Today in NYR History August 22, 1977:
Jean-Guy Talbot becomes the 16th head coach in Rangers history.
Talbot taking over from John Ferguson, with whom he had played during his tenure with the Canadiens. As coach of the Rangers, Talbot was known for wearing a warmup suit behind the bench during games, rather than the normal business suit worn by most coaches. Talbot, a target of fans ire only lasted 1 season as coach of the Rangers in 1977-78 and was replaced after the club posted a disappointing 30-37-13 record.
