New York Rangers have just found their next captain as star player steps up for the role
New York Rangers star forward Vincent Trocheck opens up to the media and clears the air following recent speculation surrounding the Rangers locker room.
The New York Rangers season is off to a very rough start and has been spiraling out of control over the past several weeks, and recently it was announced that the team held a players only meeting to discuss general manager Chris Drury.
It was reported on X, that the players don't seem to have an issue with their head coach Peter Laviolette. The team has a good relationship with him, but it appeared the players had an issue with Chris Drury and the way he handled things with Jacob Trouba.
However, that may not be the case. Today after the New York Rangers practice star forward Vincent Trocheck addressed the media and opened up about what really went on behind closed doors.
«That could not be further than the truth. If we have a closed-door meeting, with just the players, I think the last that we'd do is complain about our general manager.»
It has nothing to do with management. They do their job. Chris is doing his job to try to put the best players on the ice to succeed. We are those players, and we have to go out there and preform. Do we what can to succeed.
I just wanted to clear the air on that. Obviously there's a lot of stuff circulating our team right now and when I see something like that, I don't know where it even comes from. That kind of frustrated me.»
Trocheck definitely didn't hold back his frustration regarding the speculation that has been surrounding the Rangers locker room.
Definitely nice to see someone standing up for the Rangers and being the voice of the locker room, which has led to many people believing Vincent Trocheck could and should be named the next captain of the New York Rangers.
Tonight the Rangers have a chance to prove that things are going to start to improve as they face off against the Dallas Stars at 8:00PM.
