There could be another coaching fatality shortly too...it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Tom Renney is go next. I think Renney is a good coach & has done a great job during his tenure in NY, but coaches have a short life span in the NHL, and Renney has been in the Rangers organization now for 9+ years, and has been the head coach for 4. The 10-2 loss to Dallas last week was embarrassing...i missed yesterdays loss to the Flyers (which they were trailing 5-0 at one point)...and now yet another loss today to the Blues in which their league worst offense managed just 1 goal, from a 3rd line rookie no less, who's been the only one scoring recently (Lauri Korpikoski).
They only have 1 win in their last 8 games, and are now only 2 points ahead of 8th place Buffalo, and 5 points ahead of 9th place Carolina...both of whom have games in hand on the Rangers. Their powerplay is pathedic (i swear, they give up more short handed goals against then they do powerplay goals for), their offense is dead last (30th), they are actually a minus teams on the season (144 goals for, 162 goals against)....I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was let go tomorrow.
