I think we at least give Gallant one more game after this, the Devil's have been unstoppable as of late so you probably want to crystalize your direction based on a more relative quantity. But, times ticking.

I’m pro Gallant. I know a lot of people here are and a lot aren’t. I’m not looking to start a debate over his positives and negatives.

 

But, I honestly for the first time would not be surprised to see something happen there. I think it’s getting close to “do something” time for Drury. And there isn’t a whole lot that he can do.

While that's true, I really don't think that means you wait to do something or else it'll be a few more days of this crap. Doing it now is by no means a knee jersey reaction. I don't care how great the Devils look.

Foregone conclusion my friend

I hate the Devils, but I wish the Rangers played like them.

Kind of curious why you are pro-Gallant?

Their rebuild has gone much better than ours. Far superior players and just better depth.

Somebody wanna go attack the puck and stop watching them pass the puck in circles

One more game?  They've been shit vs. terrible teams before the Devils game....This should just be the icing on the cake.  If you can't get up for a rival team that is across the river from you, then you need to be canned.  

 

Yup especially a rival that's been dominating the league and it would've been a statement game for the Rangers to have a bounce back win tonight, but man they can't even fucking get up for that. 

[The Dude]

Serious question.  Is Goodrow playing tonight?

I understand, but optically - you're firing a coach for not being able to beat the best team in the league right now.

 

I know the context is important, but it doesn't land.

According to my sources, there is a taxi out in front of Madison square garden

And drafting. And coaching selection(s)

I mean this honestly, I think I'd rather have Blair Betts at his original cap hit over Goodrow.

I think he's the guy on the bench eating nachos with Lafreniere 

[jamsim1967]

I think changes have to be made, but not sure what a new coach (assuming its Trotz) can do with this team. They just can't seem to play for a full 60

Optically they suck and have no will or mettle.

They go after every loose puck, and seem to believe that every loose puck is rightfully theirs

Actually a new coach would probably help that seeing as they clearly don't respect this one.

[torontonyr]

How we approach this third period, win or lose, will dictate a lot of our future imo

[NYRangers93]

They’re all skating off with that puss look on their face. You guys did it to yourselves. Get out if it.

Both things can be true.
