Do I hear 9 straight wins?!?!

I'd give Kravtsov 2-1 odds.

Panarin has to shoot that puck.

Roger Neilsen wore unique outfits wherever he coached.

Classic Rangers! TAKE A SHOT!!!!

Damn it, Chytil.

Shero and Pete said Nielsen.

I had no idea about Roger Nielsen.

That was quick...

I'm intrigued by what the Giants can do with the eleventh pick in the NFL Draft. Let's see what happens. LET'S GO GIANTS! Sent from my SM-S367VL using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

Had to go with what was given. Sent from my SM-S367VL using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

That's where I don't see Quinn as part of the long-term plan as far as coaching. Sent from my SM-S367VL using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk

A better question for this thread would be: If you were Gorton, who would you have hired as head coach of the New York Rangers? Because I do agree, changes needed to be made with the note (from management, not the front office, in only had Gorton's name on the note), but it was who Gorton hired as HC that had me perplexed.

They do shoot, I would also rather have Barzini.

Gorton is an enigma, to put it simply. He can make solid trades (Fox) and draft picks (Kravtsov, K'Andre Miller), yet sign UFAs like Shattenkirk that have to be bought out in a few years. Right now we have plenty of cap space, but it all depends on what we do with it on July 1st.

I'm starting to take a more in-depth look as to why the Rangers kept the GM, yet fired AV in the early months of 2018. I agree with the sentiment of this forum: changes needed to be made with the coach, the Rangers had frustrating playoff losses during AV's tenure and he made his own questionable in-game decisions. But if this team was going into a full rebuild, we needed to strip it down and do it right: trade players of the old core to get significant futures, cleaning house with the Head Coach AND GM. We did 1 and 2, not 3 1. Trade players of the old core for picks and prospects (TBL trade). 2. Fired the Coach 3. Did not get rid of the GM. A similar case study of the HC-GM half-measures would be the early 2000s New York Mets (Mets fans, remind me if you've heard this before) The 2000s Mets were similar to the AV Rangers: both teams had frustrating playoff losses and needed a shake-up with the Manager. But Wilpon didn't fire Steve Phillips in order to bring them to a proper rebuild. Look where that move got them in their next manager. Apparently, Dolan and Sather took a page out of Fred Wilpon's playbook by doing a half-measure through keeping the GM. In bringing back Gorton, guess who he hired as HC: a man who did have coaching experience, except he was a coach in the AHL and NCAA and was only an assistant in the NHL with the Avalance. Look at Keirik's post in the GDT for last night's game against Philadelphia on page 16, regarding the turnaround of the Avs after Quinn was given the pink slip as their assistant.

They've taken on the personality of their coach: Always working, never giving up. We're not seeing that from the Rangers side of the Garden, considering our talent. Work always defeats talent.

This Knicks team is having the same fight as the 90's teams, except I don't think there's a big-name superstar on this team, where in the 90s, they had Ewing and Oakley. Starks, the less said about him, the better. Sent from my SM-S367VL using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk
