exactly!! everything and everyone you mentioned and we didnt make the playoffs. you think Getzlaf will get you over the hump? or make you a cup contender next season? you think Getzlaf looks at the rangers and says they have a shot at the cup? i dont get what you're saying
agree about the need, just dont agree about Getzlaf. The rangers are no longer a retirement home (i hope), make a hockey trade and bring in someone who would be able to contribute for more than 30 games or so
the only thing he's going to teach these kids is how to use a walker. i mean im all for bringing in leadership to this team but someone who still has a pulse
next year or two--no. maybe in the 3rd year. Next year everyone will be happy if they make the playoffs. The following year hopefully everyone will be looking for them to win a round or two. After that there's a chance to compete seriously.
and i'll be 50, which is very depressing
Not are...but were. That cup was 14 years ago. Getzlaf was 22!! Like I said, if you going to deprive a youngster of ice time and development, it better be with someone who has any kind of future and can give more than washed up Getzlaf
