If They Fire Quinn, When?

No, you’re not. He was dreadful as a coach. Made the playoffs in his first year, and got progressively worse each season. And they had a pretty decent team each of those years

On an absolute PDO bender. Completely flamed out. He's a Junior coach.

MESSIER

I know some don't agree but he certainly wouldn't tolerate loafing and is a winner

I want a Coach who would call a timeout and Scream at the team "Cindy? you let Cindy not once but twice on the same shift run our goalie?"

That is when I lost any respect I still had for JQ!

It starts from JD the GM , Quinn and all the players.All are acountable for the way this team keeps getting run and just takes it ….. Sather would not let this happen.

Preliminary word is that NYR Artemi Panarin won’t play the rest of the season

I don't understand the replacement debate. If they fire Quinn and the replacement isn't Knoblach then they really are morons. He was a rising star as a coach to begin with, connects with younger players better and is way more likable and consistent to all of his players.

The star players basically turned their seasons around when he stepped in and then simply carried that momentum after. It was no coincidence. Quinn was always a stupid hire, so it's already obvious they are stupid. A college coach to coach a bunch of skilled Euros? Choosing Quinn over Sheldon Keefe in the first place was a colossal mistake. But then again we wouldn't have Kakko and Laf that way, so let's just make it right now that we can.

I know he was a great player for us in 94 but he is not the answer to every problem the rangers ever have lol

I feel like no matter what position needs to be filled Messier is suggested by someone.

Dude has no coaching experience

Boom. I think Knoblauch was always going to be their guy anyway to replace Quinn for all of the reasons you already stated. So, it's only a matter of time, like hopefully after the season is over. lol

I don't know why but this made me laugh out loud legit lol Probably because his name actually does come up as the answer to every problem the Rangers ever have.

I don't think Quinn is going anywhere anytime soon. If anything, they're reimagining the team more in his image (think Greenway, Tkachuk, etc).

Based on the events of this afternoon, my guess is that Quinn will be released a week into the off-season.

That long? I say the morning after their season is over

It better be like AV, right after the last game......3:00 PM game on Saturday, so 8:00 PM would be my call for his firing.

Messier on the Kaye show

1- blames the rangers for having no answer for Wilson, repeatedly said he would not of built the roster the way it was built. He pretty clearly didn't have much of a problem if at all with what Wilson did. Made a reference to if you go to the net and do what Buch did there you could expect it to get nasty. You have to be able to win in the street and the alley and they're not built that way.

2- said he could without question step in and coach (1000%) any team at this point even with no coaching experience (has since clarified that via a text to Kaye that said he doesn't want to coach the Rangers)

3- as for the Rangers he's made it very clear to them many times over the years he wants to step in and be more involved in FO/coaching etc

4- when asked what happened today - he said he had no idea he's been very disconnected from the day to day goings on for many years now. Certainly sounded like when he would throw his hat into the ring in the past they picked it up and threw it back out of the ring

5- when asked about Drury he said in summary he didn't know him well enough to comment

6- really was more interested in hawking selling his memorabilia.

Im not even saying messier would be bad, he might not be, i just dont get what his logic is in thinking he is qualified for any of this.

I hope they don't get him involved it will be Roger Neilson part 2 with Drury getting the shit end of the stick.

Messier as President? I don't see Drury doing both jobs full time. We'll see.

I wouldn't mind this, honestly. I don't want him as a coach, but wouldn't mind him being around the team, maybe even working with the young guys on face-offs, stepping into the locker room on big game days and saying something to him. I think his presence around the younger guys would help. Someone needs to light a fire under this teams ass, and I can't think of anyone better to do it.

I wouldn't mind it either. I mentioned it another thread that the fire that was initially lit under this team's ass when Torts was here has slowly died down over the years and now is merely embers, if that. Last night really doesn't change the root of the problem, even though I give them credit for doing it.

we only love Mess for '94. everything that happened involving Mess after was detrimental to the organization.

Basically. Ask Canucks fans how much they loved Messier when he played for them. lol It's not pretty.
