There was that one year beofre the lockout when the Rangers were TERRIBLE and beat the Islanders all 6 times. I think the Hockey Rodent said it best. Drury needs to be moved to wing where he can tap in garbage like he did with Buf. He went on to compare him to Johnny Buscyk. Remember in the Rangers-Islanders games records don’t matter.

Henrik doesn't look that sharp. Valley still worries me more than makes me feel confident when he's in goal....and i felt that way back in July. as far as Dubi starting strong but fading. you know what? he held out. he wanted his money because he felt that he was a strong addition. if that's the case, then start acting like on a more constant basis you know like other players on other teams do!! it's that simple! you don't make as many boneheaded decisions as he did tonight hey cwgatti!!
