He's Still Got It

I love the Olympics because you get to watch former NHL stars like Ziggy Palfy and the great Jaromir Jagr. Last night, we got to once again witness the magic of Jaromir Jagr. Though he celebrated his 38th birthday earlier this week, JJ turned in a masterful performance last night that reminded a lot of New Yorkers just how fortunate we were to watch this legend don the Rangers sweater.

Relying more on his hockey smarts and instincts as opposed to the sheer power and speed he would use to dominate in the past, JJ was able to overcome a shaky first period and lead the Czechs to a 3-1 victory.

Some people said Jagr was over the hill, that he could no longer compete at the NHL level, or that he simply wanted too much money. In my opinion, he is a still a force and could easily contribute at the NHL level. There are very few players who can take over a game the way Jagr can.

Do I think that one of Sather's terrible contracts would have been better suited going to Jagr? Absolutely.

Do I wish the current NYR Captain could show half the intensity, heart, ability, skill, or timeliness of our previous Captain? Yes, but that's a whole lot to ask out of an undersized checking center, no?

Jagr: How you like me now, Glen?

Our Fearless Captain

Captain Chris Drury is really rounding out into Olympic form. How did you guys like that CLUTCH goal yesterday at the Garden? The Rangers had that dreaded two-goal lead with less than a minute to play so Captain Clutch did what he does best. He stepped up in a big spot and fired a LASER low stick-side to make it 5-2! What a competitor! What else do you expect from a guy who's been a winner at every level of competition?

"The Miracle On Dirt" circa 1989

In all seriousness, Drury has probably played his best stretch all season and the NYR are undefeated in the post Brashear-era. Let's hope we can pick up where we left off in two weeks. Any Olympic predictions? I'm going with the Russians.

Uncle Glennie Strikes Again

Jody Shelley. Is anybody surprised by this? This is the man WHO SIGNED DONALD BRASHEAR in the first place! This is the man who traded Brian Leetch and Adam Graves for scrubs and draft picks! This is the man who gave Rozsival and Redden a combined 10 years 59 million dollars and let's not forget Captain Crutch's sweet 5 year, 35.25 mil deal. Do you guys know how many pizzas Drury can make with that kind of $$$? Delivered in 7.7 seconds flat or it's on the house.

Do you ever notice how the only time Sather ever does anything right is when he is correcting something he previously fucked up? Like trading Kotalik or Gomez. Sure he signed Jagr and Gaborik but those were both no brainers.



He's laughing at you, Ranger fans. Remember this: Uncle Glennie does not give a fuck

Gone-ald Brashear

Well at least Brashear is gone now. Or if he clear waivers, the Don likely gets buried in Hartford where half of this team belongs. 1.4 million for this year and 1.4 next year for this washed up 4th line "enforcer" who can't even fight. Good luck trading him. Thanks a lot Sather.

Rangers vs Coyotes

I can go on about a lot of things. About how Drury is a worthless, overpaid, regressing, pathetic, sorry excuse for a captain. About how Tortorella has lost this team through constant line shuffling and singling out certain players for bad play (Kotalik, Redden) but letting others slide (Drury, Roszival), or how Hank is already exhausted and we have no depth at goaltending. I can go on about all these things but I'll keep it short and sweet. We all know what the root of the problem is. All I really want to say is this: Fire Sather

Say it with me now.....FIRE SATHER
