Kevin Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Can’t go much lower than this: Well at least we're in the top 10....for the draft that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 The 4th or 5th pick is in reach if we give Hank increased breaks and we make a handful of trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 You know what I'm really afraid of? Their going to make excuses that we were too injured to compete, and they're going to keep Mr. Softee back there behind the bench for yet another painful year. I know some of you guys love him, but he's really just a terrible bench coach. Nice guy, yeah....but Jesus, he is just awful in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Gorton really fucked up with the AV extension. I hope he can see past the injury excuse and see a completely flawed team other than goaltending.

4EverRangerFrank Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 If Gorton doesn't see past the smoke and mirrors saying he got "good looks" instead, and KEEPS AV, then he is delusional at best, utterly moronic to be nice a a freakin'-frackin' A-hole to boot.

I also don't think AV will be the coach next season. No need to fire him now. If they wanted to save the season they would have fired him in November. They'll start over in July.

Get Quenville or Keefe or some other young stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I know Dallas Eakins didn’t fair well in EDM but no one does. He’s got a really good track record. Took the Gulls deep in the playoffs this year. He’s a former Ranger. Knows the organization a little. Why not give him an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Generally speaking. It's always the coach's fault; not the players on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire AV immediately after the last game. Find the best guy available and not lose him to another team. This is the Head Coach of the NY Rangers, the best job available. Mgmt gives our coaches plenty of rope, money and resources. We are the best rebuilding team out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with that is that the best coach may not become available until after the season (Joel Quenneville) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I know it won't happen, but my dream would be Babcock. Still mad we didnt go for him in 2015 after the ECF loss to Tampa. He is the perfect coach to have in/after a rebuild. Exact opposite of AV when it comes to rookies. Quenville would be nice aswell.

Future Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Why do people think Quenneville is a good coach? Or a coach that can lead you successfully through a rebuild? Any success he's had has been entirely dependent on having more talent than other teams. It's pretty easy when you can have Toews or Kane on the ice for 40 minutes a game and Keith on the ice for 30. Now that age and the cap have started to catch up with them, they're irrelevant - this will, presumably, be the third year in a row they don't win a playoff series.

Ozzy Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'd like to entertain possibly a new face back there....someone that may be really great but hasn't had a chance yet. Phil brought up Keefe but I don't know very much about him. I'd like some new fire back there for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me a good coach and I'll show you a good goalie. But let's not revise history here. He's taken plenty of youngsters to new heights. More than just Toews and Kane and Keith. Panarin, Bryan Bickell, Dave Bolland, Troy Brouwer, Andrew Ladd, Brent Seabrook, Dustin Byfuglien, Niklas Hjalmarsson, and Kris Versteeg were all 22 or younger when he took over. He also worked 19-year old Nick Leddy, 19-year old Brandon Saad, 20-year old Andrew Shaw, 19-year old Teuvo Teravainen, 20-year old Ryan Hartman, and 20-year old Nick Schmaltz into key roles.

Phil brought up Keefe but I don't know very much about him. I'd like some new fire back there for a change. 130-56-12 record through 198 games.That’s a That’s 270 points out of a possible 396 — a 0.68 points percentage (PTS%). Granted, it’s at the AHL level, but it’s a very impressive number. The most successful NHL coaches—Scotty Bowman, Bruce Boudreau, Jon Cooper, Joel Quenneville, Mike Babcock, Ken Hitchcock, and Todd MacLellan—are somewhere between .65 and .60 PTS%. Claude Julien, Mike Sullivan, and Alain Vigneault are just below that mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know absolutely nothing about him, and I'll tell you what...I knew nothing of some guy Arbour when he started coaching THAT team across town. He seemed to do fairly well, if I remember correctly. I would like to see a new, hungry coach that has something to prove. Matter of fact, I'd welcome it with open arms!
