  Boston.com / Sports / Hockey / N.Y. Rangers name Tom Renney head coach   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Tom Renney is ready to rebuild the New York Rangers, no small task considering the team has missed the NHL playoffs seven straight years.
Renney went 5-11-0-4 after taking over from Glen Sather, who stepped down Feb. 25 to focus solely on being the general manager of the struggling club.
Renney, formerly a head coach with Vancouver, was already in the Rangers' front office before joining Sather's coaching staff at the start of last season.

 CBC Sports Online: NHL Playoffs 2006
Renney is one of the leading candidates to win the Jack Adams Trophy as this year's coach of the year, but you wouldn't know it by the way his club has performed in the playoffs.
One has to question why Renney felt compelled to make such a drastic move so early in the series, especially when they were minus Jagr (the club's best forward) and Kasparaitis (their top defenceman), and were playing on the road.
Renney admitted that he considered bringing in young reinforcements from New York's American Hockey League affiliate in Hartford earlier in the series, but a sense of loyalty to the players who propelled the Rangers into the post-season for the first time in nine years prevented him from doing so.

Tom Renney hasn't used the press to deliver messages to referees throughout the season.
Renney's resisted ever since the Rangers acquired Sykora in January - the coach is concerned about defensive shortcomings - but the Devils were once concerned about that, too, when Sykora played there.
They were concerned, that is, until they gave him the opportunity and watched him fire away from 60 feet with a heavy shot that nearly always found the net and produced numerous rebound opportunities for hungry teammates.

On Tuesday, July 6, the Rangers announced that Tom Renney will shed his 'interim' status and become the full-time coach of the Blueshirts heading into the 2004-05 season.
What will be important for Tom now is bringing in his own staff and have that staff start working together, starting right now, season or not.
He knows he is the boss, he has to hire his own staff and it doesn't matter if you are a 19-year-old kid with this team or a 30-year-old veteran, he is the boss and everybody has to be accountable.
