville’s coach. Elliotte Friedman mentioned 4 teams that interviewed him, none of which were the Rangers. So it’s possible that we never had the chance to speak with him

Having dynamic ability definitely adds wrinkles to an attack, but there's no substitute for teamplay/puck movement as a unit.

The great news.... We're just terrible all around in that regard. Only way is up

I love what Seattle does in moving the puck.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

I might stop watching until this loser gets fired. Arrest Drury too.

This should be f***ing illegal.

Drury has me begging for Lavi at this point, what the hell.

 

[LOFIN]

 

[Ruggs225]

Well i think we can all officially agree that Drury is a horrible GM.

In 2 years this will all be over hopefully

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Drury heard people complaining about hiring Laviolette and said “watch this”

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

No more f***ing retreads. Hire an up and coming coach with a legit system.

 

[17futurecap]

Send Drury to The Hague.

 

[Bob Richards]

Everyone wishing the Laviolette rumor wasn’t true just for the monkey paw to curl this hard would be amazing lol

 

[zlev]

lmfao

 

[NYRKING30]

Who cares who’s hired, the whole board is going to hate whoever it is 15 games into the season.

That would be better than hating him 15 seconds into his hiring

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That would be better than hating him 15 seconds into his hiring

Or 15 days before his hiring.

 

[Leonardo87]

@EdJovanovski if you make a new thread, you’re fired, lol

 

[will1066]

If there's one thing I've learned about HFNYR's opinions about a head coach, if everyone's booing John Hynes now, he'll lead the team to a Cup.

 

[NYRKING30]

That would be better than hating him 15 seconds into his hiring

Will be plenty of those as well.
