Clearly, David Quinn doesn’t think he has time to mess around.
And, just as clearly, the Rangers coach believes after the thumping his team suffered in the season opener at the hands of the Islanders on Thursday, something drastic had to be done.
Defenseman Tony DeAngelo, who took a double minor penalty late in the third period of the Rangers’ 4-0 loss, was banished from the main practice group Friday, relegated to skating with the taxi squad. And Quinn’s most reliable defense pair was split up as the Rangers prepared for their do-over game against the Islanders on Saturday at Garden.
