Cool pic DragonBrone.

My 6th sense tells that was a Leetch pic and somebody skillfully added the 6. :) No?

More Ive thought about it the more I love this move - considering the tough spot they were in with Cally to begin with. It'll be fine long term, even better than having signed Cally for 5 yrs.

But this is a NOW move, and they've needed an offensive boost for now. This thing is wide open, and I've really liked what Ive seen from this team. Really liked it. As I'd hoped, they've kept some of Torts defensive consciousness while changing everything, including a vastly improved PP, which St Louis helps even further.
I am concerned about their size but not because of MSL; he's more than proved adept at handling himself in the NHL.

But 14 years into Sather's tenure, and 7 or 8 since he really got down to business and started growing this thing properly, it's time to reach for it. Reasonably, with cost-sensitive moves.
But reach for it, or you'll never get it.

And I havent seen it anywhere, but if you exclude that horrendous road trip to start the year, those 9-10 games, NYR have to have a Top 10 record since. Not that we can erase those games, they happened LOL. But a lot of good has happened since. A lot. And I dont think they've peaked yet, though they were getting real close before the break.
So it's all good IMO.

Rangers record against IMO the league's elite. Ducks, BLues, Hawks, Pens, Sharks, Bruins, Kings.

4-9-1. 30 GF. 46 GA.

That is why they should not be buyers.
 
Furthermore its pretty obvious this is coming from a personal source of Boomers. So sure the "official" word could be nothing imminent, but it doesnt make it so.

Yeah and we knew the chest puffing was going to come from all the usuals if they haven't heard what Boomer is hearing.
 
What poster are you talking about. This started with a poster on the board, but now it's been tweeted by boomer all morning. Many many tweets from boomer.....

Right, but Boomer never said MSL, but people that want to bring proof bring up that poster as one of their proofs. Without that poster I doubt most people would think it was MSL.
 
Wasn't his tweet about "grit" in reference to Ott and how he didn't like him unless he was in a NYR jersey... like when we acquired Carcillo?

Also, would I be wrong in reading the tweet about the possible pick being something that we would be giving and NOT getting?

Nah, he said a combination of grit and skill.

The "Hated player" thing came from Ott. "Think Carcillo" he said in reference to Ott.

Exactly. Wishful thinking and all that jazz but i trust Boomer more in this situation, as its blatantly obvious its a peronal source of his, and not a team official response deal. Others will hinge on Mackenzie and the other pundits Im sure.

I mean I hate discounting games but they're a completely different team from that opening road trip. If you take away the road games against the Kings, Blues, Ducks, and Sharks, their record is 3-6-1 with 22 GF and 25 GA. Still not great but not as lopsided as the above appears.
 
I'll gladly lose my 500 vcash bet to -31- if it meant we got St. Louis.
 
Ail made the pic.

Oh. Well then my compliments to Mr Ail.

It's nice to see. Been visualizing it since around 3 am when I finally saw Boomer's tweet.

Id seen the others previously, but the Marty tweet which id somehow missed finally made it all click, made me realize. I think LOL....

What about games where we were transitioning?

I think that's a very skewed statistic.

It's a great pic. Ail is a wizard with those things. Just making sure the proper creds are given. ;)
 
How many years does Girardi want? McKenzie tweeted term is the big issue. Many people focus on just Callahan but Girardi is still unsigned.

Marty St. Louis is another midget. Great player. Hall of Famer. He will be 39 years old this summer.
 
How many people are going to call up Boomer's show tomorrow and give him **** if we don't wake up to a deal? :laugh:
 
Copy. Thanks... reading through all of this today for the first time and my head is spinning trying to figure out what was tweeted and what's speculation.

Oh yeah, it's kind of hard to follow for sure. Last night Boomer was tweeting 5 or 6 times a minute. It was insane.
 
Being able to get a St. Louis jersey is reason enough for me, best second name in the league.
 
Right, but Boomer never said MSL, but people that want to bring proof bring up that poster as one of their proofs. Without that poster I doubt most people would think it was MSL.

Assuming that we trust the details he's given, there really aren't many other players that fit everything he's said. I think that's where most people are getting MSL from.
 
Are we all on board that the clues are hinting toward MSL? Or are there any other possibilities?

Well I see the one about top 6, possible top line being the return. Maybe Im nitpicking but msl is a sure fire 1st liner.

If Marty has a list of teams, we would get blown out of the water with Cally and a first. He may demand a trade, but he wouldn't handcuff the team that bad.

Another note, just because we've handed big money before to less deserving guys in no way obligates us to do it now for Cally. Lessons are learned, the line was drawn. Sucks it happened to a heart and soul captain, but if Drury was a mistake then so is Callahan's proposal.
