NYR 2024 Exit Day: Peter Laviolette Media Availability | June 4, 2024 

Peter did good job. I think he's found out a lot about his team that he didn't before the playoffs.

Thanks for all the hard work this year, Peter! Thanks for the memories and the time and dedication it took to go far. Probably my second favorite Rangers season of all time.

You did so much better work than Gallant, unfortunately Panthers had more gritt and this team don't have it yet. Things may change next season, they may not, but thanks for the great season!

When the going gets tough Mika makes a drop pass to no one.

Peter did hell of job, speak to Drury and especially core players open their mind on weaknesses that happened and make them understand Florida is standard need get those 2nd players or depth to win

An amazing season thank you 🙏 looking forward to the future ❤

Hard work and determination and will make us better

Very happy with coach Laviolette. He can only do so much with what he had. Just imagine if this was Gallant? Those "good looks" would of meant a 4-0 sweep

Lavi is a great coach. Trust him behind the bench completely. I hope this core can rise to the occasion and put it together one of these years.

25 and Laviolette is the best Rangers coach of my life. Mitigated this teams known 5v5 issue as best he could. A healthy chytil a RW signing and some depth defensive moves alongside a big trade deadline move and this team can be a threat again. Got two years before a reboot when Panarins and Troubas contract ends. Let’s see

You did a great job. Certain players shutdown when it mattered most.

Great job this season coach. Players let us down

" We can get better on our game..." essentially saying we don't have to play like Florida did in the playoffs. Excuse me sir, Florida literally put on a clinic on how a team needs to play late in the playoffs and into the Finals. I am not the biggest fan of Lavy, I understand he had a nice year, but so did Gallant. The fact he's implying that the Rangers can force their "style" of play and win a cup tells me we are going in a circle with this franchise. How in the world have we not learned in the last decade, since 2014 that finesse and style points don't mean a thing in the playoffs where grit, desire, banging and wanting it more mean far more than a stat pat. SMH.

Fact remains that the Rangers showed no passion in the 3rd round. there was no grit. No anger. No playoff atmosphere. No physical play. Panarin refused to go into the corners. Mika disappeared as did Kreider. they played like it was a regular season game in November and not a playoff game in June. Florida simply wanted it more than the Rangers did. And that's the series in a nutshell.

You did a good job coach as they say you can only go to war with the players you have

Thanks for all amazing games this season coach !

Yes, Kakko can be that player, and he will most likely become that player on another team as most rookies who are jettisoned by the Rangers end up being.

The same players shut down every year in the playoffs.

Great coach. Great guy. Great family. He was my neighbor when he was with the Canes. Coached my son (and his) in the strike/lockout season the year before.....when they were 8.

Good job coach Lavi I’m not mad at the season almost gave me 2014 vibes so things look promising if we make the right moves this offseason #LGR

Get trouba out of here, give him his walking papers an give the captain job to someone who's a true warrior like trocheck.

Rangers need more power forwards, not enough grit to compete with a physical and skilled team like florida

Thank you coach all in for next season let's go rangers

I Love Coach Laviolette But He Should've Called For A Time Out During The Second And First Period And This Past Saturday.

A lot of softball questions. No ask about why didn't Jones get a game over Gus or Trouba? Why didn't Laf move to PP 1? Any consideration to moving either Kreider or Zib to another line? Why did Rempe play if he only go to get 4 mins? Any consideration of playing 7 D-Men?

You said you wanted to build from within Chris Drury, how do you feel knowing your AHL coach, who if you were true to your word would have been your NHL coach, has coached his way into the Finals?

To be honest I could feel it coming after Carolina took two games and almost had taken the third one in the row. I could see NY struggling offensively...

Coach overall did a great job. In the end the players on the ice need to get it done, and they didn't. Wasn't even close. Our snipers dissapeared under pressure. Igor kept us in every game, our forwards were just outplayed . Giveaway after giveaway after giveaway after giveway...How they are not embarrased? Florida is a great team. Now that its over i'll admit it. But missing open nets, not taking advantage of our chances, in the end is what did us in

Before 1994 Keenan knew he couldn't win a cup with the current team. Although they had good young talent Weight and Amonte, they traded them for tough players who can bang in a long series like Tikkanen, Matteau, Larmer, Noonan, Anderson, MacTavish. 2024 Ranger roster is way too soft as Panthers proved.

Peter has same first name, same birthday (without the year) as myself. he did a good job getting us to the final four- i''ll have to reserve my judgement until the next two seasons where I hope we do win a Cup obviously

You did more with this team than galant did ' but you need to get nastier ' bigger guys in order to go deep in the playoffs ' can't win with guys like trouba ' Mika and Miller folding like a cheap tent ' until you get those type of players with grit and size you won't win a chip ' should of learned when you got beat down by tampa 3 years ago ' Drury has some tough decisions to make

So let me get this straight. Trouba, Fox and Lingrin were playing hurt in the playoffs. There were 2 healthy defensemen available to play and Lavi did nothing. Not even dress a 7th dman to help out. This is a great coach?

