RJWantsTheCup Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I'm glad the decision was made quickly. I fully expect the forum to be complaining about the new coach by next Valentine's Day. I doubt it takes that long. Someone will be complaining as soon as the new coach is hired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 There are a lot of good options out there. I would personally love to see Gallant here. But I’m not opposed to other options, such as Julien, Torts, etc. As I stated earlier, this had to be done now. Because if we kept Quinn and got out of the gate struggling, it would be a less than ideal situation for a young team like this, who would have to hear whispers everyday about whether or not their coach would be fired. Drury was right to do this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Good riddance! Every single person in the organization who had any responsibility for bringing in Jack Johnson is now officially gone and that's the way it should be. It was inexcusable and unprofessional. Glad to see they made it right. Coach should be Knoblauch. Drury was behind the bench coaching with him when they filled in and the team went off, so he should know that. If not him I would guess Tocchet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The correct decision. Could maybe have hung on to Martin, but it makes sense to let the new guy start with a clean slate and the staff of his choosing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drury was right to do this now. I'm hoping they go after Gallant as well. I'm intrigued to see what he could accomplish with this roster. Although I really hope Torts is off their shopping list. If there were complaints about how Quinn coached this team, those complaints will multiple tenfold under Torts. Just don't think he'd be the right fit for this roster at this stage, maybe if it were 2-3 seasons down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I want a recent ex-player. I'll scrounge up a list soon. I think I mentioned Drury, but I dont think that's an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and if Torts comes back it most likely means that Dolan is going to be more hands on than we think which could...no, will...be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like a Russian assistant, but Zubov and Kovalev just both got head coaching jobs in the KHL. Zubov would have been great for the D. We'll probably get Girardi and have our whole D laying down in front of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 We wouldn't be Rangers fans if we didn't complain about the coach. That will never change no matter who is behind the bench. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Does Hartford exude a tough 'you don't push us around' mentality? Yes, and he also sticks with his line combos and plays his best players more. We saw it in the games he coached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I want a recent ex-player. I'll scrounge up a list soon. I think I mentioned Drury, but I dont think that's an option. What's Dom Moore up to? Jay Leach - coaching Providence (1st in div), played for Bruins, so those boxes are checked. Groulx - been doing a great job, year after year in Syracuse turning out prospects that jump in at the NHL level. Not an ex-NHLer, but I like the recent history. Kevin Dineen - coaching AHL's top scoring team. Ex NHL. Chicago Blackhawks (2014–2018) On July 14, 2014, Dineen was named as an assistant coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, joining the staff of Joel Quenneville, who had been his teammate for six seasons when they both played for the Hartford Whalers.[6] As an assistant coach for the Blackhawks, Dineen won his first Stanley Cup on June 15, 2015. On November 6, 2018, Dineen was fired along with Quenneville and assistant coach Ulf Samuelsson.[7] Roy - I've mentioned before Tocchet - Not on the top of my list, but would be fine with him.
