Albatrosss Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 10 minutes ago, Ozzy said: It kinda brings into focus the delicate balance required to roster a team that has solid players at key positions. It's a damn juggling act in the salary cap era. It's almost impossible to pay goalies north oth of $8 million and still have a solid lineup for all 4 lines to compete at the ECF and Stanley Cup Finals level. GM's nowadays have to rely on over producing ELC's, and PTO players sometimes to be that "X" factor. Gustavsson comes to mind here, along with Cuylle. Anyway...back to the topic at hand: @Albatrosss...Richter was a very good goalie....and a Champion at that. The King was simply more talented. I'd even wager a bet Richter would tell you the same. Basically you're blaming Lundqvist's lack of Stanley Cup Championship on the salary cap. Richter wouldnt have won if there was a salary cap in 1994. You just dissed the whole cup winning team.

As Rangers fans, we've been pretty fortunate to have that, at the very least. Richter to Lundqvist to Shesterkin. Look at what's going on in Edmonton for years. The Flyers have always struggled to find good goaltending until now, and we've been blessed with decades and generations of it. It's everything else that's usually lacking one way or another. lol you forgot Kevin Weeks and Mike Dunham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbob Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Gretzky looks like shit, I never understand anyone who thinks plastic surgery looks good. Not that theres anything wrong with that if it's your thing, you be you, but geeesh it's not mine. I wish they had Zucc on that video being they were so close. I remember Hank being so torn up from the trade also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years I had to look across town and see Derek Jeter do it all! Only thing I’m unsure of is if he can play an instrument. With my luck, the man probably could play the fucking piano better than Mozart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Zaba? Oh man, I’m giving myself PTSD. Went up to Montreal for that game a long while back in 2010 when the Habs buried the Rangers and Hank got pulled for Matt Zaba. Couldn’t believe we drove up to Montreal to see such an ass beating and to see Matt fuckin’ Zaba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played Florida our last game of December that year. In Florida. Last game before the Winter Classic. Was a bit of a skirmish at the end of the game. Believe Rupp stepped in as it was happening. Good God. My memory with this stuff is just insanity. Edited November 16, 2023 by RichieNextel305 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
