Top of the list, Dan Boyle curses out Larry Brooks and won't start his interview before he leaves the press scrum. Love it. Go write another article about how we should trade JT Miller for a Mike Santorelli rental you hack.

Boyle also says he's leaning towards retirement. You've had a great career Danny but it's certainly time.

Girardi was concussed on the Brian Boyle hit, cleared to return G1 but symptoms returned which is why he was out.
 
There are also some reports coming out that Danny Boyle dealt with a very serious family issue earlier this year which caused him to miss some time. Apparently not happy how some in the press, specifically Brooks who was absolutely BRUTAL to him, never even asked him about it off the record.
 
Boyle has never liked reporters so it's not surprising.
 
Good for Boyle. Brooks and Cygrelis are jokes and what they write is garbage. The problem with Boyle is he got old. He played all right in last year's playoffs. Can't argue he was one of the great offense of defenseman of his era. With that said you can't blame a guy taking $9 million over two years to play for a contender. Blame Sather
 
(twitter): Yandle: #NYR Keith Yandle: "The organization here is amazing. I could definitely see myself here."

(twitter): Yandle repeatedly said NYR is an "amazing" org. Would love to be back. Doesn't know how it will go.

Find a way Gorton.
 
Makes no sense unless they trade McDonagh or Staal and Skjei can play the right side once Graves is ready.
 
Yes, its been repeated on here over and over what needs to happen. I'm just pointing out that the guy clearly would like to be here so Gorton should be doing what he can to make that happen.

I cannot imagine them trading McDonagh, especially not with that friendly contract. You and Brooks seem to be the only two who want to explore that idea.
 
Gross: AV was asked whether Kevin Hayes is definitely part of the team's future: "Yes, without a doubt."

Agreed. Too much potential to give up just yet. 2 yr bridge deal, around 2m. If he doesnt work that's a very reasonable contract we can trade and get something back for. Important year for him coming up.

...

Cerny: AV mentioned several times "the back end" as to area where#NYR really need to analyze how to be better.

Hartnett: #NYR HC Alain Vigneault mentions the need to change pieces. Says it's time to look to improve going forward.

Dan Rosen: Alain Vigneault on the @NYRangers core group: "I think we're at the stage now where we need to look at some changes."

Sounds like the front office knows what needs to happen. Reading between the lines, either Staal or Girardi won't be here next year. In a perfect world, both. Very much appreciate what both guys have given to this franchise and all the playoff runs they have been a part of, but neither of them can keep up any longer and both of those contracts in hindsight were bad moves and based on play in a very different system.
 
Don't blame Boyle for being a douche to Brooks, who is a douche himself

And glad to read management agrees changes need to be made. Let's just hope they are significant changes and not just slightly different makeup on the same pig.
 
Sorry, Boyle is a pussy. I have no love for Brooks. However, when you get paid 4.5 million and suck, I don't give a shit what you are going through. Suck it up and deal with. Brooks could call me an asshole daily. At 39 making 4.5 I wouldn't give a fuck. I would ignore it. Boyle's actions are exactly what is wrong with this team. Too many dickheads, making too much money who can't earn it and don't want to be criticized.

Disagree. Brooks went out of his way to be a dick to Boyle and ripped him every chance he got. And it wasn't limited to on-ice performance which is always fair game. Brooks called him "selfish," "stubborn," and "apart from the team" in his columns. Direct quotes, go look. That's hack journalism and simply not true. Meanwhile did Brooks ever rip Tanner Glass, Staal or Girardi like that? No, because they are nice guys who stroke his ego and gave him good soundbytes. Brooks had a personal dislike for Boyle and Boyle told him to go fuck himself. I have no problem with that.

I'd have to agree with this. Nobody likes Brooks but Boyle should've just said what he had to say and not made it a spectacle. After how the season ended this doesn't really reflect well on the organization. Now the stupid video of it is floating around everywhere.

Everyone knows the Post is a rag and shouldn't be taken seriously. The Daily News is even worse. I admit the video is funny but I think it just wasn't worth it.
 
Again, you get paid 4.5 million. Grow a pair of balls and deal with criticism. It's NY. Get used to it. You want to know why this team had no heart. Because it had a roster full of sissy boys like Boyle. The bottom line was that Boyle sucked. All Brooks was saying was the same thing we all did. It was a disgrace that he was playing over McIlrath. The old fart didn't like it. Well, don't play like shit and you won't get slammed in the press.
 
