- Many might’ve seen David Quinn’s decision to shake up the defensive pairings after one bad game as the Rangers head coach pressing the panic button. However, if you take a closer look at the.
The Rangers opened the season not how they wanted to but with the result they earned with their effort. While the game did not meet the hype and expectations of what fans were hoping for after almost 6 months without hokey, it was a reminder.
This is still a process.
New York Rangers: David Quinn tells the truth
After the loss last night, David Quinn called what the Rangers played “hope hockey.” The third year head coach explained that the start and the effort was not going to cut it this season.
He acknowledged the rookies weren’t the problem, and there was plenty of blame to go around. More on the painful lessons later.
A night of firsts for the Rangers
Kaapo Kakko and Alexis Lafrenière made some Blueshirts history last night. It was the third time in franchise history that at least two teenagers played in a season opener.
The first time was in 1942-43 in Toronto, where Bill Gooden, Joe Bell, and Lin Bend took the ice. Then again in 1943-44 in Toronto with Don Raleigh and Billy Warwick.
Also, according to NHL Stats and Information, last night’s game was the first time in Rangers history that they had seven players 22 years old or younger all appear in a season-opening game. (Filip Chytil, Adam Fox, Brett Howden, Kaapo Kakko, Alexis Lafrenière, Ryan Lindgren, and K’Andre Miller)
And finally, it was even mentioned in the broadcast on MSG, all 6 defenseman that played last night were American born. Another Blueshirts first.

New York Rangers will practice at the MSG Training Center at Noon.

David Quinn is an Irish social and religious commentator. From 1996 to 2003, he was the editor at The Irish Catholic. He served as the religious and social affairs correspondent for the Irish Independent from 2003 to 2005. He has often appeared on Irish current affairs programmes. Since 2007, Quinn has been the Director of the Iona Institute advocacy group. Quinn has campaigned against the liberalisation of Irish abortion laws, the introduction of same-sex marriage and the legalisation of assisted suicide. He is a member of the Dublin branch of Legatus, which promotes Catholic values in corporate business,[1] for those who meet stringent qualification criteria.[2] He was educated at St Paul's College, Raheny and studied at NIHE Dublin (now Dublin City University), graduating with a degree in Business Studies.
He is also a regular contributor to the Irish edition of The Sunday Times.
Activities[edit]
Iona Institute[edit]
In January 2007 Quinn founded the Iona Institute, a Roman Catholic advocacy group promoting families based on traditional marriage and the practice of religion.[3] He is the current Director of the Iona Institute.[4]
Abortion[edit]
David Quinn supported Ireland's previous near total ban on abortion, and has appeared many times in popular debates on the topic of abortion in Ireland, to defend the Eighth Amendment.
Euthanasia[edit]
David Quinn has campaigned against the legalisation of euthanasia.[5]
LGBT rights[edit]
Quinn has spoken in favour of Section 37 of the Employment Equality Act, which allows religious schools to discriminate, and fire employees who don't match their ethos, which can be used to fire gay teachers in Catholic schools,[6][7] with the Iona Institute recommending that it be kept.[8] He is opposed to Ireland's Gender Recognition Act for transgender people.[9] In 2010, he was opposed to legal recognition of same-sex in the form of civil partnerships.[10][11] He campaigned unsuccessfully for a No vote in the 2015 same-sex marriage referendum[12]
In the course of the referendum campaign, Professor John A. Murphy, an Irish historian and former member of Seanad Éireann, wrote to The Irish Times. In his letter, he described the constitutional amendment, which permitted same-sex marriage and extended constitutional protection to families based on such marriages, as 'grotesque nonsense.'.[13] Following this, Mr Quinn tweeted[14] 'Proposed change to marriage 'grotesque nonsense'... Great letter by Prof John A Murphy in @IrishTimes today #MarRef'. Mr Quinn was criticised for this Tweet by drag queen and gay rights activist Rory O'Neill (also known by his stage name, Panti Bliss), who wrote: 'I can think of lots of things that are grotesque. Extending constitutional protection to all families is not one of them... I would call it 'fair', 'reasonable', 'compassionate', 'considerate', 'respectful', or even 'the very least we can do'. But not 'grotesque'.' [15][16]

I think it's very revealing that David Quinn is prepared to endorse the use of the word 'grotesque' about gay relationships and families. I can think of lots of things that are grotesque. Extending constitutional protection to all families is not one of them.