Maybe they can work on the audio in the offseason so you can actually hear the questions that are being asked.

It would be nice to hear the questions.

Anyone notice that Trouba and Bread don’t do exit day interviews?

I believed in this team more than I believed in the Rangers any time since 2014. Matchups count and this was a bad matchup. This is something to build on, but Florida isn’t going to go away so the project of figuring them out starts now.

I pray we will do it next season

You did a good job as coach this season. Unfortunately, you were outcoached by Paul Maurice

I could tell they were playing hurt, they did their best, they're warriors. All I have to say is I can't wait for next season!👍

No Jacob trouba exit interview? Would really like to know his mindset when he went for that hit on Rodrigues in game 6. No way drury can have him back on the blue line to start next season

Thanks ttoubs

Move on from Mika and Trouba, bring in some more 16-game players, and let’s run this back with Lavy.

Lavi will win one here. He’s unbelievable coach..

First coach since Torts who actually gives a damn.

No holds bar need to win cup next season … forget about 1994… need to make team that is constructed to win 5 on 5 and other ways … details and smart skill wins

it’s going to be so hard to go through a whole regular season which we know is not real hockey.. more than any sport, the post season intensity picks up and you need to have battle tested players.. Ryan Lindgren was a beast this playoff and he should not be included in the defense sucking against the Panthers . i can’t get excited until the playoffs and we all know in hockey things can change season to season very quickly. it hurts to get this far and lose

Excellent coach. Gotta keep him here. I do think it was more than just one goal per game, though. Always felt like Rangers were chasing.

Trouba shoulda be sat and Jones shoulda been put in Mika shoulda been dropped down Certain things obviously weren’t working I like this coach but towards the end there idk what he was thinking

Pete a suggestion bring in Mark Messier and Adam Graves as special special assistants

How is the captain going to be the only guy that didn’t do on camera interview 😂😂 what an absolute plug

It's disgraceful how poorly and unmotivated the Rangers played the last 3 games of the Panthers series. They were up 2-1 at that point and couldn't even win one more game. That is disgraceful. This Rangers team has no heart or leadership.

Was Mika really injured and Panerin as well? I realize the panthers are dirty players but the Rangers could have unleashed Rempe or Trouba to counter that. The refs seem to turn a blind eye on a lot of the panther cheap shots as well.

what ever happened to mixing up the lines. Creating mismatches. Yeah it can work against you but in the words of Herm Edwards..."you play to win the game".

Хорошо сыграли , но немного не хватило , в следующим году кубок будет ваш мы верим в это

Bottom line Florida a better team period. They will win the cup!

So, playing Trouba was best for the team? Yikes.

Oh joy. We're back to not hearing the questions

Like Lavi, but don’t think this team could do any better than what we saw. One or two major changes are needed to get over this hurdle. Think Drury deserves another crack at it.

The Bread Man became extremely frustrated and it impacted his defense enormously (both forechecking and back checking). Also, he was fanning on shots .. missing the net .. and his body language and facial expressions were that of a beaten man .. too many mistakes on the ice .. the Cats should be renamed the BEASTS ... They beat you up and wear you out for 40 minutes .. that's why they OWN the 3rd period ..

As a Rangers fan, We lost to a Florida team that was clearly better, The rangers had 0 regulation wins against Florida in 9 Tries, Regular Season, and postseason combined

Hearing all kinds of BS about being "outcoached". Florida played at a level that the Rangers seemed to be incapable of. Now that we have already crowned the Panthers style of play as the model to mold a team around, Drury knows what the Rangers need.

Panthers are just getting lucky every round. One of those teams that just can’t lose for some reason.

We didn’t hav a Matteau Noonan or Anderson on the roster

Great season a lot of good things but please Drury make some changes to the supporting cast around the core guys if all goes perfectly hopefully Kakko Chytil Trouba and Lindgren are all gone

Disapointed in some of the top players, but it was really a great year. Some have suggested to blow up the roster. I think they need to finish the rebuild. Still holes in the roster. Waiting for Kakko to fill the top line RW has been a "miss." Move on.

Did you ever think,that just maybe,just maybe,with only 2 Stanley cups,n almost 100 years ,maybe,just maybe,the Organization,the team and the fans,are loosers,and I thought the Chicago Cubs and White Sox were bad,The Blackhawks have only 6 Cups,but that 3 times what the New Yorkers have,Shameful!,big bad ass rangers,need a lot more grit,or more,more,talent!Did you wear Igor out,could be!

All the Rangers should be angry with themselves and carry it over until next year, just like Sunrise did.

