Confirmed with Link: David Quinn - New Rangers Coach (Officially official on 5/23)

[Riche16]

MSL said no already and Quinn was in Sweden last week with Hank... sometime this week?

 

[Kovalev27]

MSL said no? I didn't see that anywhere when?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

You’re surprised Gorton is not getting things done?

Ruff comes back that’s a lazy move but not surprising. Who else comes in? MSL would be awesome imo.

Based on what? What is it that would make it an awesome decision? What has he honestly done as a coach to warrant a contract in the NHL?

I have nothing against MSL, but let's be real here. Players work their way up after retiring. They don't just walk into the NHL for a coaching position.

A bunch of them do actually.

We know Ruff is back, I'd expect something like Scott Gordon and another name with some pro coaching experience (hopefully not Capuano)

 

[Kovalev27]

Sure they do. As an assistant he’s there the assist. Learn the ropes. Interact with the players. MSL is a natural born leader more so than anyone we’ve had on this team in a long time. I’d love to see him on the bench.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

MSL said no? I didn't see that anywhere when?

On Rangers Night Live, Marty told John Giannone about coaching, "It's something I see myself trying and liking, timing is everything. Right now I'm focusing on my kids and this is time you can't get back and it's been a blast. I'm gonna keep doing that for now and take it a year at a time."

What Marty St. Louis said about possibly becoming a coach at the pro level

 

[Irishguy42]

So in a roundabout way, he said no.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

They basically gifted Hartford to St Louis a while back and he said no.

His time will come though. He'll be back in the fold at some point

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah he basically just said "not yet."

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

And MSL is coaching his kids right now, so while it’s not any kind of pro team, he is sort of getting coaching experience

 

[Antman427]

I read that Joe Sacco could be a candidate.
He has a relationship with Quinn.

Sacco and Ruff, not sure I love it...

 

[Mac n Gs]

Sacco and Ruff, not sure I love it...

I’ll give Sacco the benefit of the doubt that since he’s played a big part in bringing along the kids from Providence this season. I’m still not thrilled with his coaching record in Colorado, but he didn’t necessarily have good teams there.

Plus he'd be an assistant, not a HC.

Some guys just aren't cut out to be the head honcho but make great #2's.

Rick Bowness, for example.

Yeah, it’s nothing that get you really excited — but they could end up doing well of course.

It’s so hard to know much about these guys. If anything, I think work ethic and ambition is really really important. It takes so many hours, so much can be done. 24/7.

[rangers1314]

Brown apparently ran BC’s D and PK.

If Ruff is coming back, looks like it won’t be the same role as last season.

 

[Leetch3]

Staff should be ruff in the press box as a mentor/advisor to help Quinn adjust to the nhl. Then a guy that specializes in developing young dmen and another that specializes in developing young forwards

 

[Irishguy42]

I like the idea of Ruff as eyes in the sky/NHL coaching veteran.

Gotta think Ruff is taking over as the video coach and some kind of associate coach that is upstairs on game day.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Brown was Brian Leetch's teammate at BC, so ya gotta think Leetch had some form of input in this decision. Brown's been under some dude named Jerry York for over a decade, so he's got some pretty good experience with a top-notch college coach. He's also been coaching the USA U20 teams recently with Bob Motzko, and the dude knows how to coach modern-style young defenders.

It's not what I expected, but I'm cool with it. I didn't really need to mention the BC connection with our current players, right?

[Irishguy42]

Rangers gonna be nothing but Russians, Swedes, and Boston kids. With a sprinkling of Minnesota.

jerry dineen isn't going anywhere but associate coach would be my guess
