The Dark Ranger: Sather Finished?

Bio of TDR

TDR is a working professional in entertainment and is obsessed with the game of hockey. Four 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 Graying Mantis

Graying Mantis is in fact a graying legal practitioner by day (and sometimes, alas, by night). In the cobwebs of his memory, he recalls starting to follow the Blueshirts in 1970 and remembers watching pivotal playoff games against the Blackhawks on a snow-covered Hartford t.v. channel in their 1972 march to the Finals. Giacomin, Gilbert, Ratelle, and Hadfield seen skating on a small B&W TV screens always will be among his first Ranger memories. He is grateful beyond words for the opportunity to work with his colleagues here in their never ending battle to inform and entertain. Most of all, he appreciates the chance to engage with fellow hockey fans.

Bio of J_Undisputed

"J_Undisputed is an Information Tech Professional; a student, and on and off in his dreams, Mike Richter. He caught his first glimpse of Rangers Hockey when an overtime preempted his favorite pro wrestling broadcast on WWOR-9 one late saturday night when he was 5 and he's been hooked ever since. He's been watching the Rangers for 30 years despite family attempts to make him an Islander Fan (Rest easy...they're out of the will). What started as a minor annoyance has become a life long passion (and at times, a frustration...But he wouldn't trade it for anything). Lets Go Rangers!"

Sather Finished?

from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,

• This could be the final season for Glen Sather in a dual role as president/GM of the Rangers. The belief is he’ll remain president with Mark Messier taking over as GM.

This would keep the fans in place for now. What do you think?

Second: if true, it shows how clueless the MSG hierarchy really are. Putting a total noob in as the GM, while leaving Sather in place above him?? Dumb. Just. Totally. Dumb.; Sunday, January 31, 2010 3:27:00 PM
Cav said...: I don't know about that. As long as Sather has some sort of influence at the Garden, there's a chance he'll make a call down to Torts and cause him and the team to fail. If they give him a "no interference clause", then maybe it'll work. As for Messier, I'd be excited to see him as a GM. He could bring some life to things on that level for us. :); Friday, February 05, 2010 6:19:00 PM
