I really had high hopes this year. I thought our combination of players was the best we have had in years. Finally a team who would not be carried by one player as had been the case in the past seasons. The defense was questionable but the kids stepped up and added some depth. So, what happened? Where were these guys this series?
Aside from Jagr (who decided to show life in the playoffs after his most lackluster season) the veterans of this team disappeared and left the kids and Lundqvist to fend for themselves. They took way to many penalties and the powerplay was awful all year. Sickening…Trust me I know there are many other reasons. I can go on all day about Renney alone. But all of my bitching is not going to help the fact that the season is over and we are left once again unfulfilled.
I will miss Shanahan. I waited his whole career for him to play for the Rangers. He has always been one of my favorite players. Now I have to deal with the idea of him retiring…not happy about this.
An interview with Jagr yesterday revealed he is defiantly thinking about playing next year but I doubt it will be in NY.
And finally, the situation with Avery is completely insane. How in the world could the Rangers organization not give this guy what he wants????? He has been the best addition to this team we have seen in years. He is a “Ranger” in every sense of the word. He loves it here, he plays hard and we All love him. Every single fan who attends these games night after night loves this guy….Do Not spoil that for us….give him his money.
So, fellow 404 (and one 405) friends, I hope you all have a great summer. Maybe we can try to get together at Stout or something. We can drink and watch Detroit beat up on the Eastern conference winner.
