The Dark Ranger: Forsberg in our Future?!?!

Bio of TDR

TDR is a working professional in entertainment and is obsessed with the game of hockey. More fourteen years ago, this site emerged as a means (or an outlet) to tell some truth'isms about the game post-lockout, rather than the crud fed to us through knuckleheads like Jimmy Dolan and his lemmings universe. Today, there are a hundred Rangers sites and is thankful and grateful to all those that have come after him, but honorable thanks go to his fellow Dark-writers, Graying Mantis and J_Undisputed. And "Let's Go Rangers!"

Bio of General Ganz

General Ganz is a cynical yet well-informed student of the human spirit. He's a professional of sorts, with a post-graduate education, some experience working in real companies, and some limited athletic ability. The total small package. He got picked on a fair bit as a kid, and he experienced his first human-non-relation kiss in his teens. He also grew up on the other side of the tracks, thereby helping to cultivate a healthy contempt for dreamers and optimists whose rosy upbringing gave them something to smile about, even when "life produced lemons." Like it or not, his only mission is to point out the potholes you're lucky enough to miss on your drive to work. To find the blemish on your daughter's carefully-stitched (and not-yet-paid-for) wedding dress. To take that little smidgen of hope that your favorite hockey teams fill you with, and pour orange paint on it. Oh, and he is a Blueshirts fan, and takes most of his fashion direction from Ron Duguay (whose name he dropped as a way to close the deal on that first kiss).

Forsberg in our Future?!?!

Dear Glen Sather,

WTF?!?!? You cannot be serious with this Forsberg stuff!

"If he can remain healthy..."

Since when the hell has he been able to remain healthy in the last couple of seasons? If he could, don't you think someone who needed him far worse than we do would have already gambled on him? Do you think the rest of the league is living in a cave? I'll give you Gaborik.. Aside from a few small tweaks here and there, he's been solid and dependable for pretty much a point per game... and I think it's a pretty good deal so far. But don't push your luck!

Even in the most charitable of situations, Mother Theresa wouldn't have given Forsberg a shift against Kevin Weekes, if her team was up by 5. Please stop being an idiot and forget this nonsense...Or at least stop cruising the winger retirement homes or center halfway houses for big names and look for a punishing D-man to replace Rozi.

Irked,
J_Undisputed
