News about Gerard Gallant

Peter Laviolette has been hired by the New York Rangers as their next coach, replacing Gerard Gallant with a veteran with Stanley Cup winning knowledge. On Tuesday, the team revealed the appointment of Laviolette, putting the U.S.-born king of NHL coaching victories in charge at a time of high hopes, with the Original Six franchise in win-now mode. We are excited about Peter's long association as a head coach in the National Hockey League, as well as the success his teams have had at various levels over his career,' general manager Chris Drury said in a tweet.

Following the dismissal of head coach Gerard Gallant's dismissal by firing two assistant coaches on Tuesday, the New York Rangers are now doing house sanitizing. According to the New York Post, assistants Mike Kelly and Jim Midgley, who joined Gallant's staff, were suspended. Gallant, a 59-year-old Canadian, was fired after two seasons as the Blueshirts' manager, putting up a 99-46 record in that time period.

The New York Rangers have reported the departure of head coach Gerard Gallant, who has described the switch as a "mutual" decision. The team finished third in the Metropolitan Division at 47-22-13, but failed to capitalize on deadline acquisitions such as Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko before losing by 2-0 series lead in a first-round loss to the rival New Jersey Devils.

It's called The World's Most Popular Arena, but Madison Square Garden has been more renowned than ever in the 21st century, a place where celebrity athletes routinely fail to impress, and teaching careers go to die. The Manhattan arena's tenants haven't even sniffed a title this millennium, despite the New York Rangers' Stanley Cup Finals loss in 2014. Although New York has had some success on the track, the hardwood has been much crueler, as the Knicks have won only three playoff series since being in the NBA Finals in 1999. But now, with the support of some new blood, the Knicks and Rangers are giving irritated fans a reason to be excited about visiting Madison Square Garden for the first time in years.
