Rangers fire head coach Tom Renney and replace him with John Tortorella
In a desperate attempt to save a season in a nosedive, the Rangers Monday fired coach Tom Renney and replaced him with John Tortorella, a move designed to be a kick in the backside to a comatose roster.
John Tortorella has been fired as coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, four years after leading the team to its only Stanley Cup championship.
