Vegas with 2 cup appearances and 1 win within its first 6 or so years? And not a single 30+ goal scorer this season. Whats the secret?

He cant get much better than hes been...and we still havent been a contender - and thats with him taking up only modest cap space. So unless a change in coaching style makes a huge difference and were able to contend while leaning on him heavily - than hes gotta go, and ideally for a nice haul.

Well if drury is not willing to even grant roy an interview, and goes ahead and makes the uninspiring (ie. Hynes or Laviollete) hire that fails miserably, i may not be opposed to having his head on the chopping block.

Yes. F'n yes. Roy is the kind of personality this emotionless corpse of a team needs.

Maybe he knocks laf down to the ahl...thatll make for some heated threads...

How bout just not look like total dog shit in half of our playoff games...that would be a welcome improvement over the last 2 seasons.

wtf can't panarin play RW? for 11.6m he should be able to. he does do pretty well adapting to various placement on the pp, i think. kreider-zib-panarin and if he doesnt like it he can agree to a trade...

Actually i recall he regularly admitted to leaving all the goaltending decisions to benny

I would think Drury has a much longer leash than some here are suggesting. He was heir apparent for a while, before confidently being given the reins in place of his highly experienced and accomplished predecessors. He certainly had the rangers stacked and loaded for a legitimate cup run this season - and i don't think anyone was expecting gallant and this team to perform as miserably as they did. Unless the rangers don't make the playoffs in these coming two seasons, i wouldn't expect him to be on the chopping block.

it doesn't have to be that guys threw him under the bus, but just didn't offer a ringing endorsement... kinda like the feedback Trouba & Goodrow gave the media - not exactly inspiring. and if you're going to give a guy who just failed miserably at getting a top-notch talent team out of the first round, you better have guys who say they'd battle to the death next year for the guy

When panarin goes to look at the tablet after a missed breakaway, it'll flash "u f'n suck!"

henrik for coach

Trouba doesn't exactly have a golden tongue...but his 'endorsement' of gallant was as flat as a could be

Q or no Q - there's no chance they hold onto gallant. none. i think we're forgetting that there was a good few weeks in the first half of the season when it looked like GG could be gone - this team didn't just start looking abysmal in the first round against the devils. hopefully drury has a good lay of the land on replacement possibilities, including Q, since he HAD to have started considering options earlier in the season.

Surprised at how even keel gallant was in this last presser.

Right - thats why its worth seeing him in at least one other system under a better coach...and if hes still a problem after that then u can talk about moving heaven and hell to push him out

I didnt watch those teams, but i doubt either of them looked as pathetic in a single one of there games let alone three

If panarin goes, dont see why ude then move goodrow.

When ur teams overall speed is severely dragging the opponent, no individual player can overcome that. And panarin certainly did not play any slower than the rest. Put him in the middle of a fast puck moving/skating team and hell be fine.

At 11.6m , yes, panarins a problem. But not as big a problem as gallant. And theres a decent chance a different coach could have him back into being a net positive.

Its been pointed out - this 1st round disaster was very nearly the result we had last season. Wonder where wed be today if that happened.

Now that its over..im relieved. Last years playoffs was a near disgrace a few times...this regular season, very little consistency and way below potential. Now at least its obvious a significant change needs to be made. I was thinking its just gallant thats gotta go...but this game finally has me seeing that more aggressive changes to the roster may be necessary.

Shesty should be captain next year

The devils ARE good, tbh. And they could be this good and better for the next decade... Were fucked

Dont blame the announcers...they have to pretend like theres actually some excitement in this game
