I feel like 825K was the max they were willing to spend on a backup veteran goalie and Halak balked at it, while Quick was QUICK to jump on it

You know my feeling on him. 4 out of the last 5 years he's finished with a negative goals saved above expectations. He's done. The Rangers will have to win his game 4-3, 5-4, etc.

I will say, other than injury update, he's much more open in his press conferences. See how long that lasts.

Youre telling me you wont miss that coy smirk and warm shoulder shrug?

you guys definitely care about what coaches say and how they say it to the media a lot more than I do, I will definitely say that

I mean it's just interesting topic how two people in the same job approach topics in two different manners. Gallant wasn't divulging and was a little arrogant in doing so. Laviolette is the exact opposite (so far), which I like. But I can't win. Crediting a coach, discredit a coach, etc.

Morning all, preseason game day

I'm kind of in the same mentality as Jimbo. Honestly don't care what the coach says. Just win I don't think anyone is giving you crap, just different perspectives on what we all want from a coach

All coaches remain close to the vest. But you can still communicate and provide information without revealing “corporate secrets.” Though I do think the latter is was overblown.

Well (frank) you you too.

From the NHL.com mailbag section:

Peter Laviolette, the New York Rangers head coach, has already expressed some concern about the work ethic of the team. It seems like culturally speaking it is a theme from last year. If it's not the coach, then do you see any personnel changes to shake up the culture? -- @mingrass513

Response:
Let's slow down. It's training camp, preseason games, and players, especially veterans, go at their own speed to ramp up and be ready for opening night and the start of the 82-game grind that is the NHL regular season. You're talking about Laviolette's comments after the Rangers lost 5-3 to the New York Islanders at UBS Arena on Saturday. They were down 3-0 after the first period, 4-0 after the second. It wasn't good, and Laviolette didn't mince words about it, saying things like "unacceptable," and "not who we are or who we want to be." He praised young players like forwards Brennan Othmann, Will Cuyle and Matt Rempe for "working hard" and "competing," but clearly wasn't happy with the effort of the rest of the team. He did not use an excuse like getting used to the new system. "Backchecking is a universal language. Finishing checks and competing for pucks is a universal language," Laviolette said. To me, that's a coach publicly letting his players know that work ethic will never be allowed to be compromised. I don't know, but my guess is he said the same thing to them in private too. But slow down and realize it's still training camp, still the preseason, just exhibition games and players have to sometimes go at their own speed. If the Rangers are having work ethic problems in two weeks, that will be a big problem.

That doesn't mean there won't be some surprises to start the season. Othmann and Cuylle have played well in camp and preseason games. Alexis Lafrenière has not stood out. Other than potential NHL salary cap constraints, there's nothing stopping Laviolette from giving Othmann an opportunity to play a top-six role at right wing. Lafreniere has that opportunity, but if he can't seize it and Othmann can, then go with the 20-year-old rookie if the cap allows. Laviolette owes nothing to Lafreniere or any of the players who have been with the Rangers the past several seasons. He's new and he's setting his own standard. It's a high one and if players don't match it ice time will plummet and opportunity will go to someone else.

Well (frank) you you too.
