New York Rangers hire Laviolette to replace Gallant as new head coach

Peter Laviolette has been hired as the new head coach of the New York Rangers, replacing Gerard Gallant.
Laviolette has extensive coaching experience in the NHL and has taken three teams to the Stanley Cup Final, winning with Carolina in 2006.
The Rangers parted ways with Gallant after losing in the first round of the playoffs and are looking to win their first championship since 1994.
Laviolette's coaching style is a better fit for the Rangers' fast, skilled roster compared to Gallant's approach.
The Rangers made the move with the goal of winning a championship as early as next season.
