Sharpshooter Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger · 4m I’m told the firing of Gorton and Davidson by NYR is coincidental and not related to the statement issued yesterday related to Tom Wilson. Another source says ownership felt the Rangers underachieved this season. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk I really don't think either of them had anything to do with the Rangers "underachieving". Even they said that playoffs were not likely anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Assistant GM Chris Drury is believed to be the leading candidate to fill the post of GM while Dolan conducts a hunt for a president that is expected to have Mark Messier at the top of the wish list. Drury has been part of the Blueshirts’ management team for six years and an assistant GM for five. The next GM will make the decision on the fate of head coach David Quinn, who has two years remaining on his contract. But a divergence of philosophies emerged between Dolan and the Davidson-Gorton ticket, with sources indicating that the CEO believes that it is time to take the next step in this process while the front office people have continued to preach patience and a longer-view panoramic take of situation. As well, it is believed that the hockey hierarchy’s collection of skill players at the expense of will players did not sit well with Dolan. The recent mismatches against the Islanders highlighted the team’s deficiencies in grit and leadership and may have accelerated, if not prompted, this stunning decision. https://nypost.com/2021/05/05/rangers-fire-john-davidson-jeff-gorton-in-shocking-move/?utm_source=twitter_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site%20buttons&utm_campaign=site%20buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I guess we'll get a reading on how hard Drury is latched onto Dolan's balls here pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Keep Messier the hell away from this team. lmao i said it the other day I will never understand this fascination people have with getting Messier to run this team.

Ranger Lothbrok Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Oh Jesus. You're telling me we're two years into a rebuild and Dolan ran out of patience? Well, who's ready for the same shit, different decade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Now that the Knicks are finally looking good again, Dolan decided he needs to fuck up his other franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Here's what this is: Dolan is super fucking horny because the Knicks are good all of a sudden and he wants a re-run of the 90s. He's been quiet for years, letting Gorton and Co. do their thing. Then the Knicks are good and he's back calling the shots? No coincidence people.

paddynyc Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 We are now a major shit show and if you don't believe that look at the Knicks anytime Dolan gets involved. This is fucking bad all around and they couldn't wait until the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonybologna Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 This is wild, I feel better knowing that statement came from some corporate suits/dolan and not a hockey guy like JD, because that statement was one of the bitchiest things I've ever read while I do agree with the content of it.

Chuck_IV Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 This is the reason why MSG sports suck. Dolan continues to think he actually knows what he’s doing and doesn’t have a CLUE. Absolutely ridiculous, especially on JD. He just hired him! What an idiot Dolan is. We will never win a cup(nor will the Knicks a title) with him in control.
