The cap is going up to $56 million. when you look at it from that perspective, 4 million is about the same as him getting 3 mil with this cap. i've been saying all year not to overpay him, but with the new cap figure that high, I say pay him.

When In the beginning of his career, I barely noticed Girardi until it dawned on me that I had barely noticed Girardi, which was a good thing. I watch most games with the sound down or off, too, so if they are talking about a good play Bachman made, I miss it. Back to 1997: I had seats rather high up for the Gretz hattrick. My friend and I literally could not speak to each other, though in each other's face. The Garden was THAT loud. It was just incredible. I was at a preseason game where he and his daughter sat near me and my daughter. We said nothing. The Garden vision, after 1 period, showed him, and he spent an entire period signing autographs. He caught my daughter's eye (she was 6) and she waved and he waved. That night, she sent a letter to him saying that she felt badly that he could not enjoy the game with his daughter. About 1 month later, we get a signed card, from his address in California and a nice note. class act. A guy who never took choreographic lessons like Cindy! well, hopefully, Staalwart, he is playing a more conservative defensive game and I have just not noticed it as much…which is kind of the way it is with good defensemen.

I agree he hasn't played his game since he was back with JJ, and Dubi... I also think that Callahan brings some of the same things to the table...I love the stinky palm to the face... I feel bad for Avery thinking he's worth so much...He does bring intangibles to the table but just like the team seems to need him...he needs the New York Rangers... And I agree with Mara...he really is starting to play well... Seamus...I'm not sure I understand Backman's liability...I think defensively he has also started to step up...last night he stood up a few rushes at the blue line (unless that was someone else)... Don't forget he is young and it takes Defensemen a little time, Staal is the exception, not the rule...though he has made some Rookie mistakes. Night in and night out Staal just does his job and he does it with smart play...I venture to say he is the best Staal out of the mix, (taking into account his position, of course) but I think he brings more to the table than his brothers and its only his rookie season, he's only gonna get better!

No offense Sean! i can recall each one of those goals like they were yday. the sickie little Gretzky circle followed by the slapper in the back of the net.

I will never forget that game. It was unbelievable. SeamusORiley,
