Last night’s Minnesota Wild – Rangers game at the Garden was very boring. And we have the Wild’s coach, Jacques Lemaire, a former coach of the New Jersey Devils, for this sleepy-time display of hockey.

I read somewhere Lemaire is considering retiring at the end of the season.

He should quit now.

Why?

This guy is ruining hockey.

His coaching style sucks the life out of everyone – players, fans, the poor slobs calling the game, the beer vendors, etc. Why would anyone want a coach who preaches slow-it-down, take it easy, dump the puck, clog up the neutral zone hockey? I was getting tired at 7:30 last night. Thank goodness for Sean Avery (and as I was told by a Devils fan, and I concur, Rangers fans are showing plenty of ‘man love’ for Sean), the first period would have really put me to sleep.

Please, I beg the brain trust at Versus and NBC — never show another Minnesota Wild game until Lemaire quits.
