According to multiple reports, the New York Rangers have agreed in principle with Alain Vigneault.
Things have escalated quickly. Now, it seems it's just a matter of Alain Vigneault and the New York Rangers sorting out the details.
The Hawks and Bruins will empty their tanks in every contest until one team is left shattered on the ice and the wobbly-legged victors lift the Stanley Cup above their heads.
Jagr's wait to return to the Finals has taken him beyond 20 years. Here's to hoping that he makes the most of his opportunity and turns back the clock by making a big impact for the Bruins at the big dance.
Dan Bylsma's accomplishments as a whole are hugely impressive for a 42-year-old coach. The Penguins would be foolish to fire Bylsma. He would be welcomed by the Rangers' organization with open arms.
It's not about a coach forcing a style of play down his players' throats. Those days are over. That's the lesson of John Tortorella's painful regime.
Former NHL defenseman Mathieu Schneider, special assistant to NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr, said a "clear majority" of players supported grandfathering visors.
The list of candidates to become next Rangers coach has grown to Alain Vigneault, Mark Messier, Lindy Ruff, Wayne Gretzky and Dallas Eakins.
Forwards Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin underwent surgery to repair torn labrums in their left shoulders. Both players will likely need 4-5 months to recover.
"Oh, I had a huge smile on my face, no question about it," ex-Ranger Sean Avery told the New York Post on Thursday. "It's not that I'm happy for myself. I'm happy for the Rangers and Ranger fans."
Glen Sather must find a coach who understands that the Rangers need to develop their offensive instincts. Tortorella crushed players like Marian Gaborik, those who wanted to put the puck in the net. The next coach can't be so limited in his outlook.
His coaching resume lacks the polish of Vigneault and Ruff, but he speaks the players' language, and maybe that's exactly what the Rangers need after Tortorella squeezed the confidence out of this team.
Rangers GM Glen Sather was vague when pressed for reasons why coach John Tortorella was fired. But multiple reports said the push to move on actually came from the players' exit meetings.
The Rangers fired combative coach John Tortorella on Wednesday, four days after New York was eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs.
