I still don't find anything positive about Roszival at all. Nothing new or different -still the same old same old. He just doesn't have it. The jury is still out on most of them. Tonight will tell the tale for some of them. Ton I Think that basically you’ve called it right. I still don’t find anything positive about Roszival at all.

The jury is still out on most of them. Tonight will tell the tale for some of them.

Only Ovechkin has scored more goals per game since the lockout. And only Kovalchuk has more impact goals. Lets not also forget that Gaborik was playing in a defense first system and still managed to score a lot of goals. Yes I think its safe to say he's a top 10 talent in the NHL. The biggest difference is that when people pencil in players like Backstrom or Savard is that they are much more reliant on other players for their points. Gaborik can score those measly 65 points with very will help. And on an offensive team with depth like the Rangers it will be obvious just how much he's been stifled by the MN defense first system.

Again Gabby is a big IF but again you can't possibly think the Rangers offense is better this year. Be honest man. This team is in shambles! Lets see tonight! Stanley cup to NEW JERSEY! p.s. I love Rosen's "this one will last a life time comment"..just like 1940..the 1994 Will be the last of most of our Lifetime! Rick,

Excited to see Gilroy and Del Zotto....concerned about Rozival, guy has no sense of urgency to the puck. Question, any of u know a good web site to get some old Rangers calls for a ring tone? You know like Matteau or Messier by Howie Rose? Just curious Great post Carp….Gaborik I think will be the key.

Carp-Excellent post, thanks for keeping us into it all summer long. I'm pretty confident with the team. We all know you have to build within and it looks like Sather is finally believing it also. I hope to make the playoffs and put up a nice fight to the 2nd or 3rd round. Then set the table for a cup run next year and many after that. I'm also very curious about how Torts will handle Rozi. If he keeps putting up garbage, Torts can't keep putting him out there and critize anybody else. I really think Rozi is done and should not be on the team. Do a Nylander with him and let him find another deal. I already like Higgins and expect him to hit his stride after the holidays. Dubi gets 25 and Cally does about the same. I've only seen Gaborik a handful of times. Everybody on here told me what a dynamic player he is when healthy. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I'd like to keep MDZ all season long. It's all about peaking as a team at the right moment. I wont panick at a 5 game losing streak in December. I want 5 game winning streaks in March. Hockey season, YES!!!!!! Lets go Rangers!!!! Wicky-me too w/DVR although I might get home in time for the 3rd.
