Former New York Rangers Head Coach Gerard Gallant joins Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple, and Mike Rupp on Episode 49 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast presented by bet365. Gallant looks back on his time behind the Rangers bench, the pressure of coaching in New York, developing young stars like Alexis Lafrenière, Kaapo Kakko, and K'Andre Miller, and whether their usage was fairly criticized. He also reflects on the Rangers' deep playoff runs, Chris Kreider’s breakout season, coaching in Vegas and helping build the Golden Knights into a powerhouse, and what made that expansion group so special.

Turk also shares stories from his KHL experience in Shanghai, coaching personalities across the NHL, and opens up about the current coaching landscape around the league where successful coaches are getting shorter and shorter runways. Plus, the guys react to Gallant’s comments and dive deeper into what went wrong for the Rangers, coaching turnover across the NHL, and why building a Stanley Cup contender may be harder than ever.

Presented by bet365: Whatever the moment, it's never ordinary.
