Are you (frank)ing kidding me?

Sources say that #NYR president John Davidson and GM Jeff Gorton scurried to distance themselves from the team statement that was issued on Tuesday night, telling other executives that they did not know it was in the works until after it was released.

I'm not even sure what to say right now.

This organization is (frank)ed and I am gonna take a leave for a while. I'm not dealing with the troll activity that will come from this.

i can't even imagine what is going on inside the minds of the rangers players right now. No one on the current available roster is equipped to handle Wilson and the hype train is going so fast it's going to come off the tracks. Very weird situation
- picklerick


I think the players are pumped up to just play the game and win. Maybe a few take some cheap shots at Wilson but just wanting to win the game.

I’m told the firing of Gorton and Davidson by NYR is coincidental and not related to the statement issued yesterday related to Tom Wilson. Another source says ownership felt the Rangers underachieved this season.

Especially considering Fox is having a Norris-level year with DeAngelo gone, but sure let's keep the guy around so he can get beat up by Wilson in a rare incident

From the Post...

But a divergence of philosophies emerged between Dolan and the Davidson-Gorton ticket, with sources indicating that the CEO believes that it is time to take the next step in this process while the front office people have continued to preach patience and a longer-view panoramic take of situation.

As well, it is believed that the hockey hierarchy’s collection of skill players at the expense of will players did not sit well with Dolan. The recent mismatches against the Islanders highlighted the team’s deficiencies in grit and leadership and may have accelerated, if not prompted, this stunning decision.

I’m reading it has to do with how they constructed the roster and how we’ve been pushed around.

How does firing Gorton make sense considering how quickly her turned around veterans to the best prospect pool in the NHL.

They couldn't wait until the end of the season? They had to time it with this debacle?

I can't wait for them to ship out all of the talent for garbage.

Somewhere Tom is hanging himself if he hasn't already.

Interesting take by Sean McIndoe
Pure speculation, but what are the odds that Dolan told Davidson to fire Gorton and he refused? Axing a team president after two years on the job just based on team performance makes zero sense.
