The decision last spring to fire New York Rangers coach Alain Vigneault and hire Boston University coach David Quinn has delighted many fans. As we saw this past season, he has carried over his ability to work with young players while maintaining a penchant for holding every player accountable.
When Alain Vigneault was announced as the new head coach of the Philadelphia Flyer on April 15, the reaction was mixed. Flyer fans were reminded that he was the coach to led the Rangers and Canucks to the Stanley Cup Finals. Ranger fans were skeptical, recalling how his time in New York ended.
