There isn’t just one person who is to blame for the New York Rangers lack of success so far this season, but who is more to blame Head Coach Peter Laviolette or General Manager Chris Drury that’s the question I try and answer in today’s video.

Where to start , our big acquisition this off season was a scratch last game , Drury is not a competent manager. Washington fans told me the second year under laviolette is brutal stars feel like they don't have to work with the intensity Laviolette demands so the system breaks . Rangers have problems from upstairs all the way to the locker room.
Will they ever learn to not build around goaltending? It’s a recipe for failure. We already made the mistake with Hank. Let Igor walk unless he takes a team friendly deal. If he walks, fine, build around C and upgrade on D.
Drury hasn't fixed anything during his tenure, he blamed Gallant and made him the scapegoat to cover his own failures. The core of the team is still a bunch of underachievers.
I was at the Montreal game. It honestly was a pathetic effort against a team that was the worst in the league, within the shots per game category. Also, Rangers scored three of there four goals on the powerplay. On 5v5 action, Montreal had the slight edge. Both the coaching staff and the GM are to blame. People think just because most of the coaching staff got this team to the ECF, it doesn't give them a pass for this seasons effort the Rangers have given this season. Blow it all up, this current roster isn't good enough an it's too expensive to keep under performing on a yearly bases. If this team hasn't won a cup over the past four years together, then they failed and it's time for major changes. The players seem like they've just began to tune them out for some reason.
Just a thought, what’s the over/under that this team is retaliating against Dury for the summer shenanigans?
The season just started, wtf? The problem is not Drury, Laviolette, Shesterkin or Kreider. The problems are What is wrong with Zib? He is untradeable-fix it. Kreider, he is streaky. Also should have been named team captain. Kakko- probably needed at least half a season in Hartford. Shesterkin- he wants to get paid! Unless you think Garand is better, pay him! The Others- Trouba- if you can get a bag of pucks, take it! Miller- hello, he has value, don't wait…Reilly Smith… brother of Brendan, at least Brendan hit guys. Reilly is a below average skater, physical player and can't play a defensive game. Why??? The WORST average player in the NHL!!! Lindgren- Overpaid! Not big enough to be a real thumper. Call Gorton. Drury- needs to pour his hot oil all over this team!
Something going on within organization. This moron Drury needed to go a long time ago. He’s a major problem
Well, if I have to blame someone in management I would blame Drury somewhat & Laviolette a great deal. I totally agree about those deadline deals Drury has made trading away draft picks for rentals is insane. I'm not a big fan of Laviolette because I've followed Washington a lot because of Dylan McIlrath, whom I've had some interaction with & is a first class guy. I know that players, particularly Kuznetsov, went to the GM & complained about having to play in his system, which they found stultifying. Look at how well Roslovic is playing in Carolina. Brind'Amour is a great coach. He & Paul Maurice are two of THE best coaches in the league! Laviolette has basically the same team as last year, so how does a President Cup winning team go from the penthouse to the outhouse? Gerard Gallant has had many great seasons with a variety of teams & he always gets fired, just like Laviolette. Laviolette preaches a good defensive system but I don't see it. Look at how the Caps are thriving under Carbery. It's no accident.
Great Video, as usual, Trenur. I think that this is still carryover John Davidson/Jeff Gorton caused/it's A Ripple Effect of That Regime. Jacob Trouba & others are aging poorly. Let me know what you think
9 Draft picks for 7 players in 3 seasons , none Retained, and you ask what's the problem?
The players have to take responsibility for their lazy uninspiring play not the coach or the gm it’s bad hockey why keep Igor at all if we can’t play defense
Lol drury.
Thank You. I was always of the opinion & said it, that all of the Rentals/Not Keeping these players, such as Frank Vattano & others, is my main concern about Chris Drury. He doesn't go out & get/keep a player like Jake Guentzel or Jack Eichel. Let me know what you think.
Honestly, I love Igor, but we can't keep building around a goalie especially for the money that he is asking for. I believe that we should trade him now that we can get something for him. Carolina is desperate for a goalie we could pull of a blockbuster move sending Igor there. Aiming for sveckikov the type of player that the rangers need. To be fair Carolina has one of the best defenses in the league and with Igor as their goaltender they would be dominate but the rangers also gain a young type of player that they need. Will cuyle and sveck are essentially to this team. Also retool the defense. We need to trade Lingren and Trouba. Build around Sneider, jones, fox, and yes, I still believe in Miller I just think that he's having a tough start to the season.
