The clock strikes 12. We are in the second dark age momentarily.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Gross.

We get to do this in two years again, with the added bonus of also needing to hire a new GM, think of all the laughs we will have.

The Rangers can write the book on how to sabotage your rebuild.

Good luck to the young guys getting the teaching they need.

All I want from my coach is to implement a meritocracy. Very easy .......contract,past awards and accolades, or anything from the past is useless..My coach needs to look at the play on the ice and dole out minutes accordingly.

Can only hope

If Laviolette is the "now" guy then Knoblauch better be an assistant coach to take over the reigns for the inevitable firing in 2 years.

f*** is this disappointing.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Should’ve been Knoblouch. Oh well. On to the next. I probably will skip the first few months this year anyway unless the team gets red hot

New York Rangers announce Stone Cold Steve Austin as their new head coach.

Unlike some younger people that feel certain guys should not have to earn their minutes Im completely on board with a merit based system.

Crazy idea for posters on this board..... Give the new coach a fair chance instead of planning to fire him before he coaches the Rangers in a single game.

 

[LORDE]

I'm so shocked they went this lazy route

The NYR... cultivating mediocrity since 1926

 

[The Crypto Guy]

What a joke as a coach.

County Club continues at MSG. Panarin and Zib are happy guys right now.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Hoping for the best, but expecting the mid


Will he bring Hynes on as an assistant?

 

[Savant]

Moved from Bald edition to Fat edition

Probably the best hire of the names we really heard they were actually considering. Stupid that they made "coaching experience," more of a priority than "having a clue how to develop youth and offensive ability."

Silver lining: This probably means the end of the horrific Drury administration sooner rather than later.

Wow, he paid not quite through the nose at a couple of trade deadlines. People act like he's front office God. The rebuild has been almost completely derailed. Way to go, ya bum. We should be entering a decade of dominance; instead, we are like 2 seasons away from another retool.

And the worst part is we get to watch the Devils as they do what we should have done. Acquire young talent in spades. They have more than us and it's sad.

 

[redwhiteandblue]

Please please please bring in Knoblauch as an assistant. Stash your next gutsy play just in case...

 

[cheech70]

whats wrong with this?

 

[Raspewtin]

looking forward to his firing and taking that buffoon Drury with him tbh

Lavi is both.

 

[cheech70]

I don't remember but was Paul Maurice a candidate like Lavy?

 

[duhmetreE]

So underwhelming

 

[machphantom]

Brilliant, another Dolan temper tantrum, leading to the firing of JD and Gorts, which in turn leads to the hiring of an apparently hot headed GM who fires a coach who's had relative success in the league without ANY consideration for who would be on the market. If this goes through, Drury is a bad GM IMO, and I can't wait until hes gone.

 

[Savant]

If Laviolette is good, great

If Laviolette is not good, both him and Drury need to be out. Quick hook.

 

[duhmetreE]

whats wrong with this?

Its from 11 years ago.

Think about how much has changed.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Hynes and Mitch Love as assistant coaches would be great. Maybe keep Knoblauch in Hartford?

Its from 11 years ago.

Think about how much has changed.
