I wasn't aware that having a player sit out a year, as is customary in such cases, is really severely admonishing the young man. Would be interested to see your take if we were talking about a top FSU committ.
Sure...fire one coach that demands endless self sacrifice and is allergic to creativity...then run in a exactly the other direction and pick up a coach that wants his players to play like figure skaters.
Kidding aside, I think Vigneault is a good coach...but the Rangers really have no identity at this point. Slats has made some pretty poor personnel decisions and right now they just seem like they're in flux. I expect the Rangewrs to be better under Vigneault than under Torts though...
except that he holds his glove like an amputee and hops around like a fish out of water. Except for that.
Boston is a structure an opportunistic team. Vokoun hasn't been the only bad player, but don't kid yourself, he has been dreadful thus far and anyone that watches goalies saw this coming. To do well vs boston u need to be fundamentally sound and stay square to the puck...neither of which describes vokoun.
since inheriting Therrien's team and winning a cup, the pens don't exactly have a stellar playoff record....so it would seem fair that he wouldn't be above being axed.
sure they do...and in it they give tips to stay at home moms on how to buy really cool exercise accessories that'll look really good when they decide to take up jogging, or zumba, or yoga, or whatever else the fad-du-jour is. They also probably have a Polo round-up somewhere on a back page.
I think MLSE should receive a big gift if Boston wins a cup.

Right now they ALL deserve to be cut!
Game 2, forget about it, again, Vokoun never gave them a chance to even be in the game.
