Who Do You Want to be the Next Head Coach of the NY Rangers?

[Machinehead]

Toronto's "offense" seems to be to have 4 guys setting up Matthew's shot.

Our offense is 4 guys setting up Zibanejad's shot.

On the PP yes, and if it's not a PP then let's just wait for a PP.

Like Hartford is a great place to prove that you can coach a team and get a job as an NHL coach? Just maybe not with the Rangers.



Have you ever worked in an environment where promotions are given strictly based on tenure?

I am all for giving Knoblauch the role, if he is the best person available for this team.

Matter of fact: time in grade is a thing.

 

[ReddestRum]

No. Just.. no.

[Shesterkybomb]

First choice, adam oates...2nd Knobloch

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I really don’t think there’s any chance they hire Babcock.

 

[CasusBelli]

Strong personality surrounded by brilliant hockey minds. Maybe Messier can be that guy. Babcock could be that guy. Still would love Torts. Need discipline here.

The following is pulled purely out of my butt.

But I think Babcock got fired, because he made Marner cry. And I want him to make Bread cry.

My friend who knows said..... when series was tied ...if Rangers lose.... GG is gone..... period. And that's that! PS ...trying to find out who next coach is...nothing yet

If you're mocking me then you havent kept track of what I've posted and when. Either way I don't care much.

 

[bleedblue94]

Likewise

The difference is that things I have said have later come out as true. Whichever, have a good weekend, cheers

Laviolette would be a very uninspiring choice. His recent body of work has been very tepid.

I’m intrigued by Babcock. His command of tactics is excellent. He is the ultimate puck possession coach. I’m really like to sit across the table from him and asked him what he has learned during his absence from the game, what he would do differently and take stock in how much the experience might have humbled him.

Leach vs. Halpern in the young coach lane. I don’t see Knoblach in the game here.

 

[bobbop]

And don’t sleep on Bob Hartley

 

[NYRFANMANI]

For I minute I thought Babcock was an assistant to Scotty Bowman.

But man, if the rumors I seem to recall are true, that Babcock was a hard-ass on his players, I want him here just for that.

I don't remember a single thing you've called right.

But regardless, you need to chill.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

I'll let you hang on to the things that you are convinced about.

I would have been fine with that higher in season, but based on what's happening around this team and the fact they just fired a coach that just had to 100 points seasons It's safe to say that the GM is probably not going to be gambling his job on hiring the team's AHL coach, or at least that's not his first choice. Doesn't mean that he won't get the job, but I can all but assure you that's not choice

Pardon my ignorance, but, if you do have an inside track, is that what you're hearing, a big name coach?

And don’t sleep on Bob Hartley

Interesting.

We’re all just fans, it’s not that serious

Interesting.

I've mentioned some names I know about.

This part is my speculation though: Drury knows what the orders were from Dolan and based on those marching orders I personally am skeptical that he would potentially risk his job on a lesser known person where the move can be second guessed. He was here through the Quinn tenure and all the questions about an NHL rookie coach. That thought process is consistent with what I have heard regarding the names. I am really hoping Mollie is wrong about lavy. That's the first I heard of him and Bruce would make no sense as a noted players coach.

I'm absolutely fine but thanks for the suggestion.

chelios once accused him of being anti-american…

OK thanks, not what I wanted to hear but not surprised at all. If we aren't getting a fresh modern hockey mind behind the bench, I at least hope it's a hard ass that demands his players be in condition and give a full 60. Black and Blue Shirts 2.0.

I personally think this group needs something to shake them bc there is a fracture even within the core group. The team either needs a significant move to alter the personality of the team (people know my thoughts on panarin at this point) or a crack the whip coach that demands accountability which is hard to find now, but that would crack the entitlement within the team. Someone who isn't scared of benching players and removing them from their pp time or cookies if they aren't willing to adjust as needed.

Mostly conjecture but the latest from Staple

That article makes me want to punch a hole through stucco.

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

Messier, Torts, Renney... With the names we're putting in this thread, I'm surprised no one is genuinely suggesting a return to this guy.
