Drury is a brick

that is something that needs to be fixed by the NHL. that bs that Niedermayer and Selanne and Forsberg etc pulled has to stop. now Sundin is acting that way too.

either a player is on your team roster from day 1, or his cap hit should be a full one. I am talking about vets holding out, for money or indecision, or hiding in Europe.

case in point, if a guy plays one month for 1 mill, then his cap hit should be 6 mill.

that will stop this bs of guys playing partial seasons, which is unfair to everyone, especially season ticket buyers, who do not get reductions in their prices for guys jaking it in Europe for 2/3 of a season, then saying here I am. screw them.

Guys-, Drury is as boring as watching golf—during a delay. I’ve seen him give maybe 2 interviews this year and he looked like he wanted to shoot himself.

I like the guy, but I see Gomez wearing the C.

Gomez is the animated, chatty one who shows the emotion (i.e., Devils-Rangers round one).

I think Drury gets the C give Gomer and a d man the A’s (maybe Dubi and Staal if they are willing to put that seponsibility on the kids)

I take it back about Drury versus Gomer in the vocal department. I was wrong.

What I was referring to was Drury’s willingness to mix it up and get physical on the ice. He fought some dude this year, I think it was when one of the D-men got cheap shotted, I can’t remember. He knows when to amp up the on-ice emotion. I don’t see that as much from Gomer.

I also saw Drury throwing the body a load more times than Gomer. And Drury sacrifices his body for the team way more.

I love Gomer’s offensive play, but the guy threw maybe one bodycheck all season. He is the offensive leader on this team now. No question. I like him a lot.

But the intangibles go to Drury…in my book. I know Salty will kill me now.

I guess we can agree it will be between Drury and Gomer for the C.

Mara howeve, is a fun guy to get an autograph form. He is very nice and joked with Jo (since he is a Sox season ticket holder nad she a Yankee fan)

uh yea, Gomez is way more vocal then Drury… Jo was waiting outside a Stadium once and Drury walked over to her, asking if she wanted anything signed.. she almost died of shock that he spoke… (and offerend an autograph, if you don’t know he tends to try and get through asap… not as a jerk becuase he will sign, but he doesn’t usually hang around like some of the others… Gomez runs through also in case you’re keeping track)

Tomas Pock is not lacing up this year for the Rangers or in any future years. I repeat, Tomas Pock’s days are numbered.

He’s not going to be in the lineup and you can’t actually give me one good reason he should be in the lineup.

The “out” clause in Jagr’s contract can only be exercised with a heavy financial and physical penalty, death by KGB torture.

There’s almost no cap room to sign Jagr – he’d come over for $1million after living like a god in Russia? Doubtful. He’s worshipped there, he’ll be one of the best in the CHL (perhaps only second in production to his linemate, Cherapanov). Thanks Jags – it was nice while it lasted. Tons of memories: scoring in the first minute on the first shots of season openers. Getting drilled while scoring against Pitts in the post-season. 54 goals. The not-quite Hitler like mustache. Sweet Caroline! Thanks, and good luck.
