Phil Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 So with all the doom and gloom going on 'round these parts, I figure now is as best a time as any to do my best to lighten the mood a bit by starting a thread I think a few of you might enjoy. So here's the idea ? obscure Rangers (calling Greg!). Guys who played here a year or less (or less than 82 games) and were actually photographed in their short time here. You have to have an image of them to post while in a Rangers jersey. It's cute to name random guys who played revolving door here, but the idea is to get images of them to really bump the nostalgia. The older the images get, the funnier the thread becomes. I'll start it off with Adam Hall: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/122/303979507_c490bc22e2.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/100/303979885_b46c92b3cd.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/110/303979742_ab33387526.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Did anyone ever get Kevin Weekes? He played only 46 games for us over two seasons http://product.images.prosportsmemorabilia.com/33-96/33-96661-F.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Please, Reitz and Isbister aren't obscure. Do better. Yes, they are. Less than 82 regular season games. That's the criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Then "Obscure" isn't the right name for the thread. IMO, obscure would mean little-known...Like "I never knew he played here!" I mean, Pavel Bure played less than 82 games. Is he "obscure"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played only 46 games for us over two seasons http://product.images.prosportsmemorabilia.com/33-96/33-96661-F.jpg Not obscure at all. I'm sure every Ranger fan you ask is aware he played here. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Semantics. "Obscure" is a subjective term. You and I might remember Isbister, but a lot of people may not. Just run with it.

Phil Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I prefer "inconsequential". Like "Phil's opinion is inconsequential." Nope, because inconsequential would mean they were in fact irrelevant, when many were not. That would allow for guys like Bure, Weekes, etc. to join the ranks because they fit the under 82 game criteria. Again, this is all semantic.

Pete Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Weekes you can make an argument for relevance, Bure no way. He didn't help us do shit, he was just cool to watch for a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Point is, "inconsequential" doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
