It is clear that the Rangers have not been made like consecutive playoff contenders in the East Division, revealing a great fact in games against the Islanders, Capitals and Bruins this season.
Not only was he lacking key roles in preventing the team from qualifying for the playoffs, but it was a factor that CEO Jim Dolan sacked President John Davidson and General Manager Jeff Gorton on Wednesday. It is believed that the collection of the now former managerial pair of skill players at the expense of the Will players did not sit well with Dolan.
Given what happened to the Capitals’ instigator Tom Wilson on Monday, when he cheaply punched Pavel Buchaniewicz and then twice body-slammed star winger Artemi Panarin knocked him out of the final three games of the season, the way he did Rangers are suddenly formed. Conversations.
Wilson was fined only $ 5,000 for his antics with Buchenwich, but did not punish anything for Panyren. The Rangers, who issued a sarcastic statement for player safety George Parrows’ job, felt a bit nervous and took matters into their own hands during Wednesday’s 4-2 loss – including the first time they hit 4:14 Six times dropped gloves.
Glenn Suther, a senior adviser to Dolan and an alternate governor, confirmed to The Post’s reporting during a press conference on Thursday that there was no direct connection between the team’s statement and the firing of either Davidson or Gorton. However, the Post reported that the two did not think about the release – which paid the organization a $ 250,000 fine – that was not a good idea.
As far as addressing the need for more toughness, Sather said he is proud of the Rangers’ response, but that, in his experience, each team needs to compete.
“I think when you look at the lineup that Washington was playing [Wednesday] At night, I was particularly proud of how they reacted, they all stuck together, ”he said. “It is part of the whole team building process and the youth have to go through. I talked to a lot of kids after the game [Wednesday] The dressing room consisted of nights and so many never before. And virtually every one of them just shook his head.
“Especially from the teams I’m involved with, you need a certain element of being able to defend your players, and it has to come from within the team. The team needs to take care of each other and have a -There must be a feeling for each other to support each other. And they certainly did [Wednesday] night.”
Julian Gothier, who took an innings in Wednesday’s loss and left the game with a lower body injury, will not play in the final two games of the season, said new chairman and general manager Chris Drury.
The 23-year-old winger completed his second Rangers season with two goals and six assists, as well as winning 14 penalty minutes in 30 games.
In Wednesday’s game, “the player increased” and also provided another player who may not be available. Who did he not disclose.
The Rangers recalled Johnny Brodzinski, Tim Gettinger and Justin Richards from AHL Hartford on Thursday.
Brodzinski skated in four games with the Rangers this season. Scored a goal against the Bruins on 26 February. He remembered for the first time when Panarin took leave of his absence to deal with Russia after a political hit piece.
