New York Rangers: Matt Puempel burns old head coach, Guy Boucher

Now a member of the New York Rangers, new guy Matt Puempel isn’t pulling any punches.

Puempel was picked up via waivers by Jeff Gorton last week after injuries to Pavel Buchnevich and Mika Zibanejad left the Blueshirts a little light up front. In his first game with the new club, Puempel scored a goal courtesy of a brilliant backhanded pass by Jimmy Vesey:
