nasty – the worst of a player laughing in the face of defeat was Vic hadfield in the penalty box in game 7 vs the flyers. that caused many ranger fans to switch to the isles and also led to hadfield leaving the rangers. ah the bad memories.

Kaspar

I posted an article last week or so from Foxnhl.com from one of their writers – Wondering when the Rangers were going to give him a job. He said he wanted to take a few years off to spend with his family. But now is ready to work. And he wants to work in the Rangers organization. Hmmmm Sather’s contract possible up? Hmmmmm Moose running the Rangers. I like the sound of that. BC if Mess runs the Rangers – Renney is sure to be fired…

Interesting question is who stays and who goes after this season. So many players to sign and does Sather comeback for another stunt or does he give in and go back to Edmonton?

love the shanny talk lol. Give me a break. The guy didn’t fit on this roster. Apparently he didn’t fit into the other 28 teams’ plans either. He’s been looking for a job for half the season…am I missing something?

True BLue

Don’t disagree with your assesments about Pru and Korp. Just think you are not giving Dawes as much credit as he deserves. A good hockey player should not be measured on just goals and assists. To say that Dawes is in a funk lately to me shows you have not been watching him of late. With that said I missed the pitt game on sunday (first game i’ve missed in over 3 seasons) and I heard Dawes did not have a great game in the defensive zone. Anyway, I think we are both in agreeance here Reeney being a dope for taking out Pru and Korp…. just not agreeing on who should come out. Not an easy answer… If it is up to me…. we go out with same group as we did on sunday.

Parros, Dawes has 1 point in his last 5 games. What’s keeping him in the lineup? My point is that Renney has shown a clear disfavor towards Fritsche (obviously) as well as Prucha and Korpi. Prucha and Korpi haven’t been playing great the last couple games but with the exception of Drury against the Blackhawks, no forward has stood out. Korpi did setup Dubi’s beauty of a goal and Prucha had a nice streak of production right before that. Given that those players are working hard and may be the only exciting forwards on this team in addition to the fact that he’s already sat them both pretty lengthy amounts of time, why not keep them in and sit players who haven’t been sat (either ever or in the past couple months) and are now under-achieving?! That would be Dawes, Gomez, and Naslund. He could also sit Shjoestrom, who I think has been playing his role as a 4th liner, but if he wants to get a bruiser in there substitute Voros for the size.

Done.

SP, those numbers are so he can be bought out or traded to a small budget team that has cap space, but not actual money

Foolery, sounds about right.
