What Gerard Gallant said after the win over Carolina

Gerard Gallant met with the media following the Ranger win over Carolina and said (NYR, MSG):

  • Are you seeing more resilience, “Yea, we stayed around…we’re a good team, we have a lot of good hockey players and you find a way to stick around and win a hockey game. For two periods I just didn’t like the way we played, we battled hard, but we never had puck possession in our zone, we didn’t get inside enough, didn’t compete hard enough in the offensive zone. After that, in the third, it was excellent. I saw a lot of good things, we competed well. I thought we competed for 60 minutes, but the last 20 was the way we can play.”

Updates from the Rangers on Wednesday

4 PM: Gerard Gallant spoke after practice and said (NYR):

  • Why did you change up the PP units, “just trying to get em going a little bit, get it back to where it should be. We gotta get more chances, gotta create more and, again, we played against one of the best PKs in the league last night, they did a good job. We’re just a little stale and hopefully get more going, put them in a little bit different position, some of the guys. It should be good.”

What Gerard Gallant said after the loss to Carolina

Gerard Gallant met with the media following the Rangers loss to Carolina and said (NYR, MSG):

  • On the game, “the game started off, the first 8-10 minutes I thought they outplayed us, then the second half of the first I thought we played really well and then after that it wasn’t near good enough. They were a much better team, the game shouldn’t have been that close and fortunately for Shesty he kept us in it and gave us a chance.”
