Sean Avery Makes His Feelings Extremely Clear on New York Rangers Head Coach Peter Laviolette
The former NHLer Sean Avery shared his brutal take on the New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette in a recent interview on Spittin' Chiclets.
Sean Avery, a controversial former NHLer renowned for playing a physical and dirty style, was recently invited on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast and talked about his former team, the New York Rangers.
The Rangers only won three out of their last 10 games and after an embarrassing 5-0 loss to the New Jersey Devils, fell to the seventh rank in the Metropolitan Division, tied with the New York Islanders at 33 points.
For Avery, the solution is simple to get the team back on the right track: management must fire Peter Laviolette as head coach.
In his own words:
"I'd fire him today," Avery said. "Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. You have to, you have to, guys. In a big market like that, Eastern Conference Finals last year were that close. It starts. Unfortunately, that's part of it. Yeah, the coach goes first, but that's where I get nervous.
"The coach goes, then who goes? Then, then who do you bring in? The whole system is broken, and the iPads on the bench. What do you want to see? You want to watch your release point on that one like, 'I need you in the game, fellas.'"
The Rangers appear poised to make massive changes, and Avery believes general manager Chris Drury must make a trade involving K'Andre Miller now, while his trade value is still great, just like he did with Kaapo Kakko a week ago:
"As far as K'Andre, you got to move him now," Avery said. "You got to move him now, while he has trade value, it's not going to work out. He's not a big-market guy. He doesn't have the demeanor of Ryan McDonough, because Ryan McDonough, when you put him in a war zone, he turns into a real warrior quick.
"So, if you're running the team, if you're managing that org chart, and you're also trying to stay in it, you move him now. You gotta move early before and Dru did a great job with Kakko getting a third and a sixth. I mean, that is a steal for that kid, an absolute steal."
