The only two coaches that advanced past the first round the last two years were Sutter and Tortorella, the guy does get results even if his style of play or coaching isn't the greatest. He seems to be the type of coach that has a short shelf life though, as he ends up pissing off his star players after a few years.
Although the Rangers weren't that great of team, and he was saddled with a few bad contracts as said before. Really making it to the second round this year, and losing to the Bruins was a good season for them. I see them doing worse next year unless some major roster moves are made.
