Dear Brad,

love, NYR Fans and New York Media

Dear Brad, Your season was so bad it took me a minute to understand that this:

 was you scoring a goal and you are showing your happiness and this was not you pouting about a cross ice pass that didn't work, a pass to the other team  and not you trying to get away from an angry mob of fans.

Not a good sign. Love, Siobhan

Dear Brad, Puts some clothes on and practice.

love Everyone

Dear Brad, Every time you "tried", we all were like

Dear Brad, You are the running man, the other animal (hint: not the horse) is the angry mob ready to hunt you down, 

Dear Brad, Step is the guy in front of the camera, your season is defined as the other guy...

Dear Brad, This should have been a clue,

#15 Derek "Dors on the Rocks*" Dorsett

*We made this nickname up because poor forgotten child doesn't have one with the team.

Yep, that about sums up your career with the Rangers so far....

Dear Derek, Thank you for this fantastic gif.

 love, Elissa & Siobhan

Dear Derek, You took some really dumb penalties in the playoffs, which made us feel

 but other than that, you mostly made us feel like,

Here is to hoping a new coach and a new season will make you and us a little more excited that your on the team, love NYR Fans

Final Grade:

Much like this gif, you didn't give us anything to even complete a sentence or grade for, so that's well a positive for not being a complete negative?

Dear Derick, Thanks for the Washington series,

love NYR Fans & Hank

Dear Derick, We want more of these next season,

Thanks. Love, NYR Fans (& Hank)

Dear Derick, Thank you for making the Gaby trade not feel like a complete fleecing,

love NYR Fans

love Hank PS Never take fashion advice from Zucc

Dear Derick, Why was it the rest of the season and the Washington series you were playing

 and then against the Bruins we were kinda like,

love, NYR Fans

Final Grade:

Since everyone not named Hank or McD shat the bed in Boston too, we are grading on potential of a full season under a new coach.
