Who sucks more? Drury, Dolan, Sather, or Jay Monahan? Serious question
 

Look at Vinny trying to soften the Mark Ciaccio is staying blow.


Let’s check in and see how @duhmetreE is handling the news.

Oh dear…
 
I still wouldn’t mind hynes only for the fact that Drury would finally have his guy and all levels of the organization would be on the same page for the first time in years. That’s more important than placating the fanbase with a hot name imo
Well having the org on the same page is important… but it looks like the page is the beginning of the end
 
Who the hell would want to work for Chris Drury and James Dolan? I can’t imagine a more uninspiring duo to be in a room with. I guess Hynes fits that mold perfectly, a complete void in terms of charisma and aptitude.

At least Gorts and JD had patience, passion, and a plan.

In just about 13 months, this organization has fallen from the peak of hype and hope to depths of despair and indifference I haven’t seen in a long time. Rebuild 2.0 coming next summer when we burn out in the first round again.
Whats amazing is according to this board our owner, gm, coach, and players are terrible yet they made the playoffs and almost the finals in the last 2 years. Plenty of people would be very happy to be offered the NY Rangers coaching job.
 
The Drury hate in here is really over the top. You may not agree with everything he has done. But moving on from Gallant was the correct decision. The team was despondent at various times throughout the season, and that showed again in the Playoffs even after being up 2-0 in the opening round. They had no killer instinct under this coaching staff. They didnt have it last year when up 2-0 over Tampa. They didnt have it consistently throughout the regular season. They didnt have it against the Devils. It was time for a change.

Of the coaches who have been hired so far, who have they missed out on? Who was the big miss? Unproven Carberry? So much vitriol in the language of many here towards Drury. How about we let him finish hiring someone and see how the season goes. I agree I want no part of Hynes but Drury hasn’t hired him to this point. And if he does, I’ll still be watching next year like many of you.
 

Will you p***yes stop talking about not being a Rangers fan anymore? As if it was a choice to begin with? You're stuck here FO LIFE.
The ones that don't want to be here should leave. The Rangers will find a way to overcome them becoming fans of other teams till they leave them as well. Did the Canucks fan come back here after Krav was benched for many games before going back to the KHL?
 
Yeah getting rid of Gallant was the right move and it was also one that 95% of this board wanted. And now the team is being deliberate in hiring a coach but we've all decided it's actually because they're all morons who have no idea of what they want to do. And so we yearn for the old administration, whose specialty was stocking every front office position with family or friends and who brought us David "Developmental Coach" Quinn. And with all that, a return the Dark Ages is imminent and we're totally pathetic.

I also LOL at this fascination with Mark Ciaccio. I have no idea if he's good at his job, or terrible. What I do know is that before this offseason I had heard his name mentioned on this forum about 5 times in total, and now he comes up every third or fourth post.

For this board, it all checks out.

Yes. You neglect that everyone agrees that our goalie is terrific, and our powerplay is great. Those can get you within 6 games of the Cup with the right puck luck.

But the underlying analytics show we're really bad and overpaid 5 on 5, which is unlikely to make us Cup-worthy. You cannot look at the New Jersey series where our f***ing goalie was firing shots on goal and somehow remain blind to that.

They could do what Harold Ballard did with Roger Neilson in the late 1970s; Ballard fired Neilson then 2 days later for the Maple Leafs' first game after the firing, they wanted the new coach come out wearing a paper bag. The new coach who came out with the team that night was Neilson!

This is likely a unfamiliar reference to some on here, so you can Google it.

The Rangers should hold a press conference to announce the new Head Coach and announce the new coach is Gerard Gallant! LOL
 
No news on any more interviews? Latest on Roy is they won't interview him, I hope that's wrong just like the Laviolette hoax.
