Everybody who follows the Beloved Blueshirts – including Pluto The Pup -- believes that Mike Sullivan will be – if he hasn't secretly has been anointed already – the next Rangers coach. That is, everyone except the chap who's supposed to name him – Chris Drury – and the coach, himself. Even the New York Post." Well, almost. Rangers Reportedly Won't Let Any Team Outdo Them In Pursuit Of Mike Sullivan [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/d3e6060c-6485-4a2a-82ca-d6a245efae23.jpeg] Rangers Reportedly Won't Let Any Team Outdo Them In Pursuit Of Mike Sullivan Since Mike Sullivan parted ways with the Pittsburgh <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/pittsburgh-penguins" target="_blank">Penguins</a> on Monday, rumors have linked him to the New York <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/" target="_blank">Rangers</a>. [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/latest-news/rangers-reportedly-wont-let-any-team-outdo-them-in-pursuit-of-mike-sullivan] The Post headline – IF HE WANTS IT – suggests that Sullivan hasn't made up his fertile mind – I'm just guessing – mind. The Maven is very confident that Sully has made up his mind; and for all the right reasons: 1. He'll make enough moolah to buy Santo Domingo. 2. He'll be free to pick his own assistant -- hopefully John (I Can't Get Coaching Out Of My System) Tortorella. 3. He'll be allowed to bench Mika Zibanejad but only on Swedish holidays and only if Magic Z gives him permission. 4. He'll be allowed to watch Paul Maurice on tv once a week so as to learn how to be a winning coach. 5. He'll be allowed to name a captain but only if it's J.T. Miller because J.T. will sit in the corner and sulk if he doesn't get the coveted "C." 6. He'll be allowed to tell MSG Security to send two cops up the next time Dancing Larry does his imitation of King Kong with a hernia. 7. He'll be allowed to put Matt Rempe on the power play because if he doesn't The Skating Giraffe will put Sully on his lap and give him a good spanking. 8. He'll explain to Chris Kreider that it's not – I repeat – NOT a sin to get an assist once in a great while. 9. He'll be allowed to ask Big Al Lafreniere one question: "How did you ever become the first overall Draft pick?" 10. In April he'll be allowed to ask Chris Drury one question: "How come I got fired?"
