Vic Hadfield had a pretty decent career. One great year. The rest was about average to slightly above average. Maybe the Rangers standards have changed for number retirement. Kind of odd.

Same.

I had tears at the Richter jersey retirement. My childhood hero.

Hank’s night will be very special. Imagine it if he wins the cup?

Ok, I’ll stop dreaming now.

There’s nothing more in the hockey world that I want more than Henke to raise the Cup.

Thoughts on Boucher and cook?

It would be nice for both to get their numbers retired. Just a shame they've both been gone for a while now. I'm happy they just did Jean, and now Vic before its the same for them. I just really hope Park gets the same

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for this rebuild and I think it's gotten off to a positive start, but in the back of my mind, it absolutely crushes me to think about the fact that the cup window for Hank has almost certainly been slammed shut. It's a damn shame that we weren't able deliver. One of the greatest goalies in the history of the game will in all likelihood be cupless. As a non-Swede, I rooted like hell for them in Torino, so I guess there'll always be that.

I've disagreed with other guys they have retired #s for as well.

Not to derail this thread or cause a shit storm, but personally, I didn't feel Graves was deserving of a jersey retirement given the Rangers' previous standards. Having met the guy, though, I certainly don't begrudge him the honor. One of the genuine good guys and the nicest person you could ever hope to meet.

They're doing it to have the entire GAG line together in the rafters which is something I can get behind

Hadfield I think gets his # retired because it's already in the rafters for Messier. This way they can honour a good guy and good Ranger without having to take another number out of rotation. I'm not sure we'd see the retirement if Mess wasn't up there.

I think it was the right thing to do the whole line

Met him 2 different times.......once opposite the garden just walking right on by me......I freaked, turned around, approached him from behind, introduced myself told him how great he was and asked him for his autograph that ended up on my pack of cigarettes (thank God he had a pen!)
2nd time was in Tampa in PO's (game#2) with suites everywhere and a bar. Absolutely the nicest guy, right up there with Jean as a gentleman (even though he's Canadian) lol. Just kidding.

The ghost of the Gumper would probably say "thanks for the Habs trade!" and wipe his ass with the banner. His ghost would also be drunk.
