I can see the merit of that opinion... but its more important to me that while the numbers weren't climbing, at least the effort was consistent. We've seen him race to get back on numerous occasions. Losing a footrace to that Fugly kid in overtime for the game winner on Henrik definitely wasn't one of his better moments...<br />Even still I think this is more about the money than it is about Gilroy's play. They're clearing up room so we can pay for another scoring forward who'll come in, get funked up and become an underachieving shell of his former self.<br />Theres some crazy rumor that Phaneuf is coming to the Tri-state area, which if its true... I doubt it will be here. He already got a ridiculous contract in Calgary if I remember correctly plus we probably couldn't spare the money to build plexiboard partitions between his and Avery's locker stalls. Per other rumors, we'll probably go after Demitra and try to package Higgins now that hes on an upswing with Rozi. Rozis been on the table for a little bit and the only person I can think of that may be interested is Renney, but I think catch a crisp backhand from Quinn would remedy that.J_Undisputedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816204547470757297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-52064988205109944792009-12-10T21:49:06.017-05:002009-12-10T21:49:06.017-05:00No fly zone between the hash marks -- brilliant.
...No fly zone between the hash marks -- brilliant.<br /><br />I was pissed off all over the blogosphere last night after I watched Rangers in 60 at 2 a.m. Like a drunken rampage after the pubs close in Britain. <br /><br />Chicago owned the final 40 minutes and could only score once and it was late -- a tribute to Henrik and some good defensive play. But from the Hawks' blue line to the end boards behind Henrik, that was all Chicago territory. <br /><br />18 goals in 10 games (excluding the Columbus game) for the run and gun offense. How many 1-0 efforts will we see that end up as a disappointment because no one can score. The defensive scoring has dried up and the other lines have done little (except the first) all year. <br /><br />Some teams will have a bunch of players scoring 20 goals -- anyone notice Tavares is at 15 with back-to-back 2 PPG games? The Rangers will be lucky to have 5 players scoring 10 and right now I am not so sure that will happen. <br /><br />As I said elsewhere, if you're a Jets fan, it's an emotional rollercoaster but you're never bored. The Rangers are mediocre and simply boring. Could you imagine the olden pre-cap days -- the Rangers would be this bad and have the highest payroll (yet again) in the NHL. Something to be grateful for.Graying Mantishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15786488599630118988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-53399745580673832212009-12-10T20:09:00.615-05:002009-12-10T20:09:00.615-05:00I will never be able to watch or write about Brian...I will never be able to watch or write about Brian Boyle as himself ever again! DAMN YOU, J!<br /><br />I'd like to say something elegant and fitting per my last post "they are average" but this post elevates the disappointment even further; game after game it seems to become more every-growing awful. Could it be me, OR IS IT GETTING SUPREMELY DARK IN THIS MSG Cacoon?<br /><br />Maybe a bunch of us should throw Chris Drury bubbleheads out on the ice as a motivation factor, as opposed to a celebratory bag of hats or squid when they continue to disappoint. <br /><br />If someone knows of a decent way to deal with this let me know. Tony might have said it best, "please don't make the playoffs because we can save the $$$".<br /><br />As my brother-in-law from Toronto has said for four years, "it's a re-building year.." With Gilroy going north to Hartford, can we even say that or is it worse?<br /><br />tdrThe Dark Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-16495842564468060532009-12-10T17:59:19.515-05:002009-12-10T17:59:19.515-05:00Excellent Post.
