Sather rids Rangerland of another bad signing
|
Posted by Michael M. Ramos ≡ 10:35:17 AM - February 2, 2010
It would seem that Glen Sather must have something on Canadian Gm's as he has pulled off some deals that defy all odds. It started this summer when he actually got rid of a cap crushing contract. Scot Gomez is a talented player but didn't fit in the Rangers system. Instead of being stuck with him in a bad situation, he found a GM that bailed him out. Not only did the Candians' GM bail him out, he gave up his top prospects to do so.
Sather got rid of Gomez and received Canadian top prospects in McDonaugh and Valentenko(both tough stay at home defensemen)along with Higgins(who turned into Prust). Valentenko has said he will return to the NHL if given a shot at a spot, which he will recieve next year. McDonaugh is at the University of Wisconsin earning rave reviews. Not only did Sather get these players, but he got the cap room to sign Gaborik. SO it turned out Gomez for Gaborik, Prust, McDonaugh, and Valentenko. A HUGE win for Sather....more

Too Easy to play against

This years version of the New York Rangers are way too easy to play against. Tortorella has installed a system that the GM hasn't given him the players for. Why hire this coach or why sign these players? Granted, some of the problem are players that were signed BEFORE this offseason(Redden, Rozsival, Drury) but this season Kotalik and Brashear, what the hell was Sather thinking? The Gaborik signing doesn't make sense either. more

Should they?

The Rangers realize they still need some pretty drastic roster changes. The good news is most of the future deletions involve veterans. Its pretty obvious Roszival, Reddon, Brashear, Higgins and Kotalik need to go for starters. But is that enough? The return on those players is not going to dramatically improve the Rangers. More likely just another sideways shuffle, remaining in entry draft no mans land. more

The time for talking is over. From Marc Staal's "we have guys to look after that stuff" after the Carcillo ambush. To Avery's tirade, to Dubinsky ""There are plenty of guys here ready to do that - he (Carcillo) doesn't have to go after our best player," more

Last night was just a typical reason why the Rangers don't make it passed the first round year in and year out. The Rangers can explode for 5-6 goals against teams that play hockey but can't put a puck in the net against a trapping team like the Devils or a big team like the Flyers. The "team toughness" is only good if you have a detterent. That is someone that the Rangers lack and is costing points in the standings. more

aVERY Good 10 Game Spurt
|
|
Posted by Michael M. Ramos ≡ 10:17:17 AM - January 7, 2010

Last night Sean Avery reminded Rangers fans why he is the peoples choice in a Bleushirt jersey. Avery was on the edge all night and totally took his ex-team mates off their game. Avery was scoring, skating, and agitating Dallas to distraction of their gameplan. AVERY chants could be heard many times during the game. After the game Avery had the perfect quote as Stan Fischler asked him,"What was so different about tonight?" and Avery said,"Well, I am getting paid by BOTH teams." That brought all interviewers into a laugh but made a valid point. Avery's game was down and he wasoverly punished by the NHL for a quote about an ex-girlfriend. It is great to see that the GRATE one is back. more

According to Steve Zipay of Newsday, the Rangers are weighing their options on the blueline, but with little Cap space, they may be hard pressed to find much options.
