just to recap, Derrick Brassard was referred to as a "bust" earlier today on this blog right?

Where is Ranger Saver? This was a Tortorella trade wasn't it

I am (at least for one night) so glad I was wrong, and I am usually pretty positive, figures the one time I expressed disappointment I have egg on my face but Im happy about that....again, at least for tonight...long way to go...

My Newfie booooooooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

I thought the same thing but didn't want to jinx him. Now you have. Guess Clowe is going scoreless the rest of the way unless we play an outdoor game.

Yupp. It looks good, still think we coulda gotten more for gabby from Cbj but I feel good so far

This is amazing

Moore could, and I emphasize the word could, make MDZ expendable this summer. A similar player but with one year left on his ELC at $965K is a lot cheaper than MDZ. If the Rangers need to trim money to re-sign McD, Step, Hags and Clowe they could look to trade MDZ this summer. Just a thought. Not advocating it. But Moore looks like he could give us that flexibility.

That is correct.

But I also said the clowe trade sucked, so ill give everyone a pass

we gave up one more year of Gaborik for potentially long Ranger careers for Brassard and Moore. And we haven't even seen Dorsett yet.

I'd rather keep all these dmen and have a crazy backend

after watching Hamrlik skating like he was in quicksand for 10 games or so, John Moore's fluid skating is such a breath of fresh air

Ryan Mac 2.0
Brassard looks like Michael Nylander
Clowe looks like John LeClaire

Me too but if cap space becomes an issue, there might exist that option.

Hank has to stop heading the puck, it's scaring the crap out o fme

Staal was in Greenburgh, doing off ice work and his helmet with a visor was spotted....could get better by playoff time...

I know it's only 1 game, but reading how many people gave Sather shyt for these trades (I don't just mean in this thread) Feels so refreshing and good for once to be able to sit back and smile

Powe c'mon hahaha

It's only one game but Jesus do these trades look amazing.

it's like the darkness has suddenly been lifted from this team, they look alive again.

Gotta make the playoffs, then season starts anew

Looks like the Rangers won this deal on first impressions !

this was Rick Middleton for Ken Hodge all over again

Hey, I am going to show a little local pride bc CT has 2 schools in neighboring cities/towns in the frozen four...how about that?

Yea, it is only 1 game. But this is something you can build off of. Really like the new energy the team has

Can't remember what game this was but earlier this year with Pittsburgh up big late and with Kunitz looking for a hat trick, Pittsburgh puts their top guys, including Kunitz out on the ice. In the same spot with Clowe looking for a hat trick (I don't know if he has ever had one and Kunitz was going for his first) Torts ices Asham, Powe and Eminger among others on the PP. That says something to me.
