Rangers Axe Laviolette in Shocking Season-End Purge: What’s Next for the Blueshirts?
This is the second consecutive Rangers coach to be fired after just two campaigns, with Laviolette matching the timeline of his predecessor Gerard Gallant. Before Gallant, David Quinn (2018-2021) was the last Rangers coach to last longer than two seasons behind the Rangers bench.
Everything seemed to go right in Laviolette’s first season with the Rangers.
Not only did the Rangers set franchise records for wins (55) and points (114) in a single season, but the club won the Presidents’ Trophy and came two wins away from a Stanley Cup Final berth for the second time in three seasons in an Eastern Conference Final loss to the eventual Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers.
