josh Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Damn, I so wish the Rangers had beat reporters that could really get some info - what went down during Quinn's COVID break (was he already going to be fired? did the players get in Drury's ear?) and then again during the exit interviews.

They do. Brooks and Carp both have a tight pulse and insider access. No one has been on the beat this year due to Covid. They're not in the room talking to players. Brooks was just on a Rangers podcast saying this recently, talking about how the year felt unfulfilling because he hasn't even met half the players.

josh Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Anyone think Quinn gets another NHL head coaching job? Maybe the Sabres bring him in for one last chance to keep Eichel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks has been pretty much garbage the last few years. Zipay and Gross were so much better. I mean, Colin, Vince and Molly ask basic questions, thats about it. Carp is more along the lines of Brooks, trying to make/tell his story rather than getting the good shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't disagree they don't seem to have a very good one. But they do have beat writers that get real info still. It's just lacking, overall.

Scott Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 If Knoblauch were a contender I think Martin would of been kept around, he did a good job with the D but could of also acted as a mentor. I think cleaning him out too is a indication we're headed in a different direction than moving Knoblauch up. Add Jack Capuano Patrick Roy Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Just don't see either of these guys being in the discussion, even a little.

Phil Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Knoblauch isn't a contender because he has the same experience, basically, that Quinn did. They're hiring a vet. Not a one- or two- or no-year coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I don’t want Torts or Tocchet. We’ve had Torts, and this team isn’t what he is used to. I wouldn’t mind Roy or Knobloch. Boudraux and Babcock kind of stoke me as possibilities as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Let's hire the first Euro head coach. Give me Jukka Jalonen or preferably Rikard Gronborg. Tops the list.... https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/31421880/the-top-rising-candidates-nhl-coach-gm-jobs Rikard Gronborg, ZCS Lions head coach Though he is coaching in Switzerland now, the 52-year-old Gronborg is best known as being the longtime head coach of the Swedish national team. A few years ago, Gronborg's agent, Neil Glasberg, brought the coach to North America to introduce him to NHL teams. Gronborg got great feedback, but ultimately NHL teams just haven't been willing to step out of their comfort zone and hire non-North American born coaches, despite the fact that European players now comprise 30% of NHL rosters. Though he is Swedish, Gronborg played college hockey at St. Cloud State in Minnesota, and he is married to an American. "Gronberg has coached almost every big-time Swedish player in the league right now and he has some big-time supporters," Glasberg told ESPN last year. "Nicklas Lidstrom in Detroit, Mats Sundin, Daniel Alfredsson. The Sedins. They're all Gronborg supporters." Knoblauch on there too btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 BRING PAPA TORTS HOME!!! I think the Torts folks are gonna get their wish this time. There's too many coincidences, and convenient things going on that points this in the direction of Torterella. Experienced head coach - Check Doesn't take any shit - Check Good ties to Drury - Check Dolan "likes him" - Check Conveniently recently "parted ways" with Columbus - Check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I don't get why Torts is an option. If these players didn't like Quinn, they will hate Torts. We have a bunch of Euros, Torts won't like them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Torts had no problem with "Euros." He had a problem with guys that had poor work ethics. They won't have that problem. The team is both highly-skilled and full of workers, with harder-nosed ones on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason you run this place, huh big fella!!! ;) I'm thinking if they do hire him, maybe Torts could be THAT guy that could FINALLY light a fire under Kreider's dead ass....

Because Panarin rode the bench to and 82 and an 87 point season under Torts. :rolleyes: As Phil mentioned, Torts values effort. Panarin succeeded under Torts once before. Can't see why he wouldn't again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Zibanejad and Panarin gonna be riding the bench in that case. Who wanted more Colin Blackwell? We're gonna get more Colin Blackwell. Myth. Panarin scored back-to-back near 30 goals and was better than point-per-game with Torts in Columbus. This narrative is so lazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I'm actually shocked. I'm glad, but I honestly didn't think Drury would pull the trigger. So far so good Droopy. The hiring you make to replace him can only improve the team IMO. While Martin did a good job with the D, you kind of have to allow who ever comes in, to bring their own staff.
