GREENBURGH, N.Y. — One thing David Quinn has done consistently in his first season as Rangers head coach is hold people accountable. The former Boston University coach has benched players for poor play and scratched others for big mistakes as he seeks to teach his young players the right way to play the game.
But you can’t bench everyone for every mistake. Everybody makes them, after all. So, sometimes, you just have to live with them.
Neal Pionk knows he made a mistake when he picked a fight with Christian Fischer in the second period of Friday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes at the Garden.
