I seriously doubt the Devils pass on Hughes. The best part of this whole thing is that both players are going to be tremendous assets to both teams. The Rangers could use either one, and both will be tremendous in their own right. I really am digging the fact that all the pressure is on NJ though. We can't go wrong either way; Whomever the Devils take, they're going to be second guessed by somebody.

I'm starting to feel that blood flow again!!! :devil: Rome wasn't built in a day, Sharpie!! But I think Fox is going to be a vital piece of the puzzle. We definitely have some work to do back there!!!

I was waiting for the "Marty" reference!!! You were due, fine sir!! :rofl:

No doubt!! Very good indeed....but the way I'm looking at it RMC, is that Dallas didn't win with him, and they're light years ahead of where the Rangers are right now. By the time these new young players are going to be contenders, Zucc will be past his usefulness on the ice, in my estimation. I think we'd be better off freeing up that spot for a younger player that may play his way into the lineup for the long term, and not block up spots with aging vets. But yeah, Zucc is a soldier, and a good one at that!! I want him to continue his career and I would have loved to see him win it all this year. I wish the guy only the best; He was a great Ranger player! :thumbs:

Joe Mich's take on the Off season: Good stuff as always with Big Joe!!! Talks about The rebuild at 1:20 Fox at 2:30 Kravtsov at 3:55 Shestyorkin at 4:25

Global warming right??? What bull shit that is, eh Gravy??? :rofl:

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication, Zucc! But it's out with the old and in with the new! The sentimental horseshit is over... Choice A....ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT, IN STEREO!

The thing I actually liked a lot in that interview is where he mentions how the fan base was "up in arms" because we won those last 2 games against Columbus and Pittsburgh and then "Hockey Karma" struck back in a good way.... I think it's at the :30 second mark. They knew we wanted them to tank!!! :rofl:

I think Zuc was their best player last night besides Bishop. Bishop was a GOD last night...without him it could have been over early.....REAL EARLY! But yeah I hope Zuc likes it down there and signs on. He's played his way to a good deal and I hope he gets it! He's been a great soldier for us, and I would've really liked to have seen them win that one last night, but like Sharpy said, "the better team won". The Blues deserve it and good luck to them the rest of the way. I was happy for Berube; he's worked his ass off in this league and glad to see him succeed on this level.

Well, we sure as fuck ain't getting any sun on Long Island. 51 degrees and rain is no way to spend a day at the beach with my guitar!!! :rofl:

Great Interview with Quinn here;

I think it's great that he's acquired lots of experience in other cities first, now it's the perfect time to come to NY and build a monster!!!

They had 3 GREAT chances to win that game....That one backhander in front....UGH!!!! Open net.....:doh: Ahh well, no worries boys....Zucc had a pretty good showing, and maybe they'll resign him....we can always hope!

Sign me up on this one... Cya CK! I hope he has a decent season though so we can get back some good value, maybe even pair him with.................ahhh no one's taking those dead weight contracts!! :deadhorse:

Sometimes it not WHAT you say, it's what you DON'T SAY!!!! :rofl: ...think JD's wanted this all along....and I'm am ALL FOR IT!!! The guy is going to be great here; He comes with experience and is in my eyes a natural fit to NYC, plus I'm sure he's pretty familiar with the MSG family still. Add in the fact that he's very entertaining!!! I can't help it, I was always a JD guy! Bring it on, big fella!!!

Not sure if anyone has linked this one yet, but here's a current Bill Pidto interview with Gorton on MSG: [video=youtube;zm0z-TNK718]

I think I'm still holding to my belief that Hank's here 'til his contract is done, and I think Pete's right; He'll most likely back up Igor as the others develop. I also think 2 years is a reasonable time frame before we really start to become serious contenders again.

We're going to have to give him the chance to up his value this season, JS. I'm not expecting this season to be anymore than last year with the exception of actually NOT having to root against us to tank. There's a lot to be excited about, but we're not quite there yet in my estimation. We have a lot of things to do yet to unload some old bad contracts and players that don't fit the bill any more. That being said, if we can get anything at all from Shatty and possibly get a season from him that shows he can help out a playoff team on the PP at this year's deadline, it would be a huge boost! Just being able to get anything at all from him or even unload his last contract year would be a shot in the arm. I'm just hoping here....

Got the goalie too!!! Fuck yes!!! What an off season so far!!!!

Insert fist pump....right here! ----> :happy:

Both of you would definitely be invited!!! ...but you guys already knew that!! ;)
