“Drury actually has 10 Powerplay goals.

Statistic surprised me considering I didnt think we had 10 PPG as a TEAM.”

-I laughed, then sort of cried at the fact that if we knew how to score pp goals we might be #1 in the east not 9th

cjp- one thing that really gets me about dru is that he never ever has a good position to shoot. he is always taking bad angle shots. he is too small to be in front of the net, but he tries playing like ryan smith and isnt as fast and isnt as good in close. he gets lucky tip ins that amount to half his goal production. and the 10 ppgs he has, thats all well and good, but 5 on 5 he has 10. 10 all year!!!!

bulldog- i actually was very optimistic about the season and thought who better a captain than drury. i seen him yell and get fired up during the exhibition game in bern and said ok, hes taken this team as his own and is showing some passion and commitment to the rangers. he actually scored 2 pps and got us the win. before that, all of ourt preseason games were disappointments. so i said ok, hes gonna be a halfway decent replacement for jagr. and with more icetime and leadership role, i thought hed be thriving on this team. and even when torts topok over i said ok, now maybe he can get his game goin, but he hasnt,. i doubt he will be here in 2 years. maybe 1. he just isnt the same player that he was earlier this season and in his career.

Betts at least earns his salary…Drury isn’t worth a fifth of his salary.

I’ll say it again because I keep hoping if I rip him enough the stiff will actually come through for once.

MYTH – Chris Drury is a proven winner, a born leader, a tenacious penalty killer and an outstanding defensive player while also strong on the puck.

REALITY – Chris Drury is a very small player who shows little to no leadership on the ice, consistently coughs up the puck, is knocked off the puck very easily and is often uninvolved in what’s happening on the ice.

EARN YOUR FREAKIN SALARY YOU BUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay…I feel better….Go Rangers!!

mike,
you might have gotten an argument out of me on Drury before the season started. But it is obvious that Drury, Redden, Naslund and to an extent Gomez are the main reason the season and this team has been bad.

bulldog- i hear ya, i know betts is nothing but a 4th liner, who is all heart, no talent, but i like the guy. he reminds me of a new yorker. he has the work ethic and sacrifices everything for the good of the team. he has hardly any penalty minutes, but spends half the game killing them bailing out our lazy “stars”

blair betts and shoestring are the main reason we have a great pk. chris drury who spends 2 minutes parking his fat ass in front of the net on the pp, is 10 x more useless than betts is concerning his role on the team and the amount of money he gets paid for doin it.

Sorry Mike,
your are right, Betts does do his job. just get tired of hearing how wonderful he is and how wonderful he could be with better linemates.
