Confirmed with Link: Rangers Hire Peter Laviolette as Head Coach, Assistants Michael Peca & Dan Muse

[TopShelfSnipes]

It was fun though for all of us (including myself) to be agonizing over the menu for weeks just to order a glass of water.

Especially hilarious considering the menu apparently had only two items on it...water (Laviolette) and diet water (Hynes).

BREAKING:

Mika Zibanejad has accepted an offer to be the full-time DJ at Club Berns in Stockholm Sweden. Per a press release, Mr Zibanejad will be behind the decks five nights a week starting October 1, 2023.

When asked if today’s announcement of Peter Lav-O-let as the newest NY Rangers Head Coach influenced his decision, Zibanejad hugged Chris Kreider, then immediately ran out of the room.

Least surprising news since Gallant getting canned. It's a meh hire which excites me about as much as a Dominos Pizza, but it could always be worse.

No matter who was going to be the next coach, he would have to deal with a roster with severe flaws and any success being contingent on the (no longer) kids breaking out.

You're not from NY, are you?

 

[Mike in Houston]

I wish him the best. All I can do at this point.

 

[Kane One]

He’s saying he’s just as unexcited about Laviolette as he’s unexcited about Dominos.

 

[rangerlp]

Peter Laviolette's career won't be complete until he get fired by the Rangers and the Devils...

Nashville was his weird experimental phase.

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Exactly. Though I'm not from NY, so in a sense the assertion was correct. (And Dominos being low quality is as well established fact globally.)

 

[duhmetreE]

Respectfully no
this tea has little enuf chemistry as it is and you want to break up the only fully functional line we have [as to all 3 Fs being cohesive}?
Sorry no

They stand out because the other lines are comically bad. Kreider Zibs Kakko was the best line we've had for some time.

I know you’re talking about something else, but I see some interesting parallels between nashvilles roster and ours.

 

[Ruggs225]

Im coming around to Lavs being coach. I mean he is a great coach and WSH was not his fault. This is probably a good situation for him.

But mostly, this team has alot of big personalities i think. Or at least a veteran personalities. They might have just chewed up a younger coach. Lavs at least commands some respect.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I know you’re talking about something else, but I see some interesting parallels between nashvilles roster and ours.

Where?

I don't really see any. They were faster and built to play more aggressive up front and their top 4 was Josi-Subban (pre back injury useless version) Ekholm-Ellis.

Fox is the only D we currently have that would have broken into their top 4. Their top 2 pairs were tremendous.

Igor is way better than Rinne was who goes under the radar in terms of being an awful playoff performer.

Id say miller if he can get going a little, I’d comparable to that years version of eklholm.
Remember that was 6 years ago, not the ekholm we have now, and he got better since then.
I think we’re very strong in our top 4, and Schneider needs to get a little stronger and make some better first passes but then he’d be a great top 4d.
I really see a lot of similarities in the back end. Strong defenseman, just need a system to really utilize them as opposed to forwards sitting on the boards waiting for passes.

I'd rather eat Dominos than pizza in Ohio or most of Europe, frankly. It's not good but it is at least consistent. And I say this as someone who lives in a pizza Mecca basically.

Signed as someone who has spent way too much time in the Midwest

 

[NickyFotiu]

I think NY pizza is a bit overrated but I think NY Chinese food is the best.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Starting to grow on me. If nothing else, this hire is very amusing here bc it’s pissed off the “just vibes” posters greatly.

 

[duhmetreE]

tbh I thought Washington was a scary team his first 2 seasons.

Injuries played a role. No goaltending as well.

Hope for the best. I stand by my prophecy in that we win a Cup before Igor needs a new contract.

 

[gravey9]

Lavy is to coaching hires as Vincent Trocheck to UFAs.

I see the logic behind it. It could be an underrated move. But it's even more likely to be a mixed bag at the expense of some sexier option that'll come around in the next 6 months to a year and we'll be annoyed we're stuck with him on some level.

But who knows.

I like it better than the Kane and Buchnevich trades.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Why does the division keep hiring him?

 

[Kravtsov420]

Basically traded in a 2000 Civic for a 2002 Camry.

Gallant was definitely 90s sable territory

Whoa.....Sable was very hot.....her and Torrie Wilson were on fire!!

The pizza in St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit all have something to offer true connoisseurs of the medium. Can’t say the same for the so-called Hartford style.
