“Marian Gaborik has 22 goals, but the Rangers have a losing record”, almost makes it sound like Gabby hasn’t done enough

I think Mr. Avery needs to make a call to Elisha Cuthbert.
Toss her around the locker room.
We need to remember what its like.

I think Avery needs to start taking stupid penalties again. At least then the Rangers will be entertaining to watch.

If I wanted to describe the Rangers passing ability....
Jamarcus Russell is a good adjective.

I wish I didnt care...
it’s so hard to emotianlly invest in a team and watch certain players play like they don’t even care.
hmm if we lose and phila and toronto win, we will be in 2nd to last place in the league. food for thought
it seemed to all start when Gabby got hurt and we lost to the Islanders and Wild in back to back games

Yay Kotalik
Cant even get a shot off in the shootout the only thing hes good at. yup hes real better than Zherdev for sure. Kotalik is not worth more than 700k, god this team is just bright spots riddled with absolutely horrific players.
i wish we had zherdev.
honestly hes worth 3.75 mil no question. 60 points with all that “having no heart”
imagine if he were on gaboriks wing? imagine if we had zherdev instead of kotalik?
prospal dubinsky gaborik
avery anisimov zherdev
higgins drury callahan
boyle christensen lisin.
we can dream lmao.
i wish kotalik voros brashear redden rozi and drury could all just go away. just leave
