Exciting day for the New York Rangers...Glen Sather was the man today . I would have loved to see Colorado make a big move but oh well. Rangers definitely have a fighting chance next season if Gomez and Drury could come in produce as much as they are expected to.

*would have liked to see some added defensemen but oh well

Fuck Ryan Smyth I didn't like him...he better stay healthy and play well if he's gonna be in Colorado though.

Oh wait Colorado got Scott Hannan from SJ, gritty player if I remember correctly not too bad of an addition...it'll never be like the good old days though when a Stanley Cup was legitimately within sight every year

a bit?

Gomez is one of the best players.

The way he breaks through the lines is amazing.

Its a sad day.

Could Lou have at least tried to get him sent to another division before today? To have one of your best players literally go across the river sucks.

Gomez loved playing at MSG. It didn't surprise me that his heart was set there.

I'm with you on not being a huge Devils fan (well I'll be one if I'm paid to be one) but if a player on one of my teams were traded across the street I too would be crushed...but to a team in the same division, that's crappy

i was sad about that trade...don't you dare wish harm onto the rangers. strength of the league deeply depends on the ny market and the rangers specifically.

i liked the drury signing for the rangers

but the rangers paid gomez way too much money and for 7 years too

Posted by yankeeBaby on Jul-02-2007 04:18:

....and like a true yankee fan I dont give a f*ck who they are or where they come from as long as they bring home the cup.

Thanks for all the texts vern, you rock.

it is a long time and a lot of money and with a cap i wouldn't want to tie down too many players...um I wonder who specifically handled this negotiation, Glen plus ???

the rangers sell out even when they suck, so it doesn't really matter.

We're in the salary cap era now, so it does matter. I don't want the Rangers to end up like the Knicks.

I know a Buffalo Sabres fan who is probably not very happy about this. Especially the 2nd of the two.

Re: Re: The NYTA NHL thread

Nashville Predators sign NY Rangers center Jed Ortymeyer for 2 years 1.5 million

I'm going to miss Orty. He was such a hard worker. They'll love him down there while they still have a team
