Alain Vigneault has received his fair share of criticisms for his questionable decisions, but not every New York Ranger performed poorly because of him.

The New York Rangers have started this season in the dumpster. Despite defensive improvements the team is struggling with a slew of major issues. Perhaps one of the most clear, is Alain Vigneault. Vigneault has coached the Rangers to a Stanley Cup Final, as well as an Eastern Conferance Final. But, Vigneault has a fair share of issues. It is often cited that Vigneault negatively affects his players in ways of personnel usage.

Some players, however, do not really have a chance to blame the often stubborn head coach for their issues.
