It took a few days, but the New York Rangers made it official, announcing that Gerard Gallant is their new coach. The word came via social media and in a press release on Wednesday afternoon.
It’s official.

There’s no doubt that at some point there will be a formal press conference introducing Gallant to the New York media and we will get to hear more about his plans for the team.
