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

[huerter]

He traded for a double agent

tu skjei

 

[bbny]

Can we just get this over with so I can continue being completely unenthused about next season?

It's going to be the same soft core with the same non-existent right wing corps and the same non-existent forecheck. The only thing changing here is the face telling them to do the same things that they ignored Gallant and Quinn telling them to do. By all accounts, if it's Hynes, the face might be even worse too.

How come I'm only now hearing the comments that John Chabot made almost a full month ago about Gallant?

Just listened, he absolutely buried Drury lmao.

For good reason. I'm a Drury defender but he unequivocally lost the plot this year.

The Kane trade needed to be made at that price, but it didn’t work out and Drury loses points for that. Given all the roster and intangible stuff that went wrong, the team probably beats the Devils handily with Vesey playing on Panarin’s wing. Tarasenko, Mikkola & Motte were enough.

Where is this to be read/heard?

I had the same curiosity, I believe this is what the reference is?

Chabot: The time to make people feel guilty has passed, we need to move forward together

Former NHLer John Chabot joins The Drive to share some memories of his former teammate Petr Klima, what's next for Gerard Gallant, John Anderson's comments about Zach Whitecloud's name, and his work with First Assist

"Dogs on that team"

That was a shot at Panarin for sure.

Man, listening to Chabot reinforce everything that I think about the situation actually f***ing sucks.

 

[Leonardo87]

Come on people, happy thoughts! It’s a beautiful “hazy” day in NYC.

Today is the day we hire the head coach of our dreams…..or nightmares.

But either way going to have fun.

I already know it won't be bern. All is lost.

Yeah, I mean it’s easy for Chabot to have that point of view in the rear view. But, let’s be clear, we had a need at RW. We had doubts about Panarin’s effectiveness in the playoffs. We got Kane essentially for just about nothing. We had doubts about Lafreniere’s effectiveness. I mean, we expected a lot more from the younger players than we got throughout the season with the occasional Chytil spurt. Drury made moves and this year they didn’t work. We weren’t a juggernaut - we finished 3rd and couldn’t beat the team that we couldn’t beat all year.

Direction needed to be changed and, unfortunately, that starts with the coach.

John Chabot.

Who cares?

Defending his friend, but yeah, we wanted a faster, tougher bottom 6 guy over Kane. Drury was backed into a corner and RW was thin. Not a single person on this site after seeing the deal was mad. We all wanted the responsible bottom 6 tough to play against guy, but the price for Kane was cheap so we went for it.

Tank and Mikkola were exactly what the team needed. We just didn't need another RW with skill. Too many cooks.

Kreider, Z, Tank, Tro, Chytil, Laf, Kakko should be more than enough size, physicality and speed in the top 9 to have a consistent forecheck with purpose. Our D are more than capable of playing up to keep the pressure high. Just like Carolina, Vegas, Avs, Cats, Leafs. Hell, our D is better than some of those teams, and many others in the league. Gallant just didn't get it out of anyone.

And again, this is from May 10, so I am not sure when the exit interview news came out in full, but his own players told Drury they needed more engagement. More talking. Help with their game. The players wanted to be coached, Gallant just didn't deliver.

Hell, that might be a testament to this leadership group when you think about it. Trouba, Kreider and Z were basically the leaders on and off the ice to get everyone involved.

Chabot also says Gallant coaches modern hockey and always has an assistant up on the lates methods. Seems to be completely at odds with the general consensus here on this board.

Yeah that's debatable at best...but the comments about the roster and guys not being willing to play the right way in the playoffs was painfully true

 

[JimmyG89]

Friend and former NHL teammate of a coach defends the coach and his handling of the situation, and this isn't the only stop along the way where it has happened.

Gallant had to go. Drury could have gone the wrong way at the deadline, but Gallant not getting through to the players is more than enough of a reason.

Of course it's obvious. And it's probably going to be the next guys' downfall too. But all this whining about systems and modern hockey and skills coaches is nonsense.

 

[duhmetreE]

The only thing 'modern' about our game was the OVER RELIANCE on the 'royal road' .

We don't have the tactics/movement to open up the passing lanes to make it viable so it's a failed gameplan/strategy. Our breakout, puck support, transition and Zone time gameplan was 1980's hockey with a 2023 roster.
