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

[The Crypto Guy]

Said Laf and Kakko will absolutely get the opportunity with bigger minutes.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

When do we see him transform into Doc Ock?

He didn't say Peca (or any of his assistants) were finalized, but I wouldn't expect him to in his presser.


Nice little interview with Dave Maloney. Were Lavi and Don Maloney teammates here?

I think peca is confirmed.

I think he said the right things, but that’s not difficult when you’ve had 2 weeks to prepare.
Putting them into action will be the hard part.

Said Laf and Kakko will absolutely get the opportunity with bigger minutes.

Will those opportunities last longer than 3 shifts though?

Links?

Well, he said that it also needs to be merited and earned

They don't even stream this on their fb page or website. Great advertising idiots

I'll believe it when I see it. Probably lasts all of a couple games.

Lol here we go

 

[Avery16]

I'd rather have a coaching staff full of ex-NHL players and experience behind the bench who happened to play on rival teams than someone with none, a la Trottier.

But what about handwriting skills

Said Laf and Kakko will absolutely get the opportunity with bigger minutes.

What choice does he have? That’s what has to happen.

What time is the presser, or did I miss it

What time is the presser, or did I miss it

It’s already over, but I saw it on MSG Go

They’ll have it on their site/youtube later

 

[duhmetreE]

preaching to the choir

It was on MSG, will most likely be uploaded to youtube later today.

Yes Don was still a NYR when Lav came up for a cup of coffee.

 

[McRanger92]

Laviolette is what the team needs. It's up to the players to buy in now.

They did, just not on YouTube.

That makes no sense. Wasn't even streamed on their fb page. I'll have to catch this when I get home

We aren't poised to get any better on paper, so effort and structure are pretty much all you can talk about anyways.

He's saying the right things but you guys have been watching long enough to know that the PR stuff doesn't mean much.

 

[mas0764]

He has to do more than just try to get their compete level up though.

They need a system and structure that works in today's game.

At leas there is reason to believe in him based on his track record with other teams.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Nothing on the other assistant?

 

[Gardner McKay]

Mike Peca as assistant coach??? Maybe we can just get the entire Islanders roster on too? Is Zigmund Palfy around to help run the powerplay units? This is literally unreal what is happening.

Yes. As unreal as this completely legitimate reaction.

They totally can if guys Laff, Kakko, and Schneider improve.
