Rangers hire Gerard Gallant as their next head coach

[Machinehead]

Who is Howden? And why not play him?

You don't wanna know.

 

[ole ole]

Wont be a good hire; Rangers are a finesse and skill team, Gallant works well with tough systems and cycling/defense.

Hes going to get them more wins than Quinn so by virtue its a better coach. But he wont get nearly as much out of Kakko and Lafreniere as a newer-school coach would

Rangers gonna Ranger though and hire the biggest dollar name

Gallant took the Sea Dogs to a Memorial Cup win. He'll get a lot out of Kakko and Lafreniere. Great move by the Rangers.

 

[Osakahaus]

From your avatar (and your "rags" reference ) - I assumed you were an Islander fan and was paying your team and Trotz a compliment.

Oh I agree and know that, trust me. Trotz has done wonders for the isles, but gallant will do the same for the rangers in a different way. he'll probably give kakko the benefit of being much more physical and being with a better system as well.

 

[aufheben]

Lol this franchise

 

[HanSolo]

Great pick. Wish Ducks took him.

Doubt he'd get the Ducks to lift the cup again but he'd at least get the team playing respectable hockey.

Bummed Anaheim didn't get him and are still giving Eakins leeway. But I suppose if they're trying to get a few more high picks then why change anything?

 

[Pitaya]

Lol nobody thought they were a playoff team the past 2 years. 2 years ago everyone knew they would struggle and last year everyone knew they would be on the bubble.

Go throw your pity party somewhere else donkey

According to you

go check any poll before the last two seasons and theyll have Rangers in the playoffs

Only pity party around here is the Rangers, yet again, missing in a shortened year with a top offense

Your team was in the same division - with the Capitals, Bruins, Islanders and Penguins - No one annointed the Rangers as a playoff team and if they did they would be on the cusp. And top offense? Kreider who scored all his goals in 3 games?
Panarin who took a leave of absence?
Zibanejad's season long slump?

I get you hate the Rangers but your posts about them aren't very fair.

ducks will keep eakins as HC until they're a playoff contender again

If Rangers are smart they will try to transition to being a harder to play against team with tough systems and cycling/defense.

Their young stars are good enough to adapt and will usually get more leeway than most players. This style is what wins in the post season these days for less them stacked teams. Not much denying it.

With Eakins that might take a good minute.

Wait you mean Gusev didn’t become the next Panarin?

Weird, so the Rangers are a one man team
Youre saying?

ive been told Zibanejad is a top-10 C . Though he scores against two teams

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think Gallant will be a big factor in bringing the Rangers into a playoff and contending spot. Good fit but hope he and Drury don't end up having a falling out amongst eachother.

He and Trotz are going to be rivals again. From the 2018 finals to the 2021-22 season.

 

[Terry Yake]

With Eakins that might take a good minute.

eakins sucks, but the roster as it is just isn't good enough, especially the offense. don't think any coach would have success with that roster

No I am not saying that?

You've been told Zibanejad is a top 10 C? You can come up with your own conclusion. Look you clearly loathe the Rangers which is your right but I think you're letting your hatred skew your analysis.

Whatever is ailing you, I hope you can overcome.

DYNASTY HERE WE COME

 

[Jared Dunn]

This is the perfect signing for NYR. Now I really want to see one of their RFAs play hard ball in negotiations so things can stop conveniently falling in their lap lol

 

[Siludin]

I wouldn't want to be in the same division as the Rangers moving forward.

 

[Davenport]

Another successful coach not going to the Buffalo Sabres.

Yeah it's been a boulevard of green lights for the Rangers. These playoff runs have been amazing for NY. I was watching another NY team in the playoffs.

The Rangers had Lundqvist and didnt do anything with him

They have an amateur GM running their entire hockey ops now. You can bet theyll f*** something up yet again.

Panarin, Zibanejad, Fox, Trouba, and yet not one playoff game yet.

whats the excuse when they miss again next year in a harder division?

 

[Lays]

Thats whats been said about them for the last two seasons now

The Rangers announced a rebuild in February of 2018. It has been 3 1/2 years since. If you expected them to make the playoffs last year you’re not very bright, and they would have made the playoffs in any division but the East this past year, even with Zibanejad slumping hard and us dealing with injuries as well as the Tony D situation
