Player Discussion Alain Vigneault Part VI

[Jersey Girl]

His biggest point of security was that the team wins games with him behind the bench.

LOL just let this comment sink in for a while...

 

[Edge]

Yet we’re a franchise that would trade a first round pick for a head coach. The Rangers can make some completely ridiculous moves at any moment.

Let us also not forget the Trottier fiasco.

That was like hiring a known arch enemy to run your troops. Just a totally stupid idea.

What. He had nice handwriting.

Because Sather liked his penmanship

Nobody said it was easy being a Rangers fan.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Honestly, at this point, they should just keep the guy through the entire season, so we can continue to suck, then clean house in the offseason and hire an entirely new staff. Come back fresh and ready for 2018-19.

Just when I finally did forget it you post this. Thanks. -_-

 

[McRanger]

Why sell yourself short? Let's go with Trottier and his hand writing. Also, by now, I think that Ron Low has learned his lessons.

This made me laugh.

But it was less of a hearty chuckle and more of a sad or resigned snicker.

If there is an absolutely wrong move to be made, trust the organization which has 1 cup in over 75 years to make it. Michel Bergeron says hello.

I never could understand why they would extend AV with several years left on his contract.

They got rid of draft pick compensation for coaches, right?

 

[Irishguy42]

Correct

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

So if the team loses on Thursday to give the Coyotes their 1st win of the season that has to be the last straw with this bum right?

 

[Nickmo82]

His last straw should've come with elimination last year.

I have a sad feeling that he'll still be here for elimination this year... so at this rate, Christmas.

 

[Brooklyn Ranger]

There's quite a bit of blame to go around. The players and the front office are part of the problem too. Truly an organizational effort.

 

[Ori]

Yeah Gorton feel the pressure for sure and coach AV - I doubt Glen Sather is happy as a president these days, and something need to be done here.

Larry B. with a new article.

This quote confuses me:

Even if it is tougher these days to do something dramatic in October or early November, no it is not too early to suggest the GM is on the clock here and so is his coach, Alain Vigneault.

Is or isn't GMJG on the clock, because the last part of that sentence is a positive, not a negative. Larry Brooks is worse at English grammar than a 15-year old vlogger.

 

[Ori]

It`s pressure on both Av & Gorton for sure.
The `new article` confusing?

"no it is not too early to suggest the GM is on the clock here and so is his coach, Alain Vigneault."

That sentence makes no sense.

 

[Ori]

Ah, I understand you now - yeah, maybe it`s early concerning the GM - not sure why Larry Brooks wrote it like that. He is obviously not happy with our coaching staff, and part of the management in New York.

 

[Crease]

Larry is probably just upset because Gorton plugged the leaks.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Brooks is bad in more ways than 1. His articles are nothing more than speculation based on social media opinions. He's an echo chamber of Twitter and HF Boards. His horrible grammar makes it even more infuriating to read those articles. How that man is paid to do this, is beyond me.

 

[Ori]

It`s a difficult decision for Sather as the president, but he had no issues to move Callahan years ago as GM, but what do you guys think?
Should Glen Sather do anything in his job situation?

 

[haveandare]

AV needs to go - even if you don’t think this slide if his fault, he’s clearly lost the team. Happens to all coaches in time. We need to recognize and move on.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Exactly. AV isn't 100% to blame, but he is partially to blame, and as the cliche goes you can't fire 20 players but you can fire 1 coach.
