Everything looked promising for the New York Rangers this year as they got out of the gate quickly to a 10-2-1 record, but losing 10 of your last 12 have taken the Rangers out of contention for the Atlantic Division and could even miss the playoffs as well. The Rangers decided it needed a change and they fired coach Tom Renney and did not name a replace right away. Assistant coach Perry Pearn was also fired, but fellow assistant Mike Pelino was retained along with goalie coach Benoit Allaire, the Rangers said.
Will this turn the Rangers around I really cannot say, but you cannot get rid of the whole team right now so firing the coach is what they can do to hopefully jump start the Rangers again. Only time will tell if this is the right move. In the last few games the Rangers fans were chanting to fire Renney so at least the fans should be happy with this move.
