Rangers coach Peter Laviolette has ‘gotta go’: Boomer Esiason

Despite the Rangers being in the thick of the Eastern Conference wild-card race, some are calling for head coach Peter Laviolette’s job — including Boomer Esiason.
The Rangers sit a point behind the Canadiens for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, though they have had their struggles, losing their last two games.
