Rangers fans enraged over Chris Drury contract extension

The Blueshirt faithful seem to be a bit restless. Following the news that Rangers general manager Chris Drury signed a multi-year contract extension to remain in the role, upset fans took to social media to voice their displeasure, especially after a season that saw the Rangers miss the postseason with a 39-36-7 record.“Is there any Ranger fan that is happy Chris Drury is extended and staying? Speak up now,” one person wrote on X. “You have got to be effing kidding me?! Chris Drury should be fired,” a second person chimed in. “When parody becomes real life lol I wouldn’t trust Chris Drury to manage a Starbucks but here we f–kin’ are,” another fan posted. “Coool cool cool cool cool.Hey siri what would happen if I jumped off msgs roof.

Would Chris drury be in any way liable and get fired then?” someone else posted. While fans don’t seem overly enthusiastic, Drury has presided over a Presidents’ Trophy-winning campaign during the 2023-24 season that also saw the Rangers reach the Eastern Conference final. The Blueshirts made the playoffs in three of Drury’s four seasons at the helm after replacing John Davidson as president and Jeff Gorton as general manager in 2021. “I am pleased that Chris will continue to lead the Rangers hockey operations in his role as President and General Manager,” Rangers owner James Dolan said in a statement.“Over his tenure, Chris has shown passion for the Rangers, relentless work ethic, and a tireless pursuit of excellence.

While we are all disappointed in what transpired this past season, I am confident in his ability to guide this organization to success.”In a statement released as part of the announcement, Drury said that he was “honored” to sign the extension and said he was looking “forward to continuing our work this offseason to help us reach our goals for next season and in the coming years.”...
