We took it to them pretty well that night and when I left their fans were legitimately pissed they lost. It wasn't like other non-hockey cities where they walk out talking about the fights and not caring.

Wow, you nail 90% of the visiting teams town we have been to also.
Cool to hear
Thanks for the perspective
As you said, its an easy game to love when you see the willingness of the players to give all.
Sounds like we need to go to Tampa for one.

I'd recommend it. Tampa is a nice city.

"Few players have been as important to the Rangers franchise as Henrik Lundqvist, and we are incredibly grateful for all he has done for our organization," Rangers owner James Dolan said in a statement. "Over his 15-year tenure, he not only established himself as one of the best goaltenders to ever play the game, he has also been one of hockey's fiercest competitors and most effective ambassadors. He will always be a part of the Rangers family."

Lundqvist, 38, will become an unrestricted free agent, joining a crowded market of veteran goaltenders when the signing period begins Oct. 9.

Most of them old
Scary and not smart to go after one, I get it … but someone will, and will be rewarded for it.

Sounds like a youth movement just like the Wild. At least your older guys brought you some Cups in their prime.

I keep having to remind myself that, but the thought of rebuilding is upsetting! It has to happen sometime, though.

Seems pretty upset that the rebuild is on, and he wasn't told
Pissed that Crow and Saad were jettisoned without him knowing about it
I've seen Subban play a lot of G and never been impressed (which means about 3 more Cups for you probably since I said that out loud)

* Mike Hoffman
* Evgeni Dadonov
* Sami Vatanen
* Mikael Granlund
* Alex Galchenyuk


Hoffman the only one I'd take a flyer on

So you might not be tied down to Subban yet.

There is some smoke here with a couple of those guys, but the "brain trust" seems to be comfortable moving forward with Subban and Delia. And they did not sign Koekkoek and Caggiula after both of them showed some big flashes last year. I don't see a real plan, either with rebuilding or reloading. And, you were right about Toews actually speaking out about it. It sounds like Crawford was not even contacted by the team. Bowman called his agent, who informed him of the news.
