    My mistake. I finally thought we had a real coach. I should have stuck to my original plan all along. That was they had the future head coach in Hartford in Knoblauch. Now we have Renney part fucking 2. Play low talent scrubs over talented players. Take your best young offensive talent and give them no ice time until you eventually refuse to play them at all. Mutherfucker. This dumbass organization can't get out of their own way.

    So to recap, they bring in a vet reject in Nemeth and don't play Hajek who was good last year. They sit out Lundkvist after his first career point to play a non NHL talent in Tinordi. They put Lafreniere on a line with Chytil who sucks and Blais who is a 4th line player. They refuse to put Lafreniere and Kakko on the first PP unit and play Strome and Kreider there when the PP is never in the top 10 even with Fox and Panarin on it. They play Hunt and McKegg who have no talent over Barron who was our best faceoff guy in the pre-season and who averages a PPG in the AHL. Now they move Lafreniere to the 4th line where he has no chance of ever doing anything offensively. Did I leave anything out? This organization is doomed.

    YES!!!! I was waiting for this. You might have broken your record on this one. I actually think it is faster than your official fire Gorton, Quinn, AV, Torts etc. threads.

    Awesome. Well played sir.

    Surprised no official fire Drury thread, he may be in over his head.

    I put moron Chuck back on ignore. I assume he thinks putting Lafreniere on the 4th line is a good thing. I wonder what the dumb fuck will say when Kakko or Lafreniere demands a trade. He probably will say it's all their fault.

    Chuck's playbook is unbelievably predictable. The coach is always right. The players are always wrong. The GM is a genius. Igore the results. Under Torts the team could never score. Under AV, the team got worse and worse defensively. Quinn had zero to no ability to develop forwards or make the correct personnel decisions. Gallant sadly is already following Quinn's habits but is leaning a lot more towards Renney. The future of this organization in Lafreniere and Kakko are being spit on. Honestly, it looks like Kakko, Lafreniere and even Chytil are already quitting on this coach and we are 10 games in. One can only assume they are talking with each other wonder why the fuck this coach keeps sucking off Strome and Kreider on our shitty PP and how he never disciplines Zibanejad or Panarin for sucking dong at even strength.

    I found it hilarious that lunatic Gallant stated in the Post that putting Lafreniere on the 4th line was putting him in the best position to succeed. We have a maniac behind our bench and it looks like several of our most talented forwards are not playing for this guy.

    This team might have 2 wins without Igor. I expect them to be embarrassed tonight. Watch them win 6-1. This organization is in enormous trouble. They have shown no desire or clue how to develop the first and second overall pick in the draft. Sadly, shit goes down hill. I smell Dolan for the first time in a while. Dumb fuck seems like he thinks this team is ready to contend for a cup. I'm getting the feeling he is ordering Drury what to do. So, while I am blaming Gallant and rightly so with no proof that Dolan is fucking the team up, I'm not ruling it out. It's been a long time since I thought midget Dolan was fucking the Rangers up.

    I don't think they guy who used to post under a different user name is not holding Drury accountable. Almost all of us said he didn't fulfill their biggest need this past off-season when he failed to make a move for a 2C, including chuck. I'd be shocked it he thought LaF on the 4th line was a wise move even with all of his "we don't know more than the coaches". I'm certainly one of those types and even I can see that moving him to the 4th line is catastrophic for his development.
    It's also indisputable this team would be one of the bottom 5 teams in the league if not for Igor.
    Gallant is making some horrible decisions so far and it's going to cost them at some point. I fully expect them to get trounced tonight too. Draisaitl and McDavid are otherworldly. RNH as a 3rd C is an embarrassment of riches. I'll be pulling for the Rangers but won't be shocked and might even make a little $$$ if it goes the way I suspect.

    Not worth it Grey, the guy lives in fantasy land. All I have said from the start is Drury clearly dropped the ball, including in another thread this morning, and I think he is in over his head in the job. Also, because I don't start fire the coach or GM threads 10 games into their tenure, means I think the coach is always right. It is not ridiculous or irrational at all to ask for people to be fired days/weeks into their jobs...no not at all. After all we clearly know better.

    This board enables the guy also. He is ignorant, uses disgusting language, and thinks he has all the answers to everything, and you guys all placate him. That is fine, but that's what he feeds off of. His presence on other boards is almost non-existent because the posters call him what he is. Here we cheer it. It truly is what it is, but it is still funny. The guy is lost and ignorant, and everyone knows it, I am just the only one who battles him on it (and maybe a few others).

    Grevy, I agree the fake I’m not chuck fan LMAO doesn’t think Laf on the 4th line is a good idea. I’m not a fan so far of what gallant is doing both with lines and personnel but still early and he’s probably still feeling out what he has. This team is sorely lacking scoring and with zman and the breadman still in a coma it looks worse. I hated kravtsov not making the team as he has offensive potential and has shown he can put the puck in the net. Playing tinordi in any game at the expense of lundqvist is always a mistake. I do have to say haven’t really been that impressed with lundqvist as I was watching Schneider in the PS and wouldn’t mind that switch being made. Don’t know gallants logic playing guys like hunt on the PP. By the way if I didn’t suck so bad on the computer I would have shown you guys a beautiful goal by kravtsov yesterday in his first khl game ( 2 goals and an assist including the OT winner) that was an amazing move. If any of you guys follow Vince mercogliano on Twitter he has the goal and you can see it. I think we need to be patient and give gallant 20 games to see what adjustments he makes along the line. He must realize that he needs more offense and has to remove some of the grit in the lineup for it. If he doesn’t along with his defense which allows more wide open shots from in front of the net On IGOR who has been absolutely amazing I’ll be agreeing with dump. The next 3 games in 4 days is an unbelievable test to get the temperature of where this team is at. I hate the games that start at 9 and 10pm as I’ll be falling asleep head first in my ice cream trying to watch them.

