The Rangers fire Peter Laviolette

The New York Rangers had an awful season. The team, who were seen as favorites in the East this season, had a year of misery that ended even before the start of the playoffs.
And off the ice, it was chaos as well.
The big question was whether Peter Laviolette would survive all of this… and the answer is no: he just got fired, along with Phil Housley.The #NYR have fired head coach Peter Laviolette and associate head coach Phil Housley.
