First off I would love to see a new train station that you can actually walk through since it was awful what ended up becoming of Penn Station. Second I just think with the Devils getting a new arena and the Isles progression with that Lighthouse Project or whatever its called, MSG really needed to step it up and build a new hi-tech arena so that it can further live up to its name as the World's Most Famous Arena.

I don't see them as him being selfish in anyway and just stating the facts that the team isn't scoring because they play safe. I think the point of his comment is that people always say "you guys aren't scoring" so hes just saying that they play defensively and its not open hockey meaning they can't just kinda skate around and get open ice in their system and make it easy to score. they like to clamp down defensively and give the other team few chances. maybe im just missing something though.

That's a problem in the playoffs especially, especially against teams desperate for a tying goal (see Buffalo, Game 5) And when we do get a lead, we often tend to sit on it rather than going for the jugular.

Jagr's comments reflect that fact. You can't win a game 0-0 guys; we're gonna have to score in the playoffs.

bottom line, if only 1 of the 3 return, it most likely won’t be jagr, unless stupid sather gives hima rich, multi year contract that ruins the ranger future, and brings back the undue influence of re-signing posse members again.

thus, for all these true and obvious reasons, good riddance Jagr if you want a Ranger future for the young players in the org., real Rangers, not mercenaries.

Resting old man Shanny or Straka is fine by me. Uh Sam even if they win tonight they don’t clinch the 5th spot so I doubt Gomez will be sitting. Resting old man Shanny or Straka is fine by me.
