Look gals and guys, it stinks, but everything about the 98-04 Rangers stunk, and their drafting was atrocious. At least they got Dawes out of 03, and so far from 04 there's Dubi/Cally, and hopefully Korpi (he'll be back), Potter, and Byers. 05 there's been Staal. Gordie Clarke's done a better job since he took over and Anders Hedberg/Christian Rockstrom knows what they're doing. It took time but with guys like Anisimov, Grachev, Weisse, Del Zotto, and hopefully Bobby Sags, Carl Hagelin (who is getting MUCH better) and REALLY hopefully Stephan and Zaborskk, that's pretty solid.

He had taken boxing lessons during the summer. He tried to get into fights in the preseason and just took terrible beatings. That's when it became official to me that he could not be useful in any way, shape, or form to this organization. Our first round picks over the past decade have been just dreadful. The only one that has amounted to anything for us is Marc Staal. Granted, Cherepanov wasn't even remotely foreseeable, and Blackburn was also unforeseeable, but damn, the rest of the list is grim. 98: Malhotra (7th) 99: Brendl (4th) Lundmark (9th) 00: none 01: Blackburn (10th) 02: none 03: Jessiman (12th) 04: Montoya (6th) Korpedo (19) 05: Staal (12) 06: Sanguinetti (21) 07: Cherepanov (17) 08: Del Zotto (20) Awful. Just awful. I could go back to 1991 when we got Kovalev, but it's too depressing. I think I finally gave up hope on Jessiman last year during the preseason.

He's a stud for Minnesota. Mike Richards is scary fast though. Our top 2 lines centered by Gomez and Richards would make other team's heads spin. What about Burns? He’s a stud for Minnesota.

I'm gonna guess neither. Towel boys don't get those. I thought the question was who actually GETS a cup in the locker room 1st? I’m gonna guess neither. Towel boys don’t get those.
