Are you guys gonna sign Ghost? Better not let him go back to school. Degree is nice, but I would rather have him learning in your system and getting that degree over the summers

Yeah, it'd be nice to get him signed. If only it were my decision.

and no worse feeling than when we lose

I remember when Afinigonev scored that overtime winner in 2007 in game 5 in the series vs Buffalo and just staying seated in my chair staring at the wall for an hour and not moving

Jan the man, great job as per usual. Numbers galore, but I still say Rangers in 7, with every game likely being decided by a goal or maybe 2 with an empty netter. This Easter Sunday Noon start still ticks me off...of course family is doing the 1130 brunch gathering.

Contrasted by the joy of Roszival's Game 3 winner in that series.

2 toughest losses I've ever experienced still are the Rangers going out to Pittsburgh in 1992 & the loss to the Devils 2 years ago.

it would have been a great day for a 7pm start

everybody could have had their Easter sunday and been done with everything in time for the game at 7. Pretty annoying, but whatever

yeah, it was worse for me when Kane scored, for obvious reasons......I still blame Jeff Carter for that game going to OT. oh well, right? a literal sick feeling in my stomach.

I think a more "normal" goal would have been easier to take

I think we all think we would have won game 7 at MSG if we had the lucky bounce in that overtime, it will never stop sucking

Didn't Mike Rupp ruin that game with his arse? He blocked Dubi's shot into an open net if I remember right

I was in a stunned silent position for at least half hr. I clicked the tv off seconds after the goal but just stayed there, frozen on the couch. NOT a good memory.

I went down into my basement and vaguely remember using a my framing hammer on bs tricket I got from work for perfect attendance. I think my wife cleaned it up but i can still see the waffle imprint from the hammer on my work bench.

I am wondering what Stralman could get if MacDonald is somehow worthy of 5 million a year.

Way more than the Rangers are going to probably offer him. Would like him back, but not for what he is going to likely get.

I love these knucklehead fans on twitter and facebook who look for things to be negative about and just comment with "Who????"
- jimbo83

He's got a lot to offer. And hopefully it translates to the NHL. He certainly won't ever quit. Good to take a flyer on him. Worth a chance.
