[Vince C. Mercigliano] Lastly, don’t sleep on Mike Babcock. I’ve had a few people bring him up, with two sources saying they’ve heard the NYR have been making calls/doing homework on him.

    Honestly, I don’t see how it’s an upgrade on GG. We need to matchup with the Canes and Devils. Which means we need more speed, and more aggression on the forecheck and backcheck. Babcock will have us playing passive and sitting back, the exact style that will get us killed against the Canes and Devils.

    how do these suggestions get worse every time? we don’t need to be the team to give a loser a second chance at the nhl.

    If Babcock is the head coach next season I will probably stop watching until they get rid of him

  4. ah yes, a team who had [locker room issues with the coach](https://twitter.com/mollieewalkerr/status/1654962292415422467) should bring in a coach whose most recent stint in the NHL involved…[locker room issues between the players and the coach](https://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/mike-babcock-drove-a-19-year-old-mitch-marner-to-tears). great idea, that’ll help our young guys. is Bill Peters also in consideration?

    why bring in good coaches who know how to coach in 2023 and win in 2023 when you can just keep going through the carousel of failed and/or outdated coaches

    i can count at least 7 options for HC where if NYR picked them, i’d be over the moon. when you’re even considering guys like Mike Babcock, you’re actively trying to make the wrong decisions. but what else should be expected i guess

    is Babcock himself downvoting everything in here

    Oh look the front office being braindead again.

    We won’t ever be freed until Sather and the Dolan family go away.

    Just hire Knoblauch and piss off with all the controversial old men who haven’t done anything in decades

    What a fuckin train wreck that hire would be

    Dude i think it’s joever. If we get an even shittier coach we’re gonna start regressing even more. Just promote Knoblauch at this point

  9. Knoblauch. Give him a shot. He knows the system and the talent pool.

    Babcock was one of the great coaches of our era. The Rangers would be lucky to have him. I promise you we wouldn’t be getting shut out in game 7 at MSG.
