The New York Rangers have announced that Peter Laviolette will be the 37th head coach in the history of the franchise.
This feels all too similar to when the New York Rangers hired Gerard Gallant two seasons ago. There is no denying the fact that Peter Laviolette has had a successful NHL coaching career, but it has been 17 years since he has led a team to win the Stanley Cup.
He's been around the block before with this being the fifth team that he's coached in the Metropolitan division. Can he be the guy that brings a championship back to New York City, below are my thoughts.
