Laviolette is well known for his success in the NHL, having led the Carolina Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup victory in 2006 and the Nashville Predators to the Stanley Cup Final in 2017. He also has a long history of success with the Philadelphia Flyers, leading them to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2008 and 2010.
Laviolette is known for his aggressive style of play, which emphasizes speed and skill. He also emphasizes discipline and structure, which should help the Rangers become more consistent and successful.
The Rangers have been in need of a head coach for some time now, and Laviolette should be able to provide the team with the leadership it needs. He is also familiar with the Rangers organization, having served as an assistant coach in New York from 1999-2001.
The Rangers are hoping that Laviolette can help turn around their fortunes and get them back to competing for the Stanley Cup. He has proven himself to be a successful coach in the NHL, and his experience should be invaluable for the Rangers.
Laviolette will be taking over a team that has struggled in recent years, but he is confident that he can help them reach their potential. With his experience and leadership, the Rangers should be able to make a return to the playoffs and compete for a championship.
