We are wasting one of the greatest talents this team has ever seen!!!!

Players like Henrik Lundqvist dont come around to often and we should know that... After Richter retired due to numerous injury problems and during his injury problems we had a hard time finding a suitable goalie who could help us win... jussi markanen, dan blackburn(injuries ended career but could have been good), mike dunham(who had 1 good half season for us but then sucked) and kevin weekes and none if you put all of there best abilities into 1 goalie would come close to lundqvist.. if we could put a half way decent team infront of him we could contend for years but we cant even do that but we have to re do our tea every year because if it doesnt work we need a new group of guys who could try and win and score infront of him... its nice to see us build from the ground up but how long is going to take???  if we are not good when his contract ends in 5 years, do you really think he will stay with us??  dumb redden, and rozi... even though rozi has shown signs of the younger rozi who ws pretty good we could get so much more with his 5 million... imagine a line of gabby-dubi-kovalchuk... 2 of the top 10 players in this league and a young star poised to break out... talent like this doesnt come around very often and if we continue to waste it then it will be gone fairly quickly... i mean every year we get to the playoffs jsut on him alone... yeah glen sather probably needs to be fired for this to work but we will probably have to miss the playffs for that to happen and even though not many people outside of rangers fans realize we are still in 6th place but also we are 5 points away from a top 5 pick in the draft next year so anyting can happen..  maybe we will never get to see the potential of this team but with a few moves and one or two more players added we could be a great and elite team as we continue to watch the great talent of Henrik Lundqvist be wasted...

well people always say we dont have identity. and our players dont play for the swaeater they play for themselves..

maybe thats because we have 15 new players everyyear. and some people think sather is getting better

bs. yeah he signed gabby and got rid of gomez. but than he signed kotalik and brashear?

with that money zherdev could have been signed. lets face it. nothing will get better until us fans make it better. stop going to games. stop buying merchandise.

only way to get sather fired is to hurt dolans pocket. and were not helping by selling out everygame.

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!

Speaking of selling out games, I haven’t seen the attendance record lately, maybe we didn’t sell out at least one of our games? if so, this is huge.

He's 27 and entering the prime of his career

There is still plenty of time to build a cast around him.

Maybe...just maybe...

they should trade Lundqvist and get a SHITLOAD of prospects and player for him?

Contingent of course on if they have a replacement (No idea if its Zaba, OchoCinco or who they’d obtain in the trade)…

But uh…if we’re not going anywhere (like entirely too many are ready to concede at this point)…then I think this has to be an option.

You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there
