Comments on: Rozsival to go under the knife http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/06/11/rozsival-to-go-under-the-knife/ News and insight about the New York Rangers Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:02:20 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Brandon http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/06/11/rozsival-to-go-under-the-knife/comment-page-1/#comment-89438 Brandon Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:41:16 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/06/11/rozsival-to-go-under-the-knife/#comment-89438 What a morning! Just ran into Darius Kasparitis in the lobby of my building and ended up riding the elevator up with him to our stops. My guess is he was there to see his lawyer or accountant. We talked for a little while and he told me he was going back to Russia to play in the Super League saying he was "done with the NHL." I asked him about Jags, as I know they're friends, he laughed and said the Euro leagues were offering lots of cash. Dude biked from the upper east side to wall st. downtown. That's a serious trek and he was hardly breaking a sweat - not to mention he's a beast (no homo). What a morning!

He is completely worthless. Remember how we all blamed Malik for being awful? Now we see what Malik had to deal with and why he was forced to be so bad so often. All of a sudden, Malik leaves the lineup and BAM! there is Rozsival turning the puck over or passing up a great shot or wussing out of getting the puck in the corner. I could go on, but I digress... SIGN ORPIK!!!!! True Fans, I know you hate Penguins and former Penguins, but it would really be nice to get a d-man with some uhh, "Intestinal fortitude". I haven't wanted the Rangers to sign a free agent as bad as I want them to sign Orpik in a really long time... Either that or trade the Wolfpack and Chris Drury for Ovech!!!

Personally I'd rather sign Orpik and Hainsey with Commodore as a backup, but that's just me.

No joke! Google it. Kaspar –

"Krog capped a magical season by winning the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as the most valuable player of the 2008 Calder Cup Playoffs..." It was a "magical" moment too, when he was demoted after not being able to prove himself in the NHL. LOL!!

This year, I sure hope Hank remembers not to be "weird" around Maaahtahn during the awards festivities.... @@ Actually, in Canada, they’re saying that Nabokov has a real good chance at winning the V tonight.

I believe he was projected (at the time) to go around #15 or so.
