Islanders and Rangers might have a heated rivalry again since they'll now both compete.
Can they take extra Salary Back... 2, no 3 times Reaves Salary.This is a fantastic hire. Now all the Rangers have to do is trade a 2nd + a prospect for Reaves.
Didn't they go to or close to the finals a couple times with a pretty mediocre team with lundqvist?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?
Kakko has become a very strong two-way forward, and Lafreniere plays more of a power game than finesse.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

11 points is pretty far off.
Why not? Laf/Kakko have looked mediocre so far. Yea they have Panarin, Fox and Zibanejad but unless the other two hit their potential, I don't see what you would be afraid of.
When your 5’10”, 170 lb. Left Wing Superstar is willing to jump on the back of an enraged Tom Wilson; that is the definition of the word “tough”.Wont be a good hire; Rangers are a finesse and skill team, Gallant works well with tough systems and cycling/defense.

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
From what I understand he does not bode well with management and goes all out for his players which is why he does not last anyplace more than the 3 year shelf life of a coach in this league.And the coach who has been fired several times already gets a new gig in NHL. Pretty funny.
The D being bad was all Ruff and Quinn. When they brought in Martian that all changed and the D looked solid for most of the year. All until the last couple of weeks when they collapsed.I don't think they have what it takes to play a mature game yet. Gifted offensively but very soft and very porous defensively. Florida and Vegas both designed their teams for Gallant upon his arrival. I think the Rangers are going to be very active on the trade front to accommodate Gallant
11 points is pretty far off.
Yes, on a message board posting messages
You know where the Rangers are? Right next to New Jersey on the golf course. Though Rangers fans like to act high and mighty for a team that cant make the playoffs with a top-7 offense
And your 2022 Stanley Cup finalists... The New York Rangeeeeers!
I expect them to take a huge leap this year
Its gonna be helluva ride at least.
That Rangers team will be working so haaaaard that none have worked as hard before.
Players with low stamina levels, will not be in Gallants's favor.
- also, if you are not giving 110% in each game, you will not be getting much minutes,
there are no free loaders in team Gallant
PS. interesting how he is able to work with Rangers Russians (Georgiyev,Shestyorkin,Buchnevich,Kravtsov,Panarin),
Gallant's track record with Russian born players is not great
Thats deceiving. The Rangers mailed it in the last 4-5 games, and the gap got bigger to teams that had something to play for at that point in the season. The last month of the season they were absolutely in it, except the last 7-10 days.
& that is what we call an excuse.
