That is the best news I’ve heard from NYR in 4 years. Gorton did a crumby job assembling this team and JD is a dope. Next get rid of that college hockey coach. Dolan, like the rest of the NYR fan base, is probably pissed because the team is so soft despite being able to put up offense and have a great goal differential. The rosters have been way too soft and there is no reason to be playing scrubs like PDG, Bitetto, Johnson, etc when they could have other guys fills those roles. What happened Monday was an embarrassment and JD , DQ and JG were responsible for it piece of shit soft teams. I told you guys I’ve watch maybe 25 games in the last 3 years because the teams sucked and were boring. Dickhead Quinn not playing our #1 and #2 picks late in games.
How many times over the years have we wanted to see a Ranger kill Crosby, Ovi, Malkin, etc for shit they pull on the ice. But! You can’t! There are those unwritten rules. As Avery said in his book (I know you hate him Dump)as a rookie he was admonished by Brett Hull and the rest of the Wings bench “You do not talk to Mr. Sakic like that.” Here, we have one of the best players the Rangers have ever had on their roster get thrown around and slapped around by Wilson and nobody does shit. Imagine if that was Crosby or McDavid. Imagine if Panarin hit his head and that was the end of his career. We’ve seen it with Sauer and Boogaard
Disagree with you there. This team is stacked with young talent, so much so it needs to consolidate via trade because there aren't enough spots for everyone. In my opinion these firings are a year too early as i think this summer is when they would have had to make that big move for a top center and see if this team can contend. The unfortunate thing is a new guy will come in and shake the tree for the sake of shaking it and putting his stamp and it may not be the best thing. Also, how do you fire them but not the coach?
Dolan is such a dope. He has no business being a (multiple! *thanks, dad!*) professional sports team owner. Can't wait until his reign is over.
Brooks is saying Drury may take over as the GM with possibly Mark Messier coming on as team president.
With all due respect, anyone who thinks this is a positive is an idiot. This is the worst news we have received in a LONG time. Candidly this sours me on everything we are doing. How in the holy F does Dolan fire JD and Gorton? He has always stayed out of the Rangers business, and now he goes and does this. Disgraceful. Do you realize what happened here. He issues a letter 3 years ago (Dolan signed onto the letter), we build and grow faster than anyone could have expected, of course we were going to struggle to win for a few years (you don't issue a self-proclaimed rebuild letter and then not expect losing seasons and missing the playoffs), and right when we were about to turn the corner and see the fruits of the labor (again faster than ANYONE could expect in year 4), he fires everyone. Every Rangers fan should be down today, because this set us back big time, and shows how disfunctional we are. We are a joke of an organization and are totally F'd. DISGRACE!!!
This is SPOT ON. Absolutely a year too early. If the Rangers struggled next year all 3 of them (I include Quinn) could have been gone, but to do it now right on the edge of big things is ridiculous. We are a total laughing stock of an organization...period. To me the coach is a formality now. Guessing he didn't fire him also since it's a game day and 3 games left. Let him finish it out and then gone. And oh BTW - you fire them with 3 games left - that's bush league. At least wait until next week if you were going to be a joke and fire everyone.
I disagree. I think this is great news. Again, we don't know what happened between Monday and today. I am sure the Wilson incident has something to do with this. If players went to Quinn and management and Gorton/JD did nothing then I understand.
If the new guy IS Drury then I don't see a tree shaking to put his stamp on things. He's been the assistant for a while now and I think he'll make a solid GM. Not sure why Davidson got canned, this smells of Dolan wanting Quinn out and both guys disagreeing with him. Then he leaves Quinn because the season is over in 3 games.
With all due respect strud, you are ignorant on this. The team went into a self-proclaimed rebuild 3 years ago. If you expected wins and cups that's on you. PATIENCE...and we were doing an AWESOME job of being patient and staying the course and sticking to the plan, and building an epic base of talent that simply needed to be finished off this summer. And then Dolan does this and sets it all back. It also shows how much of a scum bag Dolan is. Sends a letter saying rebuild and patience, then he fires his GM and President less then 3 full seasons later, and JD in 2 years - after you F'ING kidding me. He is a disgrace and I am really fearful no one will want to come work for a guy who cannot be trusted at all. Look at how he has killed the Knicks until this year where he has stayed out of it. This is very concerning. Up until today I have always said for hockey Dolan is fine as an owner, he just kills my Knicks. That all changed today my friends.
This is probably why they got canned.. Seems the letter sent to the NHL offices complaining about Parros being ineffectual came from Dolans office, not Quinn or Davidson. New York Rangers fire GM Jeff Gorton, president John Davidson, source says (espn.com)
If I'm being honest I thought Quinn wasn't doing a good job. I don't see why you'd fire the GM/President who have pretty much stacked the team with talent. My only guess is Dolan got angry with them and wants tougher people in those spots and probably at the HC spot as well. I'd be just fine with Drury and Messier in those roles. Davidson was basically invisible in his President's role. Again I wouldn't have fired either of them, I wanted Quinn out.
Here's the miss - this season, last season, the season prior had NOTHING to do with wins and losses and making the playoffs. AGAIN - you don't issue a letter saying we are rebuilding, and then have the youngest team in the NHL, have almost no vets, all young dmen, new goalies etc. and then fire the people running things. That is a disgrace. You cannot say have patience this is a reboot for long term gain, and then fire everyone in less than 3 seasons. JOKE.
Hey NYR Fan, Yes, if we develop according to plan, but we are not. Stupid Quinn is not developing this Quinn correctly, which is what we have been complaining about all season. If JD/Gorton would not part with Quinn, then Dolan had no choice. Quinn is a bad coach. He did not develop this team and pieces the right way. LFA should not have been playing on the 3rd line. LFA 1st line, Kakko 2nd, Gauthier 3rd, and when Kravtsov came back, he should not have been on the 4th line at all this year. So I am not sure what you are talking about.
Look at this line: It's a stunning move considering the Rangers are just on the tail end of a rebuild, one they completed ahead of schedule. SPOT ON. And if Dolan went around everyone and sent his comments on Parros, once again he is a JOKE. He is the issue here, and today is a disgraceful day.
You have got to be kidding me with this. Forget your Quinn nonsense, but you think Dolan goes rogue and is a joke, as he always has been owning the Knicks, and fires JD and Gorton because they don't want to fire Quinn, and then he keeps Quinn. PLEASE STOP...I AM BEGGING YOU.
