Rangers coach Peter Laviolette has ‘gotta go’: Boomer Esiason
NY Post
Despite the Rangers being in the thick of the Eastern Conference wild-card race, some are calling for head coach Peter Laviolette’s job — including Boomer Esiason.
The Rangers sit a point behind the Canadiens for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, though they have had their struggles, losing their last two games.
That includes a brutal 2-1 loss to the Flames on Tuesday night.
The radio host has now apparently seen enough.
“You would think that since the Rangers had a day off that they’d be a little bit more rested,” Esiason said on WFAN on Wednesday morning. “They were so disconnected, so disinterested … [Laviolette] has gotta go.”
In Tuesday’s lackluster loss, the Rangers had just 13 shots to Calgary’s 35 and looked flat throughout most of the game.
The Rangers have repeatedly failed to help themselves.

This is the Knicks right now. This is the team. These are the players. This is reality, for now and for at least a couple of weeks as Jalen Brunson’s right ankle continues to be safeguarded in a walking boot. The Knicks are taking the long view with Brunson, as they should. He’s done some light shooting. He still needs heavy healing.
It will be understandable if Giants fans fear the worst after seeing on Monday that edge rusher Azeez Ojulari will now be rushing the passer for the Eagles.
