Yes please.
Come on Dolan make it happen. Hynes knows how to coach in the metro candidate. He’s the perfect candidate.
Thought they were going with Laviolette…
I thought the rags already hired Laviolette?
So their options are Hynes, Laviolette, Babcock, and Quenneville.
oof
Lol
Will be hilarious to see rags fans melt down every other game when the lines get thrown in a blender again
He’d be so in love with that fourth line, we’d see them get 20+ mins a night
I’m laughing so hard right now
We know Hynes is good for a year of success. In all fairness, character wise, he’s probably the best option, which says a lot about who they are interviewing.
Laviolette, notably, was a Devils front runner before Ruff, but apparently contract negotiations went south. Knowing Rangers ownership, wonder if they’re looking at Hynes due to similar issues.
I also have no doubt Hynes still has in area connections that help. We do know the tri-state teams do have a lot of overlap
I look forward to feasting on a top line of Laf, Kakko, and Kenny Agostino four times a year =D
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I might be on one or those “ice cold takes” things but man it feels like the Rags fucked up bad. They basically let emotion factor in to the decision to fire Gallant without doing a very good job projecting how weak the coaching market is rn. They had a good season, lost to a good team, could have ran it back with GG and made the change if needed mid season or next offseason with better names available. Instead Drury jumped the Shark and they are about to sign John Hynes to a long term deal lol.
Before everyone starts dancing on their grave, just remember how much Rangers fans were celebrating when we hired Lindy and that worked out just fine us. Fact is, we don’t know how this will go.
On a personal note, I would be kind of bummed about this because Hynes seems like a great dude and I would not enjoy rooting against him.
