why the hell did they wait all the way till after the memorial cup to make this announcement? stringing our hopes and emotions along like that.
You talking about Roy?
I have a feeling it was some stupid blogger, who was trying to generate clicks, because the position hasn't been filled yet, and Roy just finished, so someone made a really bad assumption.
Then the rangers beat came out and said nope.

My guess on this whole thing is its gonna be knoblauch, with maybe hynes as his defensive coach.
 
Just looking through Roy's career as a coach. He had a great first NHL season. Followed by two bad seasons.

But he has so much experience in the QMJHL. As an owner, GM, and coach. Two Memorial Cup Championships as coach coach/GM.

Would have to think he grew as a coach since Colorado.

It's an intriguing option. The track record of winning is there. Obviously in the Q he's got to manage and develop young players. He had young players in Colorado.

Would Roy be good for Lafreniere? I think he would be. I think he'd be good for Kakko and Othmann.
 
You're mistaking skating speed for initial acceleration.
Laf isn't slow, but his first two steps are. Kakko is slightly below average, but his first step is bad.
Panarin is actually not slow.

Also CK is fast, but only straight line fast.
Chytil and Mika are the two guys who can actually do something with the puck with that speed.
Im not mistaken anything for anything. Name all the Rangers with above average speed.

I mean Larry said last week they didn’t talk to him, and then Molly said today they won’t be talking to him. They don’t need to announce everyone that isn’t getting an interview.

This whole Roy coming here was made up in fantasy land.
 
I mean doesn't really matter that much? No one we draft now is playing for them this year, unless something happens with a trade.


I understand that but imagine the Rangers select players that does not fit with the coaching style. Some prospects do attend prospect camp training camp. Rangers coaching staff does get involved with that. I would think that matters a little. Imagine if they drafted another Kravtsov with a coach that demands work ethic etc that fit would not really work. Imagine getting a defensive coach and draft a goal scorer that is a liability and another Panarin, yea that would work so well.
 
I don't think it was right to misquote a guy on such an important subject. It is not literally the same thing.
Does the meaning change in the slightest between, him standing in a room and saying "we're gonna wait on this until after the playoffs"
vs
"lets not go to the cops because we're on a cup run"

Those two sentences are the exact same thing. Is it a direct quote?no, but it is the exact same thing.

Yes words matter especially when you use quotes and say literally. If they didn't matter why change them so dramatically? He never mentioned not going to cops. I wish the player himself went to the cops.
 
I’m actually really surprised Laviolette isn’t the coach already. Seemed like a no brainer.

Which makes me feel like drury wants someone like a Roy or Keefe.

Im shocked which means maybe he is talking to other coaches not mentioned yet but the media. Has he even interviewed Leach? It’s all speculation. NYPost says he wont interview Roy. Who knows if that is just BS to keep things quiet or who knows what is going on in Drury’s mind?
 
Here's a game for you all:

-Horrible trades(Buch)
-Horrible signings(Nemeth - arguably Goody)
-Fires Jim Ramsay(wtf really bro?)
-Backstabs Gorton and John f***ing Davidson who is an absolute Rangers treasure
-Alienating our youth
-Not interviewing all HC candidates - leaving major stones unturned
-Absolute distain for media and the fanbase
-Is under intense investigation for crimes against humanity - initiative being led by @EdJovanovski

Who am I?
