Don't get me wrong, Tom Renney was a fantastic coach for the past five years and if anybody needed to be fired during that period of time and beyond... it was Glen Sather.Sather routinely saddled Renney with crappy overpaid and unmotivated players. But, I like this 2009 Rangers team. It needs a little tweaking, sure, but the core is very talented.
The problem is that Renney is "too nice of a guy" to be coaching in the NHL. His brand of patience is best served at the AHL level. Tortorella will bring some fire and accountability.
I just hope that the franchise follows suit and gives Sather his walking papers in the off season to complete what must be done. Let's hire a GM who isn't in love with older costly players.
