The one thing from Gerard Gallant’s Rangers intro that didn’t make sense
NY Post
Regarding the Chris Drury-Gerard Gallant Rangers:
1. The one thing that I don’t quite get from Gallant’s introductory press conference Tuesday was when the incoming coach cited the Rangers’ next-game response to the Tom Wilson incident as evidence of their leadership, toughness and ability to compete against the league’s brawniest teams. Yes, it was admirable that the Blueshirts didn’t shrivel and turn tail 48 hours later, but I interpreted their reaction as completely disconnected from hockey and that did nothing to address the club’s lack of players with the smash-mouth mentality that is required for success in this NHL playoff era.

The National Football League has been cracking down on celebrations that may look like guns – but Patrick Mahomes apparently missed the memo.
SALT LAKE CITY — Mikal Bridges understood why he did not return to Saturday’s game.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Knicks could not fully salvage a two-way clunker Saturday night, and their longest winning streak of the season is history.
If Brian Daboll will be fighting to keep his job across these next seven weeks, it is not lost on Tommy DeVito that he is the one who has been entrusted to help his coach save it.
