Yeah man, I mean he's a shell of his former self, but I really hope he goes out on his own terms. I don't get annoyed with his mistakes. He's an icon in rangers hockey. Will miss him when he's gone. I still miss Bob sheppard as voice of Yankee stadium and giants stadium

From Wikipedia. Read this last time we talked about Sam.

Rosen has been told by the Rangers he can continue his position as long as he wishes. He has asked his family to inform him if they feel he is losing his edge due to age but is encouraged that Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully was still considered a top broadcaster when he retired at age 88.[3]

Strange.

Not at all, Yzerman knows he cant compete in this arms race. Wherever they finish they finish. Theyve done well, but know theres still some work to be done. Why be in denial? If someones willing to trade a first in 2023, might as well grab it.

I could never get into baseball, too slow for me.

That clock thing is getting rave reviews. Otherwise I agree it was a big problem, pace of it. Playoffs are different. If the Mets are in I’m glued like the rangers playoff game. Not nearly as nervous tho

Just curious, is there anyway Drury can add a 4th line grinder or LH dman, or does the cap constraints prohibit it?
- OLDSCHOOL#6

My ideas are finished. I got nothing for ya man I don’t think they have any room tbh. Like money for money Dea and o don’t see anyone else traded Cuylle I hope will eventually be the 13th F 🙏🏻 they need beef

Read a while back that he got cancer and got over it but they didn't want him back.

Whether or not Al was sick he looked like faces of meth last time he was on. He slipped away into obscurity after that.

I hate the Yankees btw lol. I just don’t care about baseball to really hate them. It’s just jealousy haha I respect that org. The Jeters Posadas ONeills, etc. I took my son with Jimmy to O’Neill day last season. Was cool, I applauded
- Slimtj100

Mets fan? Im becoming envious of them tbh. I miss those days though. It was so much fun during that time but you dont realize how fast its gone and really how special they were from top to bottom. Bernie Williams is still my favorite player to this day. Dude always came through in big moments.

Yea but I’ll scale it for you…

I’m like a lava hot Ranger fan

I’m like a lukewarm Met fan.

I think I watched one Met game last year

It’s hockey and sex for me. Those are my interests lol

Maybe they could do something where he only calls home games and let Kenny do the road games? The sabres did that with RJ in his final couple years. But I mean he's earned it tbf. What's a couple more years

I mean doesnt get much better than that and pretty much all i ever think about. Im pretty sure we all have that in common The rangers will always be number 1 for sports but still love the giants and yanks. Never got into basketball, albeit I root for the knicks

No one. But, while they are extremely talented, they are woefully soft by playoff standards. I was hoping to add a little muscle, it’s unfair to ask Cuylle to be the teams policeman.

Maybe Kane lights a fire under Tarasenko. He’s been kinda blah. “I’ll show you” type of thing, I’m not good enough for you?, etc

I've been thinking that or maybe takes a bit of pressure off him. I'm sure he's feeling a bit of it after the rangers struggled a few games and he hasn't been scoring

I’ve been thinking about this very thing. But think about, who on the devils is a cruncher? They aren’t overly heavy either. And the canes we beat with probably a lesser team than we have this year. It’s something I used to scream over, but I think it’s less and less prevalent than it used to be. On the surface I agree with you, but I’m not as worried as I would be say 3-4-5 years ago.

Cuylle should be the 13 F and that would add some beef. He can handle himself out there I think. He’d be strictly 4th line id say, so not very pressure filled there. Just hit people, and hit them hard. Trouba gives the rangers a bit of an intimidation factor also

I get it, but I will say, theyve need doing a fair job policing themselves. Granted, you dont want your star players doing that, but they do it anyway.

Agreed. I was thinking more of a 7 game match with Boston, Tampa or now the beefed up Leafs. But, they’re a very talented top 9, maybe teams will not be able to match up against all 3 lines, especially if they click at the same time.
