Mercogliano: Talking to Gerard Gallant now. He said he hasn’t talked to Chris Drury yet. He said all he’s heard so far is what he’s read. Points out that he thinks they’ve had two really good years. “I can’t believe I have to answer these questions about getting fired.” #NYR

Unpopular opinion: I would rather keep Gallant than hire the human piece of garbage that is Joel Quenneville if we can’t find a different alternative for a coach.
if you actually knew how to adjust during a series you wouldn’t have to worry.
Dude has secretly been Adam gase this whole time. 0 accountability whatsoever as a head coach it’s wild
There’s a reason he didn’t last long in Las Vegas and Florida
I’d feel real secure if my boss hadn’t spoken to me for days after the biggest failure of my career.
Hmmm if we didnt collapse like we did the last 2 playoffs after having a 2-0 lead, and taking multiple before you changed shit and taking no accountability what so ever by deflecting all blame on player efforts then maybe you wouldnt be hearing this shit.
Also players that were interviewed didnt exactly give off a great tone when speaking about you despite the words they said or they just outright skirted the question
I can’t believe the consensus from everyone here seems to be to keep Gallant. What changes are we expecting? He needs to go
And yet here we are….
I translate what Gallant is saying as, “My winning record speaks for itself. Maybe look at the guys first for a change.”
I’m unsurprised that this dude is surprised here. He sucks.
I would love to know what he actually does (aside from line blender)?
We know what he doesn’t do: strategy, system, analytics, get the team ready to play, mid game adjustments.
…but what is his job description?
We could win the cup and I would still die on Gallant is a terrible coach island. There are probably a dozen folks on this sub that could better coach this team.
This guy’s a clown.
Honestly, I think Vally would make a good HC. I’d hate to lose him in the booth but I feel like he’s got a great hockey mind and has similar thoughts as most of the more intelligent fans.
As soon as Game 4 ended, I immediately realized why the Golden Knights fired him. If he doesn’t worry about what we’re currently worrying about, I’m not sure what to say.
Between this stuff and Brian Cashman’s quotes today I think I’m taking a break from sports for a bit.
We’re still only 48 hrs past that hell and pinning this entirely on GG I feel is a bit reactionary. Not surprised there will be careful consideration and not rash judgment headed into next season. We’ll make the right move in the end.
What the Rangers need is a fresh name. Not someone who’s been switching teams every 2 to 5 years. Either a top assistant coach, or AHL Coach. Someone who understands the Eastern Conference. Someone who when the skating and passing game aren’t working is going to get them to dump, chase and forecheck. A North – South guy, not East – West. A guy who is going to develop a real 2nd power play unit, as well as let the kids play. It’s a tall order, but that man is not Gallant.
Should be fired for just that attitude alone
Mike Keenan benched Leach. Need someone who is willing to reward hard work and punish laziness/sloppy work. All the NHL coaches are the same – goons afraid of losing so they just stick the star players out BecUse they are afraid to shake things up
We shouldn’t believe it either but here we are, Gerard
Clueless moron. Sutter was COY last year and was fired. This guy blows back to back 2-0 leads the last two years, this year with a super team, and he doesn’t think there should be any conversations about his job?
