1) 30 freekin % off? Thats gotta be a joke! They should pay you for a 'vintage' jersey!
2) BTW, with NJ, Boston and DC coming back down a bit and the new enthusiasm in NY, a nice long playoff run is now a possibility. We wouldn't have said that a month ago!

I hear you Kotsy, I think I was just overjoyed to be at a game again where the crowd was into it... and glad to see some Rangers up close again skating with purpose that I didn't mind the Minnesota style that much. With Jacques at the helm, its pretty much like stepping into a time machine and playing yesteryear's devil team again. The style definitely doesn't fit the name "Wild". A few thoughts on what Nolan was thinking...
1)"Getting old Sucks..."
2)"@&$#!!! This isn't Voros.."
3)"JESUS, Somebody page Boogaard!!!"

Manic, I have a Koho, 2 or 3 ccms, A player worn(Turns out it was from Blackburns rookie season)preseason scrimmage jersey that I bought for some weekend warrior roller goaltending. Theres some wear on the liberty head crest from the pucks and some sprawling (sometimes on asphalt) but its still in incredible shape considering whats it been through. Those new reeboks would never stand up to that kind of abuse. I have to say "new" because I got a Shanahan Reebok one from that first year right after they acquired CCM but CCM was still in charge of production. Those newer crosby tested and approved monstrosities are more on par with those nike olympic replicas that were turned out that last winter olympics. Suprisingly there are still retailers with pockets of old CCM stock jerseys. From a picture that one of the vendors sent me, the customization numbers look less than authentic though. I think my first was a starter from the cup year. I wore the hell out of it till I outgrew it. I don't think I could feel that way about one of the new ones.

I completely agree with you.

!@#$ those reebok jerseys!

I don't own one and am going to hold off on buying one for as long as possible.

I have a few CCM's but I've been wearing the same starter jersey for about 10 years now.

Minnesota's style could certainly put you to sleep...

Minnesota's style could certainly put you to sleep, But the Rangers did what they had to do to get the win.

Ugly as it was two decent scraps first Avery and then Orr kept me awake (What was Owen Nolan Thinking?)