If you agree with Boyle your head is up your ass because Rick Nash has been destroyed by the media 100 times worse than Boyle and he's never cried about it once.
 
Here's the video so everyone knows what this is all about.

Come on dump. My head is not up my ass at all. A Rick Nash comparison is apples to oranges. Nash is still under contract in this organization while Dan Boyle has played the last game of his career. And if money is the factor here, Nash should be getting destroyed by the media worse since he makes so much more.

Didnt say Id do the same thing, but I have no problem with it at all. Also didnt mean for this to turn into a big thing, just thought it was entertaining for a guy to walk out the door giving a big FU to Larry Brooks. After all, you're the king of giving an FU to people :)

Let's drop it.
 
Maybe i'm in the minority but i don't think Boyle played all that badly in his time here. Sure he was a pylon on defense but at 39 he was here to help on the pp which i don't honestly think he was awful on. Geez, talk about bad defensively, look at our 32 y/o making more than him. Disastrous.
 
Who cares is my take. Be the bigger man, I get why Boyle did it, but who cares. He is now an ex-Ranger and will never put on the NYR sweater again...so to me nothing to see here.

I firmly believe we'll see 6 or 7 new/different players on the team next year. And I 100% believe at least one of Nash/G/Staal will be gone, if not two. And I 100% believe that at least one of G/Staal will be gone.

From there we move forward and I think are right back near the top again next season.

I agree with you 100% Prod. This is exactly the blueprint we need to follow.

Adding Skjei to the back end helps right away. Look for another swift skater and then you are onto something. And hopefully at least one of Staal/G are gone (I think that happens for sure...if both are back I would be SHOCKED).

Nash is the question mark to me...what do they do with him.
 
Feeling sorry for Boyle is absurd. He acted like a 2 year old. He demanded a no trade clause as a relic. Got overpaid like a relic. Then cried about being treated like crap from Brooks when he played like crap. No sympathy for him at all.

Hayes to me is another inconsistent, lazy dumbass. No problem if they deal him. What is more concerning is the crap I'm hearing about Kreider being a problem in the lockerroom. I don't know if this is true. If it is, it's a major problem. Either way, this team is majorly screwed. I said it months ago. Major changes are needed.
 
One of the worst things that they've ever done is not even offering a contract to Stralman and signing Boyle instead.
 
After watching that, Boyle completely embarrassed himself. Everybody knows Brooks is a tool. However, stating he wanted to play McIlrath over him is hardly reason to throw a tantrum. That's pretty much what Brooks did and is this one case, he was correct.
 
Speaking in general terms, I would like to see something to the extent of packaging Nash with either Hayes or M. Staal with Hayes to free up room. If it is Staal and Hayes then work on moving Nash with a second tier prospect. I would like to buy out G because if I am not mistaken we still have one on the books we can do that too but don't quote me on that. Going by the top of my head. Regarding what we get in return for the above, I am more concerned with cap space and draft picks in return. I don't have any specific players per say I would like to see in return at this time. It would depend upon who are dance partner is. We DO have options. I would also move McD for a boat load because he, single handed, can get us a great return to start the rebuild process. As a whole we did play good hockey when he went down. I know people will say I am crazy because he is our C and he contract is very cap friendly. Well, he is not a true C and his contract is the exact reason why I would move him now while his value is at a peak. Again, these are just generalities and I can go into much more specifics but that would just be playing the guessing game. Think about this, people say Hayes has too much talent to give up on him but have you ever looked in his eyes or his facial expression? He is afraid to do what needs to be done with his size. He looks scared on the ice and it translates into his lazy and soft game. Again, that is just my opinion but I put a lot of stock in body language.
 
I have no interest in the organization keeping Hayes. He's soft, lazy and is another center on this team that can't win draws.
 
The only positive I saw in Boyle was the useless hump never got hurt which tends to happen when you're going through the motions giving a half-assed effort. He deserved every sentence of criticism written about him, Dan was signed to be a savior, not an anchor. Good riddance. Now lets send Nash, Girardi and Staal packing and get this team on track!
