to this day, still my favorite player of all time. congrats Brian. No doubt in my mind you deserve it.
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.
