Time to Fire Sather, Again!

The Fire Sather chant was clearly audible on the broadcast last evening. That’s as it should be. Instead of boo-ing the players (who are what they are), the crowd has come to realize, once again, that it’s time to cry for the head of Glen Sather on a platter.

There were some halfhearted “Fire Sather” chants last season right before Sather canned Renney. But the blood thirsty fans were happy enough with Renney’s firing to buy Sather some more time to continue to fuck up the franchise. Not so this time. Rather then call for the head of John Tortorella, the fans are going right for the jugular of Glen Sather. Only problem is Torts will be a casualty if Jimmy Boy Dolan ever wakes up and smells his bottom line dropping into the toilet.

When Sather goes, he’ll be replaced by Messier. Messier will bring in Keenan. Schoenfeld, Tortorella and Sullivan will be out in the cold. It’s the typical corporate model. If you hitch your wagon to a CEO and they are deposed, you go down with that ship. I don’t think firing Tortorella could possibly buy Sather more time this time. I say this under the assumption that Jim Dolan has half a brain in his head.

I am praying that Sather gets fired before he does something shortsighted and destructive, like selling off our youth to purchase a bandaid for this team and save his sorry ass. Dolan already has his season subscriber money. He doesn’t give a damn about the regular season or the product he puts on the ice and calls entertainment. It’s only if the Rangers fail to make the playoffs that Jimbo will sit up and take notice. No playoff money might finally mean Sather’s ticket out of town on a rail.

Best case scenario for the fans, Dolan dumps Sather now and makes Moose GM. Messier trades, waives and eventually buys out Redden, Rozsival, Drury, Brashear, Boyle and Voros and brings down a bunch of “bubble” players from Hartford and re-starts the rebuild right now.

My face is starting to turn blue from saying this. But I’ll keep beating the horse even after it’s dead if it eventually gets the desired result.
