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

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

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

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.
