--

 

Murphy — who has also been an assistant for the Panthers and Flyers, the two teams with whom he spent the majority of his 14-year NHL career — replaces Jacques Martin, dismissed following the season.

 

The 61-year-old Kelly, who has served as an assistant on Gallant’s staff in Florida and Vegas (and in the QMJHL and, most recently, for Team Canada’s championship run in the recent World Championships), will act as the club’s eye-in-sky for two periods before joining the club behind the bench for the third period. Kelly is replacing Greg Brown.

 

The Rangers are still seeking a third assistant coach to in effect replace David Oliver, who was in charge of the forwards and power-play unit.

 

In addition, general manger Chris Drury and Hartford head coach Kris Knoblauch are conducting a search for an assistant to replace Murphy with the Wolf Pack.

Both Kelly and Murphy coached with Gallant prior to this (Vegas), so neither is even remotely surprising. The real question is... "who's the third man!?"

 

[The Dude]

Wasn't Murphy already here?

In Hartford.

Who coaches the power play? Worst job in hockey. Take all the blame for it struggling then the players receive the credit when it works.

Good news!!

Hulk Hogan new assistant confirmed. He will leg drop Allaire out of nowhere and be the new goalie coach/assistant.

I'd rather have Ric Flair....he's more of a "Glue guy"!! :rofl:

Sam: "Allaire is in the building! Go get 'im Bennster!"

 

Joe: "Yeah, but who's side is he on!?"

 

Sam: "What are you talkin' about!?"

[RangersIn7]

They should bring in Jim Schoenfeld on the basis of this alone….

Is Adam Oates strictly looking for a head coaching job?
