Confirmed with Link: Rangers Name Alain Vigneault Head Coach

[PlamsUnlimited]

Better work out.

 

[NYGBleedBlueNYR]

I was still holding out hope for Tippett

 

[aufheben]

Well, it's a lot better than Messier. Anxious to see how this works out next season.

 

[Kwayry]

Next question is who are the assistants and what system will he implement.
Going to be a fun summer.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

By fun do you mean rage inducing?

 

[Thirty One]

Does anyone have a list of assistant coaches during AV's career and if any of them are available?

I'm wondering if the Rangers would leave it up to him to find his staff or make some recommendations

The main guy was Rick Bowness but he just signed with Tampa Bay.

Wouldn't be surprised if he kept Sully on.

 

[Unpredictable1]

What about a Sedin or two?

Joke or not, I don't want any Sedins on this team.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Don't see Sully as a bad choice if he works with the D.

 

[SA16]

Joke or not, I don't want any Sedins on this team.

Yes I wouldn't want ppg players on my team either.

And you wonder whey we don't score lol. Can't build a top offense out of third liners/two way players.

They just announced a deal in principal for Glendale to retain Coyotes. He's staying.

 

[Thirty One]

Also Dave King was AV's assistant for two years in Montreal.

I see a lot of western conference games - and they're great in the regular season, not as dominate in the playoffs.

They're not PPG players, but yes I agree - we could use a couple more scorers but I wouldn't want them to be the solution.

Big Bowness fan, I really liked his work in Van

The irony of the Rangers hiring AV is just hysterical.

Better than Mess I suppose. But still, hilarious.

Why do you say that? I am genuinely curious.

 

[Kershaw]

Wow, the Canucks this season scored less goals than the Rangers and allowed more goals than the Rangers. Their fenclose rating at ES is much worse than the Rangers too.

How the heck did they win the division?

Rangers can't get it done in the playoffs! Can't score! "You're only successful when you raise the Cup!" -Glen Sather

Hire a coach whose hallmark is great regular season play marred by playoff choke jobs. Whose teams have consistently been criticized for not showing up when it matters.

Then there are comments about what AV "got out of the Canucks roster". Lines 2-4 might be average but Vancouver has two players that are/were HEAD AND SHOULDERS above anything on the NYR roster. The "system" for the Sedins was "go play". Those two players alone account for 20 min + spent in the opposing end creating chances.

Gotta love that NW division

It cannot be understated how bad the Avs and Flames were this year.

 

[BBKers]

Certainly doesn't bode well for whoever the Rangers draft first in the Third Round.

Haha

So the knock on AV is he hasn't won a cup. .. blame luongo he simply was awful vs Boston. If he had Hank he has a cup maybe multiple

I'll be sure to drop by the board of the next team that hires JT and post them something to help them out, too. I enjoy this clip of yours.
