I would have posted this on NY's Boards, but as fans league-wide are quick to crap on the value of Ranger players, I thought it was appropriate, the night after a guy (Girardi) that was pretty much considered a dying mule, scored the winning goal in OT. Some Ranger fans said "some" of it was the coach...
Watching the ex-Rangers play under a smart coach with a system that actually works, shows that even without a superstar other than the goalie, the Ranger teams of the past 8 years probably underperformed, with nothing to show in large part because of the coaching.
AV is not the worst, but he makes mind-boggling decisions, unable to adjust in-game and just can't let young players grow.
Fair warning to AV's next team and some vindication for the players that suffered under his brutal rule
