Oy vey.

 

[Tawnos]

If this is true, I'm very, very happy about it.

 

[Rangers79]

Not a bad choice, has experience, ex ranger. Should make people happy

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Based on what I read, sounds like he's done well as a coach.

Seems like a good move.

 

[Vitto79]

Physical Dman on the roster I see

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Nice.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Good. Now, please get Guy Boucher as the other AC

 

[The Gloaming]

Interesting. I hope AV got to pick his own guys.

 

[Crazed Beaver]

Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Perfect Paradox]

Will he suit up and finally fill the void for a nasty defenseman?

 

[nyr2k2]

Nice. Welcome, Ulf.

 

[SupersonicMonkey*]

Will he suit up and finally fill the void for a nasty defenseman?

That's why McIlrath is in the organization, and could compete for a spot in camp. Who better to coach a player like McIlrath then Ulf and Beuke.

 

[Boruto]

someone smeared Mr.Samuelsson a while ago. What are his down sides?

 

[Rangers ftw]

I like!!!

 

[BBKers]

Called this a couple weeks ago. Congrats to my former grunt mate from theSwedsh Army!

 

[Osminator]

Aweeeeesoooome!

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I don't even know why I like this so much, but I do!

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Also, RIP to opposing teams Assistant Coaches. Ours will **** theirs up.

 

[Synergy27]

Dude was sick on the PP in his day. He's clearly being brought in to fill that void.

Hated Ulfie my entire life, even after he became a Ranger. My lasting memory of him is a goal that went into the Rangers net off of his face. Dude seems to have made a name for himself as a coach, but I don't know much, if anything, about the job he's done so I'm indifferent to this until I see what he brings.

Ulfie was a true warrior as a player. There are some dirty hits, but he got a much worse rep than his cheap shoots warrants because he didn't fight.

I liked him more as a player than a coach though. I think he has done a decent job, but nothing spectacular. He should be given one thing though; he has paid his dues. Assisted in the NHL. Assisted in the AHL. Head coaching job in the SEL.

He is a really tough, no-nonsense coach. I think he is pretty demanding, and I don't get the feeling that he is all that positive/up-beat.

 

[TheDave1022]

From Larry Brooks too

Told that Rangers have hired Ulf Samuelsson as one of Vigneault's assistant coaches...

Samuelsson has not yet signed contract but will be done...met last two days with Vigneault, will attend NYR prospects' camp that begins tms

 

[94now]

Time will show. I liked Sullivan. "Everything dies, baby, that's the fact..."
Ulf is one of my fav euros,third after Kovy and Jagr , on Broadway. Just forgot Nedved and Karpovtsev...

 

[Black Aces]

Oy vey.

You should probably read up on him as a coach and get informed before acting so annoyed over an opinion based on nothing.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

At the very least, he can teach our defensemen the art of the knee to knee hit.
