We should trade for Brian Campbell, Ales Hemsky and Mike Riberio.

That gives you PM dman, a scorer and a play maker...

Like I said in an earlier post, naming skill players that stink is akin to your naming goons that stink. I'd love for you to find the planet where I'd endorse the players above.

Not much (more than the Sabres, however). The dark ages teams were never short on toffness though.... It seems that when it's impact was lessened, the team started winning more. Your thoughts?

Yea, keep bringing in more Martin Rucinskys, bro.

You ask the weirdest/most random questions. Are you trying to insinuate that the Rangers haven't won a cup since 1994 because they're not tough enough?
Click to expand...

yes, if we had Brian McGrattan and STeve Macintrye we would have won 5 cups.

you come on here and **** on what I have to say but you offer nothing in response.

I want a team that is blended with size, speed, skill and grit....I want Anze Kopitar and Dwight King...it shouldn't be so hard for you to understand but apparently it is.
 
The top 10 teams in the league in fighting majors average 15.6 in overall league standings. The bottom 10 average 13.1.

Imagine how good they would be if they fought though...

who do u endorse...

I endorse removing the GM and getting a guy in here that commits to the vision of speed, skill, and grit. A guy that will do the legwork it takes to identify and target these types of players.

I've seen enough to know there is no silver bullet to these issues. And anybody who is currently available likely comes with several warts. A change would take time, commitment and hard work. Not exactly the strong suits of the current regime.

wow...look at that...we agree on something.

Go back 10 pages and I said the exact same thing.

You also tried saying the Jagr broke the Rangers scoring record because of Colton Orr, so excuse me if I disagree with you a lot.
Click to expand...

Yes. Orr assisted on all of Jagr's goals.

Anaheim Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau, who played 141 NHL games and 634 in the AHL, said it's more about fighting serving as protection than the bouts themselves.

What does Boudreau know, right.

How does fighting serve as protection, though?
 
If Colton Orr helps SUPERSTARS set scoring records, then I wonder why Pittsburgh hasn't picked him up yet. Crosby and Shrek will score 200 points each if they have the protection of the almighty Colton Orr.

Maybe you should send Broadeau a message asking that question.

I get it...standing up for your teammates is a bad thing in all of your eyes...is it a coincidence that the '94 got it just right and haven't come close since...

Not sure if you were around in 2007...but the Flyers and just about every other team were taking runs @ Jagr and just about everyone else on the team...of course we had no answers because Sather was in charge back then...we claim Orr...he drops Fedeoruk and all of a sudden the ice opens up a little more.

If you guys never played the game or any sport...intimidation at every level exist.

I am done talking about this ****...you guys win...let all be happy with a .500 record.

I don't know who is dumber Sather or the fans.

I think standing up for your teammates is fine thing to do.

But how does fighting provide protection? Are you saying it's a deterrent?

The Rangers won the Cup in 1994 because they had better hockey players than all the other teams.

That was almost a full year after he broke the record though.

If a guy throws a dirty elbow to one of your skilled players because he knows there is no one on your team that can hurt him...you think he would be more inclined to do it or if there is a guy at the end of the bench who can handle you...u might be more hesitant to be a ******...

Jagr actually scored at a much higher rate as a Ranger before Orr got here, but why let those facts get in the way of a good tough guy fantasy.

I don't. When was the last time you saw a pest change his game because of getting a beat down?

by this outlook the Rangers should have won the cup with Barnaby, McCarthy, McKenna, Simon, Karpa, Ulanov, Purinton on it throughout those dark years:sarcasm:
 
How has Detroit managed to have all this success over the years with such little reliance on tough guys?
