Rangers fire Renney; Tortorella next?

The New York Rangers brought the axe down upon head coach Tom Renney early on Monday, after his club struggled to a 31-23-7 record. The Blueshirts have faded as late, winning two of their last 10 games and sputtering with the third-worst offense in the NHL.

Word out of New York is that the Rangers are currently in talks with former Lightning head coach and one-time interim coach John Tortorella to take the position on a permanent basis.

An announcement is expected to come later this afternoon from general manager Glen Sather.
