section314 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Where the hell was Kreider? Unless he couldn't walk, he has to dress for that type of game. Also, Rangers have their Captain going forward....the Smith kid. Only guy on that team with balls. Should be Drury's first move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEndTheSuffering Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Even with all the BS surronding the team right now, I woke up proud to be a Rangers fan this morning. The boys in that locker room answered the call last night. Now there's work to do this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROOKLYN JET Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Drury would probably give the minor league coaches a look, being that he put that staff together and they were able to step in and do well this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Torts did not chase away Gaborik or the Rangers would have fired Torts before he did, they may have won it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BROOKLYN JET Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Dan Girardi has been a development coach with the Sabres and was moved up to the bench this year. I hope the Rangers consider bringing him back in some capacity. He went went from undrafted player to great Ranger, he may have more up his sleeve and deserves a look in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 At this point we have some veterans and a bunch of young players with NHL experience and high ceilings. We are also pretty competitive "as is" and so this is normally the point at which you bring in a coach with experience who can take the teams to the next level. Torts has a history of wearing out his welcome in places and here was one of those places. He also has a history of getting his teams into the playoffs and then massively underperforming once he gets there. Hard pass on Torts from my own POV. I would be looking for an Alain Vigneault type except that his record this year with the Flyers is not a good one. We do need someone who has been there done that. I cannot think of any names off the top of my head but I do think that Quinn should be done here. The Rangers should be an extremely attractive "get" for whoever the new coach would be because of the age of the team he would be getting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEndTheSuffering Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 We knew this was coming. Overall I have mixed feelings about Quinn, some good memories and some bad ones. On to the new regime and hopefully better years are ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Interest in the coaching gig at the Rangers will be high but we need to settle on the GM first even if the interim guy gets the job. From my point of view there were too many nights where the Rangers team did not show up ready to play in the first period and that problem falls squarely on the coaching staff. Plus TBH the overall development of the kids was not as fast as I thought it should have been. Quinn had a doghouse and young players could be in there for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
