I hated it when we traded him, he was still a very good player.

The day after the Rangers traded him, I made a very nasty call to the Rangers executive offices, and wound up getting some poor PR guy on the phone whose job that day was to take phone calls from disgruntled fans. I am pretty sure I called Glen Sather every name in the book, and made up a few.
