Kreider accused of tampering:

Sportsnet Insider revealed Rangers veteran is tampering with potential trades during team crisis

The Rangers are in full crisis and their star Chris Kreider did an unusual move in which this Sportsnet Insider has stated. Details inside.

www.nyrangersinsider.com

Isn't this a breach of contract situation?

No. There’s nothing in his contract that prevents him from being truthful about himself or what’s bothering him. He’s free to say whatever he wants. If the Rangers are bothered that he’s too open to the media then it’s an internal matter & they need to have a discussion. However it could be a breach on the part of the Rangers if they end up trading him & it turns out he’s damaged goods & they didn’t fully disclose his health condition to the other team. By the way I can’t blame Kreider for doing this since it’s obvious that at this point in his career that he doesn’t feel like relocating his family & would rather stay put with the team he’s always played with. The Rangers should have been more discreet about they’re willingness o trade him if they didn’t want to piss him off! Now Drury has pissed everyone off! The player, his teammates, his coach & the fan base! Lol

There are rumors that the Rangers will fire Peter Laviolette in order to hire Joel Quenneville:

New York Rangers amongst another Original Six team linked to controversial head coach

Is GM Chris Drury working on a replacement for Peter Laviolette already?

IMO .....QUENNEVILLE would b the right coach at the right place with the NYR.....un bon mixte de vétérans et de jeunes.....et des vétérans qu'il faut bien gérer.

I wouldn't mind if Laviollette was fired in order to hire Quenneville, in the same fire and hire/addition by subtraction power play that the Blues staged to hire Montgomery. The Rangers need to act quickly before some other organization gets the same idea.

 

[Doc Holliday]

The Rangers should consider firing their GM before firing the coach.

That usually never happens in the NHL. The GM fires the coach first and usually not himself when things are going badly.

True but it does happen more often than we think. Teams like Pittsburgh, Montreal, Toronto, Tampa, Philly & the Rangers come to mind of more recent examples when this happened. But often when a GM is fired mid-season the coach also is included.

 

[gaby]

WOW....NJD 5 NYR 1.....something big will happen soon....lol....and LEAFS 4 HAWKS 1...i watched this one.....credit to CHI they were dominant une bonne partie de la game BUT mission impossible vs a team with soooo much talents.....and STOLARZ did
very well....both LEAFS goalies are doing the job.

 

[EagerBeaver]

WOW....NJD 5 NYR 1.....something big will happen soon....

The Rangers gave up 39 shots. Their defense has been way too porous. Even against Montreal, the shots were even most of the game. It's been very disappointing to say the least. The most likely change I see is with the head coach. Trades are also likely, for some better defensive pieces.

 

[Doc Holliday]

The problem with the Rangers isn’t the coach. It’s the same problem the Islanders & the Predators have. They are a slow, aging team & they’ve been able to kick the can over the past year or two because they have one of the top goalies in the world who used to steal games for them. But he’s been ordinary this season. Maybe the fact he has no contract next season has been preoccupying him. Maybe he’d rather be playing elsewhere which is why he’s come out with an outrageous contractual demand to stay with the Rangers. Maybe other teams have begun to figure him out. Anyways the Rangers are no longer scaring anyone especially when the entire league is aware at how dysfunctional they’ve become internally.

 

[gaby]

WOW....what a comeback by COL...losing 0-4 they scored 5 straight goals to win 5-4 vs BUFF...WOW WOW WOW....and surprises......SEA 4---CAR 2 / SJS 2---WASH 1....

In CALGARY it was something/event very touching to see GAUDREAU'S family at the game vs CBJ.....and to look at MONAHAN in tears....fans and players/ emotions were all the place....in tribute of his memory they won 3-0.....great great moment.

These pre-game memorials must be getting very hard on the family. Maybe it’s time to move on.

If they were there its because they agreed to it, maybe its something they felt would help them to grieve for their lost ones.

Another LEAFS win 3-2....that's what happens quand on réunit again MATTHEWS--MARNER.....AUSTON 2g/ MARNER 2a.......10ème victoire consécutive at home....impressive.....and WOLL again did the job.

Well it’s not something they can say no to.

The Leafs are playing like the best team in hockey right now. You expect them to win every time they’re playing. They are a very well balanced team with a very good defence that is hard to play against & have possibly the top goaltending tandem in the league. They don’t have many holes in the lineup & although they’ve recently had their share of injuries the replacements have stepped up admirably. At one point recently they had 7 regulars out of the lineup but still found ways to win the game. The top 4 players (Matthews, Marner, Nylander & Tavares) have done their job with Tavares & Marner playing their best hockey in years! So good in fact that Matthews’ 11-game absence was barely noticeable. I’m extremely impressed with the job the coaching staff led by Craig Berube, Marc Savard & Lane Lambert have done. But the MVP of the coaching staff might be goalie coach Curtis Sanford!

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

Well it’s not something they can say no to.

Of course they can! Its not as if they owe anything to the league or the teams organisation. It is very common for families to ask for their privacy be respected during such hard emotional times. We see this all the time.

RICHARDSON fired as HAWKS coach....not really a surprise.....BUT i like this guy.....not sure where he will find new job...perhaps more as assistant again.
