LI Joe – I started watching hockey at the start of the 96-97 season. I had been watching those strongest man competitions on espn2 and got to leaving it on that channel a lot. The first game that i ever saw was the Rangers it was Wayne Gretzsky,s first game as a Ranger. About a week later i saw a Penguins game and saw Jagr and that was it i was hooked! Eleven years later and i’m still watching.

Why would a Kentucky resident follow the NY Rangers? No more horses to feed?

No,Salty Seed that was not me outside the garden taunting the refs after a game last season. I live in Kentucky i’ve never been to NY. It sounds pretty funny though. Whoever she was she sounds like a nut!

yes Kaspar would have to clear waivers but the claiming team would have to pay his whole salary and count it vs the cap. so we would not have to pay. the only problem would be if he injures one of our guys via his head hunting and knee hunting ways. I’d rather he go to a western conf team or Hartford.

Anyone know if this practice is open to the public? I live like 30-45 mins away from West Point. If anyone knows, that would be a great help

Does Kaspar have to clear waivers to be sent to Hartford? That wouldn’t be good if the Isles picked him back up.

agree with Sasha. also no way we’ll be responsible for 1/2 Kaspars salary when we can just leave him in Hartford.

Doodie Machetto,

I think you are incorrect. The team only pays half of players salary if the player’s been picked up from waiver on his way back to the NHL after a stint in the minors. If he gets picked up on the way to the minors, team that takes him is responsible for his salary in its entirety.
