Underrated Rangers

[eco's bones]

Eh, Beukeboom gets his due around here. He was a huge guy who liked to hit - NYR fans love that stuff.

If there was an underrated defenseman on the '94 team, I'd go with Kevin Lowe. Very solid with zero flash to his game.

I'd go along with that. Forward from that team--Steve Larmer with nods to Noonan and Matteau.

SBOB, Zubov's name gets dropped a lot so I didn't think he was that underrated. Man I wish the Rangers held on to him though. Going back further, I absolutely agree with Beezer. Good call there. He probably didn't deserve the Vezina in 86 but in terms of talent and consistency, I think he was a better goalie than Richter.

You could argue for Froese, but VBK tied for the league lead in wins while playing on a team that had a losing record. That is not very easy to do

Kovalev with a purpose.

Erixon was vastly underrated.

Was he really underrated though? His defensive prowers were well know. Maryo referred to him as a bad smell that you could not get rid of

 

[True Blue]

Going to go with Kelly Kisio and Brian Mullen.

 

[Jackson Ranger]

Eddie Johnstone, Pat Hickey
Podubney, Froese, Osborne, Laidlaw
Sarge, Potsie
Devo, Rozie

 

[Tomas Sandstrom 28]

I think a lot of the guys from just before the 94 season get overlooked a lot.
Guys like James Patrick, Darren Turcotte, and a couple of years earlier my favorite player as a kid, Tomas Sandstrom.

I then remember liking Tie Domi because he wore the same number that Sandstrom did, 28. Domi got in a fight at the first game I ever went to.... Just looked up some stats, in 91-92 Domi had 246 PIM in only 42 games. Wow.

Anybody who said Rozsival is wrong.
