    James yesterday on the local internet forum were posts for (in order, all free) a grill, a chick incubator and kids items. Good to see the grill was first and not last!

    We bring in Berube or Tocchet, our coach can kick any of our players’ azzes, separately or all at once.

    James- Nail on the head with your 1:32 post. If Torts is too tough, that’s too bad!

    Oh, I was outside for an hour before I came in and posted all that, SN. This is me relaxed 🙂 Maybe it’s the iced shaken espresso…

    Let’s be frank as a beat writer. You either want a genius, an easy to get along with coach, or you want there to be upheaval every 3-4 seasons to create a new cycle.

    And the last thing they want is to have to deal with a stubborn coach for a second time who they might have thrown overboard the ship along with the players.

    Carp and Brooks just don’t want to have to face Torts everyday again.

    It’s very simple where they are coming from.

    And yes, Alex what is up, with posting just two sets of numbers. Like what even the heck. How’s anyone even supposed to tell what your referring to, so why post it without a reference.

    That’s kinda like trolling

    68-56 is Claude Juliens playoff record though. That sticks out

    So Alex was giving us the playoff records of two coaches he would rather have than torts i guess.

    Did I decode that properly?

    And you’re one to talk about trolling or is it spamming with your war and peace posts

    I’m good at glossing over them now or skipping the long ones entirely

    But honestly, unless folks on here on buddies and knowingly enjoyingly rib on each other, if you post certain things in certain in ways in order to get a rise out of posters who from the past you know you guys have conflicting philosophies or whatever.

    Is that not trolling. Is that not exactly what trolling is, or is the flaming?

    I don’t really want to draw a spotlight on this. I just nip 💩 in the butt when it comes up.

    I think you troll people here Alex. Most of your posts are responses in opposition to someone’s others views. Why don’t you just come here and post your own thoughts instead of coming to pose dissenting opinions of others.

    To this day. What is your philosophy. What do you want, which players are you happy with and who do you need they need to upgrade.

    I don’t know what your views are, I just know your opposing views to posters here, not only me

    To me there’s a little bit of a troll job going on here.

    And that’s not why I post here. We shouldn’t have any trolls on this blog. We are all supposedly ranger fans

    Say whatever it is that you want to say about me, but to attempt calling me a troll, just reeks of wanting to quickly just point the finger the other way. I’m a lot of things, troll is not one

    I’ll give you example

    The other day you said essentially that you would put a beating on Wilson if you were in the lineup

    I had everything I could do to not respond at the time

    Like I said I’m getting better at skipping your longer posts now I have to work on the rest of your posts

    As for me

    Hate torts
    Hate isles

    Like kreider
    Liked mcdonagh
    Like Tampa since they have best chance to beat teams I don’t like

    Realize we had to wait out some of the buyouts which were result of bad signings

    Example shatty

    Pro rebuild

    Very disappointed jd was let go if it meant gorton stayed too I would have been ok with that

    highly doubt they go with Knoblauch but whoever they hire he better be able to match up with Trotz, Sullivan, Cassidy, Laviollette …..the comment that Gallant is not an X and O guy concerns me going up against these guys.

    Know what I hate? Watching my team suck. Know what I like? Seeing my team leave it all out on the ice win or lose.
    The guy that can make that happen can coach my team.
    Tired of seeing the team outplayed, the coach outcoached and the media chiming in about what a good guy the coach is despite not being a good coach because he smiles and chats pleasantly after every loss and doesn’t mind idiotic questions.
    Maybe if they had something better than “Does this loss hurt? Do you worry about momentum going forward? Do you think you should have played so-and-so more?” some of these coaches wouldn’t answer stupidity with stupidity.

    The next head coach of the Rangers is going to be a retread. That much we know. He’s going to be a guy who had some success, and has warts. He’s going to be a lot better coach than Quinn. So no matter who it is, it’s going to be an upgrade.

    Not sure why I’m saying this but I am actually quite alright with John Tortorella as the next Ranger coach. I am just not sure Zibanejad would be 🤔

  29. Bdl Avatar

    Zibanejad would either become one of the top 5 players in the league under Torts, or he would demand a trade.

    Would love to see a coach at least try to push Zibanajad out of his comfort zone, to make him a better player.

    Does anyone really believe that the guy who had Sather tossed from his seats while observing enemy practice could ever pass muster to coach the franchise?

    Torts: this course is part of the required first-year JD curriculum. It considers issues involved in determining whether the law should require a person to compensate for harm intentionally or unintentionally caused.

    Match up with Trotz? The guy who won nothing until stumbling on to a loaded Caps team? Didn’t even make it to the second round until 2010, didn’t even win a series after the first round until that cup year? Really? If Trotz had been NYR coach anytime prior to the Caps cup win the boneheads would have had his head on a platter year after year. “Not the guy to get us to the next level”

    Sullivan? Norm would have had three cups with that team at that time. Sully’s genius seems to have been very short lived. But it is nice to win the lotto.

    Cassidy has a short record and well, yeah Bos was 5-3 against NYR this season. Have heard it said we had a horrible coach so maybe Cassidy isn’t a strategic genius?

    Laviolette is the only one with a claim and though in the hockey-distant past, at least he won one cup, lost two and lost two conference finals among the many first round losses. However the interesting thing with him is the complete failures to take very good teams back to the finals (in fact better teams) resulting in his getting caned three seasons after.

    Other than what happened to Tavares I find this Habs/Leaves series entirely forgettable, kinda like my passwords and keys.

    The reality of it is if you are in the post season on a regular basis you’re probably losing a lot of the time.
    This isn’t the nfl. 16 playoff wins in one year takes more than solid coaching.
    Now if you’re Bruce Boudreau finding ways to let your team implode in dramatic fashion that’s different.

    The more I watch the playoffs the more I am glad the Rangers didn’t qualify….there may have been too many fatalities.
