The hiring of ex-Rangers head coach John Tortorella by the Vancouver Canucks is an extremely risky appointment.
Vigneault is ready to breathe fresh life into the Rangers. It's going to be a new era of exciting, offensively-expressive hockey now that Vigneault is replacing John Tortorella behind the Blueshirts' bench.
Just over four weeks after he was fired by the Vancouver Canucks, Vigneault took over as coach of the New York Rangers on Friday — replacing the blustery John Tortorella three weeks after his dismissal.
"I don't really know what Mark is going to do," general manager Glen Sather told the New York Post. "He was very disappointed when I called to tell him that we were going to hire Alain."
Vigneault may not be a breath of fresh air, but he's not the restrictive leader that Tortorella was and that's good news for the Rangers.
"Here's what I don't understand about Yankees fans," Christie said. "The Mets stink. We're awful. And the Yankees are usually really good. So why do you boo us? You should feel badly for us."
