    Default Alain Vigneault likely to be next Ranger head coach

    Steve Zipay ‏@stevezipay 18m

    “@aaronward_nhl: Vigneault has indicated to Stars that he no longer wants to be considered for head coach job #TSN” Sounds like Broadway



    Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie 11m

    League source: Vigneault with inside track on Rangers' job, offer may be forthcoming. Story will be up soon on http://NYPost.com/sports .


    Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 2m

    With Alain Vigneault withdrawing himself from DAL job, expectation is he has an offer to coach NYR tho no one has officially confirmed that.

    I think AV could do wonders for that Rags team.

    kevinsrangers and I were talking about this before Torts was canned thinking he would be a solid coach for the team.

    Expect Richards to be be back to his scoring ways if this is legit.

    Ward has to run his leads by the panel from now on to be sure his source isn't some back alley crack head, the TSN panel is expected to provide at a level higher than Kypreos after all.

    Whoa. Don't insult Walter like that!



    The Rangers have a great foundation, would be fun to watch someone that can bring it all together. Not to say that Alain is that guy, but he damn well could be

    i really dont understand the idea of richards getting back to anything to be honest

    unless Vig can somehow make him fast again i dont see how it can happen

    richards didnt have chemistry with either gaborik or nash a different coach will not change that

    stepan and brassard had no problem producing with the wingers on this team and yet richards did

    i dont understand how richards production or lack of it is on anyone but himself when stepan and brassard both had no problems with the wingers on the team or the system or anything else

    richards was given every chance to get his game going both seasons with the rangers and it just didnt happen

    I think the Rangers will see some big improvements in multiple areas next season with AV behind the bench. As a Lundy owner, I love this hiring!

    The reason I feel this way has to do with AV's notorious zone starts. The majority of Richards starts are bound to be in the offensive zone. Plus with a new coach he is immediately out of the dog house and that kind of change often seems to give players a boost.

    Is it possible that Richards is just out of his prime and on the decline like Heatley or someone like that? Maybe he is, but I'm not ready to bank on it.

    in 12-13 richards led all of the rangers regular forwards in offensive zone starts with 63.4% and in 11-12 he was only behind gaborik and stepan in offensive zone starts

    and richards was put in the doghouse by his own doing not that of his coach

    the guy admitted he showed up out of shape for the season and no matter how much icetime or offensive zone starts he got he didnt produce

    none of that is the fault of the coach that is all on him

    the only reason richards even got the chances he got was because he was tortorellas boy if he wasnt his ass would have been dropped down the lineup much sooner than it was

    if the rangers dont buyout richards they will be stuck with that dog of a contract and he will get worse and they will not be able to buy him out after this coming season because he is almost guaranteed to get hurt

    who knows maybe if he gets bought out and goes into a situation where he isnt paid so much money and the expectation isnt there for him to be a top line player he might level off his downward trend

    but he took a huge contract and then couldnt live up to it and mentally he broke

    it had nothing to do with the coach who tried to give him everything he could to succeed and turn things around

    everyone keeps ignoring that the team around him continued to perform while he declined
