The New York Rangers faced life after elimination Wednesday, with their head coach and two star players contemplating their futures.
Coach Gerard Gallant said he hadn't yet spoken to general manager Chris Drury about his future, which has been the subject of much speculation since the Rangers were eliminated in the first round by the rival New Jersey Devils in Game 7.
Gallant has a regular-season record of 99-46-19 in his two seasons with the Rangers, who made the Eastern Conference Final last season. He did not take part in postseason player interviews, although he said he also didn't take part in them after last season.
