Im gonna tell you a story Jim about when I realized this team was cursed and why I have succumbed to being the pessimist.

You remember the curse of the Bambino? The Red Sox trade that sent Ruth to the Yankees?? Well I see the Rangers having the curse of the Messiah. When the Rangers didnt resign Messier in 1997 after the guy ended the Curse of 1940. The Rangers brain trust obscured remark of, how long do we have to pay him for winning the Cup will forever be a black mark on this organization. We had the greatest player ever in Gretzky on this team and they let Messier walk. With Gretzky, Leetch and Richter as cornerstones, how do you not resign Mess?? The dumbest more in Ranger History, second to that of trading Brad Park, maybe even first on the list.

This is why Im such a pessimist.

You be you, I will be me.

You say fake, I said realist.

I think your an idiot for being so positive, but hey, you've been wrong for almost 30 years now, why change now?

Just like your recent arguments about Panarin trying to hit 124 points and winning the Presidents trophy. Those mean absolutely nothing. Looks cute in the record books but in the end, nothing to get excited about.

oh I'm used to fans of other teams trolling me when we get eliminated by not one of our own, which is why I don't actually believe you are really a Ranger fan
- jimbro83

So we're reverting back to this eh? Playing the hits every hour on the hour.

I wouldn’t want Spring AND Smith. But to give up assists for Smith, and he’s $2.5+ million more than what Sprong signed for, Drury was asleep at the wheel. I hate him and he should be fired. He’s put this team in a terrible spot and depleted our draft capital.

He gets absolutely fleeced on trades.

I'll never understand actually believing in curses. It's like believing in religion. It's just some nonsensical way to explain why:

A: Something that is hard to comprehend

or

B: Something someone doesn't want to believe

happens/happened.

I wish we lived in this magical fairytale land. Things would be more interesting than they are.

You're now fighting with another person who also hates me. So I'm not sure what this has to do with me.

But if you look at Chris Drury, the player and the gm, he's more bad than good for the Rangers. Yet he's been rewarded for it. Why should I support him?

Middle of the spectrum doesnt win a Cup. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, nothing wrong with it either.
- Brukie


Oh we agree on that fully. That's my whole point on going all in and not playing "in between" games.

I was involved, then you threw one of your fits, I goaded you, then I was banned. Now I refuse to insult you and just get mad at me because I correctly point out GMCD for not doing a good job.

Peter Chiarelli.

The perfect Candidate. He's bad like I want, but the façade of Stanley Cup champion surrounds him.

I'm sorry you feel that way, I can't make him be more likeable or you be less annoyed with him.
