CWgatti-That’s hillarious about the Three Stooges.

Alright, with Fritsche out of the way, can they please now either give Anisimov a shot as a 3rd line center or call up a 7th dman?

It’s surprising that the Rangers kept Fritsche around this long, given how little he played. I’m sure management assumed they would have had an injury or two by now that would have enabled Korpikoski, Prucha and Fritsche to get more playing time.

For a guy who is only 23 and been in the NHL since ‘03-’04, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Fritsche develop into a legitimate 2nd or 3rd line player over time. Too bad there are just too many players ahead and behind him for that development to take place.

That said, the one time Fritsche was on between periods at the beginning of the season or when the Rangers were in Switzerland he said something like “I’m not going to change my game now that I’ve come to NY, I’m just going to keep on playing the same way I’ve always played.” I’m nitpicking but it struck me as a really bonehead comment for a guy who was a throw in on a trade and fighting for one of the last roster spots. Maybe that’s why he never got a real shot…

Doodie – They’re spending almost $5 million on Nylander anyway, haha, along with a no-movement clause! It would have been interesting to see if only Gomez came without Drury, since part of the reason they signed the first day was coming here together. Maybe with Gomez, Nylander, and Jagr locked in here, no Redden! Ah, the possiblities. Or, we could have had Nylander, Cullen, and Dubinsky down the middle, with real room for Anisimov after Cullen’s contract expired.

New Renney word:

can?tan?ker?ous? ?[kan-tang-ker-uhs]

disagreeable to deal with; contentious; peevish: a cantankerous, argumentative man.

Quick thoughts.

Voros for Prucha – terrible move, Prucha was stellar in recent games, a real dynamite. With Voros we’re looking for additional 2-3 stupid offensive zone penalties. Again, I think Renney simply doesn’t like Petr.

Fritsche to waivers – good move althought I think he could (should) be traded for draft pick. Please stop crying and don’t even make me laugh, he is not and never gonna be better than Korpedo or Dubi. Fritsche didn’t show nothing that impressed me, absolutely nothing. So stop it. He’s 4th liner at best.

Go Rangers!

SP: He still would have taken one of the contracts (presumably Drury since Gomez was supposed to be Nylander’s replacement).

Still, having Nylander with Jagr last year would have probably gotten Jags to that 84 point plateau, triggering his option year. It also would have really hurt the Caps: Imagine them without an extra 4 million to sign/resign their players.

I don’t think that’s a good idea. Orr wont appreciate the baby batter in the towels, and im sure the rest of the team wouldn’t either.

GO RANGERS !!
