The Case Against The Rangers Hiring Mike Sullivan

Rangers' logic defies credulity.

Chris Drury spends the 2024-25 season multiplying mistakes from dumb trades to overpaying fat cats by the ton.

His club misses the playoffs and instead of being booted into the East River the guy gets a new contract. Rangers' illogical logic prevails.

Now the talk is that Mike Sullivan has all but clinched the open head coaching slot and isn't that wonderful when you consider how badly he failed in Pittsburgh that not even his buddy Sid Crosby could save his job. 

With Hall of Famers Crosby and Geno Malkin leading the Penguins' lineup, Sully has missed the playoffs for three straight years.

That should make him a perfect Rangers fit: A. An over-the-hill retread. B. A three-straight loser. Isn't that a wonderful combo. Like tapioca pudding with ketchup. OY VAY!

Owner Jim Dolan's spin on rehiring Drury was...was...was..something like, "I just like this guy and that's all there is to it" kind of spin. 

Well there's gotta be something good about Drury other than his name is easy to spell and he's got a pizza business.

As for Sullivan, well, let's see. Sidney likes him. Geno likes him. Hmmmm!

The talk also has the Bruins wanting sulled Sully. And that figures because the one thing you really gotta love about the Bostonians is that their high command can match the Rangers on the Ineptitude scale.

This is how dopey the Beantown general staff is these days. First, they open the season with good coach Jim Montgomery. Then, they panic durin an early season slump. 

Next they dump Monty who goes to St.Louis and turns the Blues into a playoff team while the Bruins fade and go into non-playoff hibernation.

NHL General Managers Reportedly Believe Mike Sullivan Will End Up With The Rangers NHL General Managers Reportedly Believe Mike Sullivan Will End Up With The Rangers Now that Mike Sullivan has officially parted ways with the Pittsburgh Penguins, the New York Rangers have already jumped in as the favorites to land the Stanley Cup-winning coach.

Gimme a break. If Mike Sullivan is so good; so desirable perhaps theRangers and Bruins ought to make a lend-lease deal and share him. Hey, you get him for October and we get him for November. 

And we fire him for Christmas!