Get rid of trouba and get a gritty rw and give trocheck that C he earned it

He knows better but this is not the place and the time to talk about it. Period! So we'll take the optimism and another "wait t'ill next year" hopeful speech but frankly 3 years of playoffs runs with basically the same core of players should be enough for Chris Drury and the coaching staff to identify what's missing. If we saw weakness in the corners and players hearing footsteps times and times over leading to a ton of turnovers a head coach with decades of experience in the league saw it too. They had a spectacular season, as they did in 2014, 2015, 2022, 2023 but it's obviously never enough in New-York. There is always another team capable of getting the job done. It could be worse. I could be a Leafs fan. :(

The New York ranger one mistake was making changes. If these players and I have for got their name were on injury let them stay their don’t. Make changes when there was nothing broken. That’s was the NEW YORK RANGER mistake bringing back back players that has been out of the game if their is a change to make them make it but the rangers were fine. That’s how they lost last year as well make changes when their were fine playing their game. You bring in players not really ready to play I don’t care of their salary keep them off the bench and play what was working

The problem is that your core players, although they perform admirably during 82 games( which, to me, are preseason games) they are not built to compete for the right to claim the Holy Grail bka Lord Stanley. Lack of 5 on 5 play has been and still is the Achilles heel 2 times in 3 seasons reaching the ECF. No physicality whatsoever from your core players, i.e., Kreider , Parnarin, Zibangad. Defensemen, although young, still were shakey. You would think that they would learn from their experience having played in the playoffs before. Disappointing.

Really like you Lavi,but you were Outcoached Big Time by Coach Maurice

Clearly need different players, unrestricted players must go and get someone good for Kakko. Everyone must lift weights in the off-season, can’t even clear a puck….ridiculous.

A little late to get angry

Here we go. More words as usual and the same fans will make excuses and gravitate back to paying money to see this crappola. Move on with the hollow promises. These people are the same year after year.

Trouba played the entire playoffs on a broken ankle that only happens in hockey

Dont want to hear any more bullshit on how Panarin is going to be different in the Playoffs. The guy leaves right after the season..

If I'm being honest Drury should have hired Knoblouch. With ZERO head coaching experience before joining the Oilers he won 2 more games and now his team is in the SCF.

When is trouba interviewed? Joke

He hasn’t been here for the losses to the Kings and Lightning. As fans we see the same story repeating. One of lack of size and hitting. He doesn’t want to change style? Not good.

Don’t just attack the regular season. Build a slightly different kind of team. You can’t just run it back with the same guys. I don’t like his responses. Are you crazy? You were dominated!

Breadman regular season world class player u mean lmao and says all that about laffy so why didn’t you give him more minutes ??

Time to trade Mika and Panarin and get some real elite leadership in the locker room…Don Cherry always said, when the game is on the line the Russians go into hiding.

Bring Peter Laviolette back to Philly

Touba allegedly played with a broken foot

What year did Rangers ownership send out a letter to the fans? Was it 2017? Here we are 7 years later and they are not any closer to winning a cup. 🤦‍♂️ Ranger fans have to be the biggest suckers on the planet to believe anything Charles Dolan has to say.

The Lack of Discipline, Ferocity, and Tactics gave the club a repeat of The Turk. Practices, sicknesses, and overall moral killed this season. You can't blame it on the fans. You can all blame yourselves (minus shesterkin);"if im being honest."

Hey coach, you needed to adjust. You didn't defeat Florida all year in regulation, you needed to break up the bromance, bench Trouba, talk to K-Poke, tell Mika he's no Ovechkin and put Laffy on PP #1. You needed to use Zac Jones for his offense! You needed to play Rempe 20 mins. You let Florida push you around, you needed to address the fact that you didn't do well 5 on 5 and that coming from behind time after time is not a recipe for success. You say you just needed one more goal but you had exactly 6 high danger shots in game 6. Whatever, go NY Rangers.

Trade panarin. He disappears in the playoffs. You won’t win a cup with a guy like panarin as your best player, you just don’t.

Stop lying to yourself NEVER CLOSE

Good things come to those who wait. Great coach great season we'll learn from this and be much better are you watching this Drury i hope you are because you need to make this team better bigger and stronger then this year I'm a huge Rangers fan for 55 yrs and I'm hoping that we get to the cup finals and win it all in the near future. GO RANGERS GREAT YR, GOD BLESS .🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

We could of kept galant for this.

GET RID OF JACOB TROUBA OR THIS TEAM IS UNSERIOUS!!!

Come back next year with a new coach and a new team except Igor and troch

Excuses

Good job giving up William Lockwood and Niko mikkola

Too many cops support this team. Probably why it’s cursed.

I think we need 2 strong gritty players To win SC cuz the window of winning is Closing. Been fan since 74 i want to see SC in my lifetime. I was away last time in military 🪖🪖🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️ when they won.

Peter did hell of job, speak to Drury and especially core players open their mind on weaknesses that happened and make them understand Florida is standard need get those 2nd players or depth to win
