End Of The Road For Trottier

by Steve Giacobello
After 54 games, and a disappointing record of 21-26-6, Bryan Trottier was fired as head coach of the New York Rangers by GM Glen Sather. After three consecutive losses in which the Rangers were out-scored a combined 16-5, Glen Sather had seen enough. Trottier, in his first role as a head coach, was unable to get any positive results or come close getting the Rangers to live up to the high expectations that were expected of them. Sather said that his decision had more to do with the lack of discipline and accountability that has been put on the team rather than the overall position of them.
