How about that ride in, I guess that why they call it Sin City... ha ha. You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself, as a one man wolf pack. Though when my sister brought Doug home I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So there was two of us in the wolf pack, I was alone first in the pack and then Doug joined later. And six months ago when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought "wait a second could it be?" and now I know for sure I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves running around the desert together in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!

1st one was the best.

Hangover and Due Date are the only movies I can watch with him in it. He is like Jack Black, 1% tolerable, 99% want to smash him in the face with a mallet.

Slow down grasshopper. Numerous staff and players on the Rangers all said the best thing here by let's all wait a few weeks to let the disappointment and anger subside some before any action(s) are taken. Making decisions now would result in something rash and it could very well end up being something you regret later on down the road.

I'll probably get killed for this lol but I'm not the biggest will guy either. But one of the funny things I've seen was on SNL with him and I forget the girl, in the hottub skit. Where they couldn't hold themselves from laughing. It was very funny. He was great on SNL

Motivation brought on by embarrassment can make for success. Theyre not far removed from 2 crazy good seasons. Deadweight begone and see what happens.

I'm really not upset. I jsut think the window to a championship with a majority of this group has closed. You gotta keep some guys to ice an NHL team, obviously.

Players I'd like to see kept:
Stepan
Brass
Zucc
Fast
Miller
Lindberg
Klein
Mcdonagh
Skjei
Mcilrath

Players the Rangers will be forced to keep:
Girardi
Staal
Glass

Players who I wouldn't mind if they moved:
Kreider
Hayes
Nash
Lundqvist

Just hit the restart button on this team.

Every other movie he's made is just stupid and sucks. I facking hate Will Ferrell.

Maybe its me, but Hayes its his 2nd year. After what he did his rookie year you are willing to get rid of him after a sophomore slump? The guy has the tools to be that big center everyone wants, yet after a bad 2nd year everyone wants him gone.

Thats (frank)ing nuts.

People are so damn impatient with young players, I will never understand it.

Rangers are forced to keep Marc Staal, I agree with that, but really, they aren't forced on Girardi, the buyout isn't that bad.

I'm getting rid of Kreider to. It's not I blame the season solely on Hayes. Relax. All of this has as good a chance of happening as you returning the puppy you just bought.

I just can't imagine they'd go through this "evaluation period" on all the players that AV spoke of in the next 7-10 days and ultimately decide that they can live with Girardi having a 5.5 million cap hit next year when they could have a 1.75 million buyout cap hit instead.

I killed Hayes a lot this year, as you know, but I agree I wouldn't give up on him yet

If Kreider remembers for next season how to score on breakaways, he'll net 30...book it.

I'm relaxed Tom. Cool as a cucumber(except when said cucumber is inserted in chiefs rectum). My thing is Kreider has had multiple chances to prove he can do something in the regular season. Truth be told I would still keep him for 1 more year too. Hayes , if he isn't any better next year I will lead the charge to send him to the chair.

If you do that, do you re-sign Yandle and move Skjei or someone else to the right side? Or do you let Yandle walk, and sign another right side defensemen? Who? I have no idea. Haven't looked at the free agent list to closely yet.
