This is why I hate the rangers because they are nothing but over-paid , self indulgent weenies with piss poor attiudes who take for granted the coaches that endure all their b1tch1ng and moaning about their own lack of confidence and sportsmanship. This is why everyone should be a devil fan, all in favor say eye.

I agree with that. The it seams like the rangers can buy any star player they like and when they get them the player just stops preforming. It's crazy ANY team could do better with the money that the rangers have. Go Canadiens

Madsion Square Garden is where legends go to die. Kind of like a whale graveyard.

this is my favorite post ever on this site!!!!

the rangers are turning hockey into baseball. im sick and tired of them spending all that money while the small market teams have to try to build with a small budget. i hope that the strike after next season gets the nhl straightened out, and the rangers have t dismantle their team and start over.

Moved the thread over to the Pro Sports Talk forum.

Anyways... what's this talk about the Rangers trying to get Jagr now? When will the Rangers figure out that just because you have an 80 million dollar payroll that doesn't mean you'll have a winning team?

Then I see that you're talking about the hockey Rangers

Yeah most NY teams have that attitude and swagger.

On a side note Can you believe that NJ didn't sell out game 7!!! That makes me mad. It makes it seem like they don't care anyways.

Couldn't agree more. Lindros, Bure, now maybe Jagr. Antonio McDyess, Marcus Camby, etc. Their careers have gone down hill when joining the Rangers and Knicks.

pwaldo,

Rangers = Yankees.

what he meant to say by that is they both are ruining their sport by all the money they throw around. the only difference is the yankees actually do a good job at buying their team

now when he says "the flyers are where its at", the flyers also throw around mad dough and they choke in the playoffs every year. hopefully when the nhl goes on strike and (hopefully) fixes the money problem, teams like the red wings, rangers, flyers, and stars will have to dismantle their teams and build a team like all the ohter low-income teams

I don't get how the Mets are any different than the Yankees.

The Yankees are EVIL because they have a $150 million dollar payroll.

The Mets are LOVEABLE because they ONLY HAVE A $105 million dollar payroll.

I said Rangers = Mets because look at who the Mets brought in Mo Vaughn, Roberto Alomar, Burnitz, and others that are OVERPAID old guys just like the Rangers.

At least most of the Yankees payroll has been to keep players like Jeter, Williams, Andy, Posada, etc.

Yeah sorry about that.

I kinda forgot that not everybody does watch baseball so they probably wouldn't know.

I only watch a little hockey so I couldn't name the top 5 in payroll either.

Does hockey have a salary cap or can teams just have as much as they want?

hockey teams, like baseball, can pay as much as they want. there is gonna be a strike after next season and hopefully gary bettmann (the nhl commish) will fix things UNLIKE bud selig.

At least us hockey fans will have the World Cup in 2004 to look forward to. I really think its gonna be a long strike.

Yeah strikes SUCK.

The strike in 1994 pratically killed baseball and they got NOTHING DONE.

Hopefully hockey will be able to get something done. Its not fun when you want to see some games played and there's nothing on because of a strike.

im actually rooting for a strike. if the nhl needs a whole year off to fix all their problems, then i am all for that. i would be a boring year but also worth it.

they are talking about them on around the horn, it was a debate between texas rangers and new york rangers and who is the bigger disgrace

Well if they do strike I hope they get something done unlike baseball. They were on strike forever and couldn't get anything done.

I don't recall anything good coming out of the strike in 1994.
