It Ain't Happening

Peca signed with Columbus. Apparently Sather went so far as to bring him down to the big city for a face to face last week but decided against making an offer. I'd assume the issue was the question we all had, his health. I was going to say we'll see for ourselves how he looks when the come to NY but after reviewing the schedule posted on the Rangers site and the schedule posted on the Blue Jackets site. It seems the two teams won't be meeting at all this season. How is that possible? Columbus is driving distance! Good thing we've got those eight Islander meeting to keep us riveted to our seats.

Oh, and they still need some defense.

All the cool kids are doing it

Of course Micheal Peca wants to be a Ranger, all the cool kids are already doing it! According to John Dellapina in today's Daily News, Michael Peca is lobbying to be the Rangers third line center for next season. Assuming he's healthy he could provide an aspect much needed defense I've been begging for all summer. Questions are is he really 100%? and how much $$$?

Summer Hiatus

I turned my head toward the sea for a few days and missed all the hub-bub. Honestly, I don't have much to say on the Avery nonsense anyway. Isn't that what arbitration is all about? The team is trying to pay as little as possible after all, aren't they? I think the only weird part is that the comments made it to the papers. Hossa's back in the fold avoiding arbitration. Still need that big D. Who's going to be the first defense pairing? It's not looking real good at the moment.

I can report that the beach was lovely last week. It's nice to see dolphins frolicking off the Jersey shore on a regular basis.

Hey Glenn, how was the party?
