The New York Rangers fell to the Calgary Flames last night 2-1. Fans everywhere are incensed as the Head Coach can't seem to win important battles, and neither can his team, it begs the question should he be fired? Some people think so.![Peter Laviolette]()
It's so uncanny how an NHL team can win a Presidents trophy in 2023-2024 and the year after fall-off like the Rangers did.
They aren't capable of staying in a wildcard spot and will likely miss the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs.
For the Boston Bruins, it all started with firing Jim Montgomery, and at the deadline beginning a retool that may have no end.
However, GM Chris Drury has decided to put his full faith in a coach who seems to have lost his team.
Peter Laviolette would meet the media and suggest that he and the team need to move on instead of re-evaluating their approach to games.
This has riled up Rangers fans who would rather see Peter Laviolette fired than continue the season. Given the state of the team itself, it's hard to dismiss their feelings.
Rangers fans pay a premium for admission to the original-six franchise, whether by TV, live games, or merchandise James Dolan has delivered a failure of a product.
As you can see, fans are irate with the direction of the franchise, and GM Chris Drury has yet to make a major move with Laviolette.
The anger is palpable even through the screen.
As it stands, the regular season is nearing the end, and the NHL will begin to gear up for playoffs soon.
The Rangers are 33-30-6, 4th in the Metropolitan Division, and 1 point behind the Montreal Canadiens for the second-wild-card spot in the playoffs.
The time to find consistency may be too late, as the team can't seem to find a way to win like they did last season.
Is it time to relieve Peter Laviolette of his duties?
