Chris Drury from Trumbull CT. He's the pitcher from the team who won the little league championship what is now many moons ago. Good signings-both winners

Dolan backs both the knicks and rangers. Glen sathers has been given the benifit of the doubt and also the freedom to sign or trade whoever he thinks can improve the team. Glen doesn't pull punches. He goes for what he thinks can help the team improve right away. He's made some iffy moves and he has also made some splashes. Some work some haven't. He is still the man.

Isiah basically is glens basketball equal. Isiah know the game. He also makes quick moves. Some have worked, some haven't. Isiah also just made a big splash this off-season.

Back to dolan. He gets a lot of flap. I don't get how a trusting and loyal owner with infinate pockets can be a bad guy. If he wanted to just make money and not win the knicks would be like the hawks or the clippers back in the day.

I think dolan is concerned with keeping the msg nickname alive: "the worlds most famous arena".

The knicks and rangers are famous and popular around the world regardless. I think dolan is intent on bringing championships to ny, just like The boss in the Bronx. Is steinbrenner a idiot cuz he keeps trying to buy the world series? Cashman is good at getting the boss what he wants. Someone forgot about chemistry that's why they are losing.

Anyway, I think the rangers will be much improved as well as their knick counterparts. Msg will be poppin in 2008!

This is same as signing Kobe and KG at the same time.
It's a shok to all hockey world.
This how you have to built the team.
Clean it up of long term contracts and overpayed busts, play yound players and proven vet winners, establish team chemistry, make team attractive place for big time stars, and then get them in free agency.
Dolan will get more money next season even if Knick will get only one visitor at the Garden per game.
and this is a warranty for at list 5 years to come. Nice business..

Slats has done a great job. He took over an old team with nobody on the farm. Now he has a mid age team with a farm system that is really stacked.

I don't watch hockey but I support anything New York (except for the Giants, Yankees, and Islanders). Is the shift in sports power coming back to NY?

Huge weekend for the Rangers and Knicks with all these great players coming in today for press conferance. Say what you want about Dolan but he is really going for it. 80 mill for the 2 Rangers players.

I saw this on another board. Barry Melrose just commented on the Rangers signings:
Says Rangers will be very good.
Drury big in big games but his salary is for 60 goal scorers
Says Drury is what Rangers need in playoffs.
Says Drury playoff performance is what made salary...better than Briere
Should be captain but Jagr will stay Captain.
No doubt about it Drury is worth the money as the #1 FA available
Drury is the guy you want to win the cup.
Drury is a winner.

Gomez aka Gomer is a good pickup. Should be a #2 center. Will help make Rangers pp unbelieveable.
Still need defensemen added on the team.
Solid 2 way player who is excellant with the puck and makes his teammates better.

Drury always wanted to be on the NY Rangers.
Gomer wont be shocked by NY except when seeing a full arena.

Says Rangers are a top 4 team in the east.

Rangers got flat out better. I got this hardcore ranger fan at my job. Dude is crazy dude from staten island. He was first excited that I like the rangers but he was a little pissed that the rangers didn't get a defenseman. "trade that ***** jagr!" is what he made too clear.

I'm into the rangers but not a diehard. I can get emotional for them but only when they win. I never played the sport so I can't relate to game situations but I admire the sport cuz of their athleticism. Game is not easy.

Any real ranger or hockey fans out there? How do you feel about the ranger move isles?

I'm a diehard Ranger fan. Not only did the Rangers get better but the Isles, Sabres and Devils got much worse!

LOL, yeah it only took him 8 years and forced Salary Cap to make it work. I guess there is hope for Isiah, just give him 4 more years to make it work.
