Exciting day for the New York Rangers...Glen Sather was the man today :D. 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 |

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 :( |

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. |
