Last night, news broke that Jacques Martin might be Lindy Ruff’s replacement as Assistant Coach for the NY Rangers. The news was a little surprising, since it came on a Sunday night of a relatively inactive week. As per usual, I have thoughts.
1. It makes sense that the Rangers are looking at someone to replace Ruff. Ruff was in charge of coaching the defensive structure, and logically speaking, finding a replacement was on the agenda. What I do find interesting is that the Rangers are again leaning towards a coach who has been around the block.
