After just one season behind the bench of the Edmonton Oilers, Pat Quinn has decided to step down as head coach of the Edmonton Oilers. It was certainly a season to forget for the veteran NHL bench boss, as the dreadful Oilers finished dead last in the league with 62 points and a record of [...]
By Jon Gabrielle, NY Rangers correspondent Less than a week ago after the Rangers hung 7 unanswered goals on the Columbus Blue Jackets, Vaclav Prospal, the Czech Republic native, uttered these words, “it just tells you the scoring is here.” Really Vinny?
