Whatever you do don't resign Shannahan. He's just going ti get injured and do nothing in the playoffs.Again!rangers111http://www.blogger.com/profile/03867060761950986032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-5796832986264297462008-07-20T22:51:00.000-04:002008-07-20T22:51:00.000-04:00CAN WE ALL GET A LITTLE REAL FOR A MOMENT? BlueLeafsNation is a hack because this particular Leafs fan is...well,....exactly...a Leafs fan criticizing other teams. How typical. This coming from a team that just signed Jeff Finger (middle right atch ya) for 4 million a year (another defenseman), the second big signing was 2nd rate ex-Ranger enforcer Ryan Hollweg (traded for a fifth round pick....bad karma Sather from that move)----everyone visit Rangerland.com for the SATHER-HOLLWEG discussion, brilliance----bought out resident agitator Darcy Tucker---wants Raycroft to waive his no clause but he wants to stay, and asks their Captain Sundin last February for the good-of-the-team to please let us trade you. He refuses. He wants to be Leaf for life! But they don't court the guy, let him hit free agency this past July 1 -- and lost their Captain in the process.<BR/><BR/>The Rangers have some re-building to do, but there is a veteran/youth mix that is extremely promising (and scary at the same time). <BR/><BR/>BlueNation---you have a point, but we don't know anything until November --- give it some time before making such judgements. Analyze your own team -- you'd have a lot to say.The Dark Rangerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172615307927549169.post-69606713892716514402008-07-20T22:25:00.000-04:002008-07-20T22:25:00.000-04:00jess...the connection between myself and the Russian league are merely rumours only.

I only hope that this kid can handle the pressure of NYC and preforms as required for the Rangers to have any "punch" this season.

Honestly, I believe the Rangers would be a better team with Shanahan. I think he would be a good veteran role player for the team and an asset in the shootout as well as on the powerplay. Plus he scored 23 goals last season, and we might need all the goal scoring help we can get if last year is any indication of what might play out in this one. Who can really be sure though. Maybe Drury will step up and be huge this year or maybe Prucha will regain that goal scoring touch we saw him have in his rookie season or, better yet, maybe Naslund, [Insert Ranger center here] and Zherdev will have great chemistry together, but as I said earlier: Who can really be sure? Either way, lets drop the puck!

This "kid" seems to have the necessary knowledge to talk Rangers hockey and the attitude that any sports team would love out of a devoted fan.

Call him in need of therapy. Call him whatever relevant Ranger name you want (please just NOT Malik) - as The Dark Ranger welcomes syr11!!!<BR/><BR/>As I "tdr" is out of commission until the season begins, it has been fun seeing the numerous comments on the site...maybe the kid has people talking.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we all need a little NYR optimism??? (Right Scotty and Pundit??). Who the hell knows anyway about this team!!? Last year we actually thought we were favored to win the East with the additions of Drury and Gomez and nothing happened. A year of newbies and defensemen just may be the trick.<BR/><BR/>Ironically, this will be the first time we actually see Tom Renney coach the team. Funny, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Let's go Blue. The opening games in Prague against Tampa sounded like a great Ranger-favored idea, but after a hell-of-a free agency bionic transformation- these tampa folk look scary.<BR/><BR/>Sonn enough, all will be revealed.<BR/><BR/>Good luck syr11 and everyone show a little support!<BR/><BR/>Best to all!<BR/><BR/>The Dark Ranger<BR/>"Tdr"The Dark Rangerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.com
