The Rangers faced life after elimination Wednesday, with their head coach and two star players contemplating their futures.
Coach Gerard Gallant said he hadn't yet spoken to GM Chris Drury about his future, which has been the subject of much speculation since the Rangers were eliminated in the first round by the rival Devils in Game 7.
Gallant did not take part in postseason player interviews, although he said he also didn't take part in them after last season.
"Nobody from this organization told me anything," Gallant said. "I'm coming in here after what I think were two successful years. We had one bad week and that cost us. If I can't stand by my record and what I've done -- and not just my record here -- I think there's something wrong. I think it's pretty good. But we're in New York and people put stuff out there, and that's fine.
"... I can't believe I have to answer some of these questions about me getting let go or getting fired, brought up by the media. Disappointing."
Gallant is signed through 2025, according to Cap Friendly.
