- The New York Rangers have agreed to terms on a multi-year contract with John Tortorella to take over for Tom Renney, who was fired as head coach earlier Monday, sources tell Sportsnet.
The deal was completed after Tampa Bay agreed to release Tortorella from his contract.
The Rangers opened 10-2-1, but 10 losses in the last 12 games has knocked the team out of contention for the Atlantic Division title and placed it in danger of missing the playoffs completely.
In recent home games, fans had chanted for Renney to be fired.
General manager Glen Sather didn't immediately name a replacement. Yay for Tortorella. Love him as a coach, and with a team that actually has a goalie, I look for big things from him. Great motivator. | |

| That's a great move for the Rangers, now they have a chance of getting a whole lot better. Hopefully their losing streak will end. | |
