Rangers Let Go of Head Athletic Trainer Jim Ramsay

[Modest Grouse]

This seems pretty stupid as he’s been one of the best in the league for a long time.

By what measure has he been "one of the best in business"? Because Sam and Joe say so?

Look, Ramsay's been with the organization for 3 decades so clearly previous regimes were at the very least satisfied with his work, but I don't know how you can classify this move as 'stupid' when you have no idea what went into the decision to dismiss him.

Probably because of man games lost over seasons. And while that may attribute to a larger group other than just Ramsay but it would be foolish to think he didn’t have much say in It. How about a more in depth look. Because on the surface this looks pretty f***ing stupid.

Scorching take, coming in hot but…..


Sam should get a job in the org wherever he wants, but as far as the play by play goes his time is coming too. Joe, I couldn’t care less one way or the other.

Heard Jed Ortmeyer is getting promoted and will serve as Player Development lead and Trainer.

They said, "no one trained or works harder than Jed."

the country club is looking to get disrupted.

Cant wait to develop Othmann and Cuylle into the next Ortmeyer and Betts

Drury is not f***ing around.

I think this proves.....Drury is the problem.

 

[hackeyman]

Can't wait to see the takes when the hot dog vendor on the Chase Bridge is handed his walking papers.

He should have been the first to go. That f***er's buns are soggy and his weiners limpy !

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

interesting, I am guessing Drury was probably not happy with Ramsay when he was playing for the Rangers. He was just looking for some excuse to exact his revenge.

No social media send off or press release from the organization acknowledging Rammer's nearly 30 years of service doesn't pass the smell test to me.

Yea, that's pretty odd. He's also still listed on NYR.com, they usually are pretty quick to remove names. Maybe Staple was wrong, I havent seen anyone else report it.

Mollie confirmed in a NY Post article

classy original 6 no more, it's Drury in charge now.

My only theory is that Drury is scapegoating Ramsay for clearing Patrick Kane for trade. We all asked, "how the hell did Kane receive medical clearance for this trade??"

IF MARK CIACCIO SURVIES I WILL BE FURIOUS AND LOSE HOPE

PLEASE

what is this "hope" you speak of?

Damn him and his flaccid nitrate rods!

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

We're the New York Rangers. We should have a Skating Coach, a Shooting Coach and a Stickhandling/Passing Coach. We should have coaches coming out of our ears to step in and help whoever needs help.

We need a leadership coach to teach Jimmy how to ignore Glen

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Sad. Next do Vince, Mollie, Colin, and Donny La Grecs.

Vince is ok by me

No athletic trainer is going to give medical clearance. Doctors do that.

 

[huerter]

Vince is ok by me

He's a sports journalist turned hockey journalist who tries to appeal to the millennial base.

Don't joke like that. There were folks on this board that were ready to name Ortmeyer captain at the time.

 

[B17 Apricots]

I heard Jim Ramsay helped Stanley Kubrick fake the moon landing and that's why Drury let him go

 

[ArPanet]

Drury found out Rammer was Brooksie’s source all along.

We have the least man games missed because everyone plays injured lol

We have the least man games missed bc no one goes to the slot or drives the net. You take punishment going to the net, we don't do it.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

wait I think I know. I think if I remember correctly Ramsay advises players to play through injury/pain and return to playing as soon as possible which hurts their performance and reaggravates it or makes it worse.

Weren't Rangers the team this season that had fewest games lost to injury?

 

[FoxyClean]

To everyone saying this is fine and questioning peoples' "overreactions"

They FIRED the longest tenured guy in the organization without saying a word. If this was merely a retirement or planned "moving on," they obviously would've acknowledged it at the end of the season somehow, the fans loved him. At the very least, the social media team would've posted something about it the past couple days to thank him.

We may never know what exactly it is, but there is absolutely a dramatic story here. You're insane to think not.
