His first 2 games were fine. Not great, but not bad.
He was horrible yesterday.
As was everyone else not named Lundqvist. Still a far cry from "Otherwise he's done nothing but get knocked down a whole lot"

So you need puck posession in order to win? But I was told by this board we needed more tuffnuss....
It's a condemnation of AV worrying more about matching MTL's physicality than optimizing the Rangers' skill.

Geoff Gordon can be the GM.
The rest of us can coach by committee. Can't be any worse than Vigneault at this point.
Snowblind needs a role as goalie coach as his second job
Bern as the AGM
Bobbop behind the bench? With Ranger Boy?
I loathe the RD position but wth will do it in the memory of Dan Boyle (or was it Stralman)?
We need our old friend DaGoon in there for some sandpaper as well...
The problem last night wasn't systems related and it wasn't lineup related. It was coaching related, though not 100%
This team is not sharp mentally or focused. And because of that, they're playing poorly with the puck. They don't pass crisply. They have a hard time receiving passes cleanly. They take too long to make decisions.
It's no shock that just about the only time they played with decisiveness the entire game led to the Skjei goal.
This is on the coaches. This is on the leadership. This is on the individual players. Last night was a failure because of it.

Maybe the guys, like all of us on this board, recognized how badly AV blew Game 2 and they're just done with him. It's really not that far-fetched.
They know they have no shot at beating Pittsburgh, let alone even keep pace with them, and a run to the ECF buys AV more time. One and done and Gorton has to highly consider giving AV the boot.
And of course that didn't come across on TV and led to pages and pages of people whining about how terrible the building is and how no one there is a real fan.
No matter how much you repeat it, it doesnt make it more true. Zucc had a good game and was one of very few NYR players who actually gave a ****. His penalty was about his only negative. But i know you just love hating on him so its ok.
Major excuses, and sounds like something said by someone who's only been to the Garden. Fans at MSG have been pathetic for years. Montreal puts us to shame. Buffalo, NJ, Washington and even the Islanders fans are far louder. The Garden is one par with the Rock and BB&T in Florida.
Vigneault has lost the room. I've seen the exact scenario unfold in Vancouver. The stars are all aligned in the same fashion. The only difference is Gorton's resolve. It'll come down to if Gorton says I'll give him one more year or not.
Feel bad for whoever spent money going to that game.
Hes getting another year no matter what.
The question then becomes if he fires him after we see the same thing repeat itself next year (assuming they don't miss the playoffs all together.)

If this is true it makes sense. They have quit on AV. Step is going through the motions because he believes what there doing will not work.Others following...oh well who is the next coach?
Didn't Torts get a contract extension not too long before he got fired?