    And he has the balls to say he gets the feeling Dolan is pulling Drury's strings as if he came up with that - I said it the minute Gorton/JD were fired and Drury was promoted in over his head. Of course Dolan, and Sather on some level, are pulling Drury's strings. I said that months ago. Not breaking news that he is just stating today.

    If that’s true about Dolan pulling drury’s strings like he did with the Knicks disaster for years that will be very bad for our rangers and I hope it’s not happening. I always thought of drury as a smart player and I hope he’ll be that as the GM. I really want kravtsov back on this team even though now it’ll have to wait till khl season is over. We can’t keep losing top 10 picks. Anderson I always thought was a reach and even though I wanted wahlstrom with the pick kravtsov has the offensive talent we need. Must keep in mind kakko and Laf are still very young and just must be patient with them they their growing pains. Hopefully that comes sooner than later

    For sure, finding offense/puck possession/goal scoring is a huge need for the Rangers right now but moving the #1 overall pick down to the 4th line seems like the very wrong move on the surface. He has been tweaking the lines pretty frequently in the first 10 games, I believe Goodrow has played on all 4 lines. Laf will have as well by the end of the game tonight. Some of that has been driven by injuries/covid so I get it.

    Drury is his own man, he is making decisions I believe that is true, he isn't a puppet, but Dolan and Sather are certainly in his circle from what I see, and I think he shares a lot of the same ideas they do, which is why he was put in the role to start with. I said it then and I'll say it now, as soon as Gorton/JD were fired out of the blue I thought it was a terrible sign for this organization. It has Dolan written all over it, with a side helping of Sather, and that is a disaster.

    I would be very surprised if anyone in here true felt this organization is better off with Drury then JD running the show. I don't believe anyone thinks that. And I know it is popular now to knock Gorton, but the guy did a whole lot of good here, even if he didn't address the grit need as quickly as he should have. And there were signs with JD on board the grit need was going to be addressed, we saw it start in the draft. So yeah to me that was a dark day, and told me back to the old way, which is not good, and I said it that very day.

    I was going to give this asswipe at least a couple of years. I am not so sure now after seeing this idiot coach. I don't care about this fake record. Gallant said he loves the record lol. Have you seen your team play?

    Mollie Walker mentioned Lafrenierre and Gallant jumped down her throat. In case you don't think people read hockey chat boards or twitter. He's starting to get ripped a lot for his stupidity on Kakko and Lafreniere. A poster on HF made a good point about how Kakko's game didn't go with Panarin and Strome. Thinking maybe he is right. Not a Chytil fan but at this point I'd rather see Lafreniere-Chytil-Kakko as the third line. I get the feeling like Panarin doesn't even want to include Kakko with his line. I see no effort to incorporate him. Put Barron on the Strome or Zibanejad line. This team sucks ass on faceoffs again. Something must be done. Our future is now looking very bleak.

    Disappointed to see Laf got less than 10min of ice yesterday. As someone already said (think it was Dump), Laf and Kakko should be getting 18-20min a game in all situations.

    Don’t understand our number 1OA pick playing less than 10 minutes on the 4th line with 2 spastics. Kakko needs to get off the Panarin line since for whatever reason Panarin and strome don’t pass to him and ignore him. Chytil looked great yesterday with Laf off his line so I don’t know what to make of that. Gallant need to ride Igor who is young until he actually needs a rest. Georgiev sucks ass and should only play against a crap team. Very frustrating watching them blow a 4-1 and then a 5-4 lead with 3 minutes left. That game is a 5-2 win with Igor in the nets. As good as Mcdavid is and he is great he shouldn’t be able to skate thru 4 rangers by himself without someone knocking him on his ass. With the division we’re in we can’t afford to give up points no matter how early in the season and we gave one away yesterday. Another pet peeve already with gallant; in OT why Is kakko never in there instead of Goodrow and slow as shit trouba who compounded things with a mind numbing icing in OT when he is is full possession of the puck. OT’s are for speed and offense and we shouldn’t have slow offenseless players out there. If lundqvist who is supposed to be an offensive player can’t be out there in OT over trouba what the hell good is he. Figure it out quick gallant as outside of one game and the first half of yesterday the rangers have been outplayed every game and if not for wIgor doing his Hank in his prime imitation and stealing games we’d be under. 500 right now. I couldn’t sleep last after that giveaway said a game.

    It’s clear that Gallant is here to get them to the playoffs and not to develop prospects. Half ass rebuild is over. Kakko and Laf will need to figure out on their own. Kreider said last year this is not a development league. Go to AHL and develop there. They did that with CK when he was 21.
