The Dark Ranger: Rozzy Is Outta Here!!!! Strengthens Depth Up Front

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).

Rozzy Is Outta Here!!!! Strengthens Depth Up Front

One day after finding out left wing Alex Frolov is out for the season, the New York Rangers made a pretty significant move in an effort to replace him.

The Rangers acquired left wing Wojtek Wolski from the Phoenix Coyotes on Monday in exchange for defenseman Michal Rozsival. Wolski could be available when the Rangers play Tuesday night against the Montreal Canadiens at Madison Square Garden.

The 24-year-old Wolski has 6 goals and 10 assists in 36 games and should immediately fill the void left by Frolov, who suffered a season-ending knee injury Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. Wolski had 23 goals and 42 assists in 80 games split between the Coyotes and Colorado Avalanche last season.

It was a move the Rangers could afford to make because of their depth on the blue line.
