The Gaborik trade will be a real test to the theory of whether a change of scenery can do a player good.

Brassard was a career 45 point player, that was generally viewed as a disappointment given his draft position.

Moore is young, but it just wasn't clicking on Columbus.

Gaborik was having a terrible year, after finishing 3rd on the league on goals the year prior.

Can Brassard become Mark Savard like -- i.e., a late developer?

Can Moore turn into a Top 4 defender?

Will Gaborik continue his pattern of having a great year every other year?

It's going to be interesting to see how this trade is evaluated in a couple of years -- but if Gaborik doesn't re-sign with the Jackets next summer, it's hard to see them winning the deal.

That's fair and you are a very positive fan. I am definitely one of the more cynical ones on the board and that often translates into disagreements between those that are more like you and those that are more like me.

Bottom line is that, no matter what I say about a certain subject, player or team issue, I respect most opinions on here. You are often one of the more levelheaded regulars and I like the perspective you bring.

I unfortunately am that of the knee jerk, typical New Yorker who tends to get carried away with my emotions.

All in all, most of us here bring something to the table I feel. Whether we agree or not, I respect your opinion.

Now RangerSaver, that's a whole different ballgame.

It's funny that because you or others say the things that I and some few others have already mentioned as to the faults with our coaching system, that they are NOW correct FACTS; but I was ridiculed for stating them way earlier in the season. How many times have you alone mentioned them here in your posts on this one blog only; as well as some others did also here? You even mentioned that Ron Duguay said that Kreider & the other younger players here pay too much attention to defense only, because they are afraid to make mistakes. When I said that before on other blogs, I was criticized with comments like "these are pro athletes and they have no fears". You probably don't even know yourself what you post most of the time.

I will only mention the members besides you who did those postings here starting early Mon. morning; with many repeating them more than once:
Pete V, Cranford, & F Quicks (who were all there already prior to this blog), Blueshirts, Names, Aecliptic, Tomburton, MrHattrick, GM Killer & others.

Now you can go and re-read them yourself; but don't forget about the Donnie Murdoch's, Chris Erwin's & others of the like, who were already on this bandwagon; and understood the facts way earlier as well, without posting here now.
Jan also mentioned in his blog my stats that I posted first on Hank's career playoff record in games when he made 30 or more saves; to stop all of Hank's bashers from saying that he is not a big game goalie.

We had a hard fought, great victory last night due to our at times higher pressure offensive attack, which made Holtby "strain" more in this game, compared to the first two games. But his "straining" play wasn't as great as Hank's, which was the second reason for our victory. That was the most encouraging part of this win in that Hank wasn't even named as 1 of the 3 stars of the game, like he almost always is when the Rangers win any game of tougher or greater magnitude. I hope that this type of victory will lead us to turn around this series, as long as Torts lets our offensive players perform mostly that, but still play two-way hockey; and match only our defensive players against Washington's best producers for that role. We need no more "Safe=Death" play style here with our offensive weapons, so that they can pepper Holtby to make him strain even more.

^stop. You're posts are so long I can't even quote them, not worth the time.

I agree, but was just making a point to this Midnight member; who also said yesterday here that "Torts was making bad coaching decisions purposely to get himself fired".
