In 2013, the New York Rangers fired their Head Coach who had recently signed a contract extension. They hired a new coach, and that new coach brought them to the Stanley Cup Final in his first year with the team. The move proved the team needed a new voice, a new system, and a change to push them over the hump.
The coach that was fired was John Tortorella, and his replacement was Alain Vigneault. It’s now time for the Rangers to repeat history, but with Alain Vigneault receiving the boot this time. Oh, and Scott Arniel must join Vigneault out the door.
