Former New York Rangers coach John Muckler passed away at age 86

The hockey world is mourning the passing of John Muckler, former coach of the New York Rangers and a Stanley Cup winner in Edmonton. He was coach of the Oilers when they won their last Stanley Cup in 1990 and was hired by the Rangers as the team tried to replicate Edmonton’s success as they had in the past when they won the Stanley Cup in 1994.
