There was no reason to delay, there was no reason to have a situation of type Gerard Gallant 2.0.
There was no doubt that Peter Laviolette had to be Relieved of their heading tasks of their rangersAfter the head of the second year bank supervised one of the most pronounced falls from one season to another in the NHL history.
The Rangers became official on Saturday afternoon to avoid trotting Laviolette on the day of rupture on Monday to face scrutiny, unlike Gallant, which was could three days after asking questions after the first round of the team two years.
Now it is as clear as then when a new beginning is needed.
There was no need to drag it.
Then, the Rangers are looking for their fourth coach since the 2020-21 season, with Laviolette after Gallant (2021-23) and David Quinn (2018-21) in the last four years.
The associated chief coach Phil Housley was also fired, but the assistant coaches that Muse and Michael Peca will have the opportunity to interview for the next coaching staff, according to a source.
“When leading to the season, given the success we had in recent years, we had high expectations. We simply fell short in all areas,” said President and General Manager Chris Dury at a telephone conference on Saturday. “No one here takes it lightly. We know that our fans are frustrated and deserve a better season than this. I start doing a better job and give the opportunity for success.
“And why, ultimately, I made the decision a new voice needed to be the bank, all here, players, administration, personal, they must take an account of this season and they will have direct and honest conversations. Next season.”
The Bluehirts became the sixth team to hire and shoot Laviolette, who finished his New York mandate with a regular season record of 94-59-11 and a 10-5-1 playoff record.
Everything seemed to go well in the first Laviolette season with the Rangers.
El equipo no solo estableció récords de franquicias para victorias (55) y puntos (114) en una sola temporada, sino que el club ganó el trofeo de los presidentes y se alejó a dos victorias de un puesto final de la Copa Stanley por segunda vez en la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia de la conferencia en la conferencia de la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia en la conferencia, At the conference, at the conference, at the conference, at the conference, at the conference, at the conference, at the conference, at the conference, at the conference.
The Rangers also led the entire NHL in Victorias back (28) under Laviolette in 2023-24.
He became the first chief coach in the NHL’s story to guide six different teams to the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Then everything seemed to go wrong this season for the Rangers, who achieved a tremendous step back in all facets of their game and lost the postseason for the first time in four years.
Dury was asked if the team had a culture problem, about the multitude of players who express their frustrations this season and what he feels that the team needs.
Despite answering all the aforementioned questions with a variation of a similar answer, which will evaluate everything, Dory said he was in all this training search.
“I’m not going to this with any pre -established disposition,” he said. “If he is a coach for the first time and is the best adjustment, great. As for what the team needs, we are trying to find the best we can do what we have to do … we are looking for many different scenarios and many different candidates.”
As it has become the possession of the usual duration, Zoom’s call was cut at 11 minutes, with several rhythms writers that still raise their virtual hands with questions.
Dory refused to reveal his private conversations with the owner James Dolan about the state of his job safety, but said that his approach focuses on what he can to improve the organization of the Rangers.
He has expected Dury to remain, although his seat can only grow his header from here.
“Obviously we are frustrated and disappointed with how things ended and not being in the playoffs,” said Dury. “My approach is to do everything possible to make sure we are a playoff team next year.”
