well, this is not Knicks related, but Dolan has given the big thumbs up to NY Ranger's GM Sather, Layden's hockey counterpart.

Said Dolan: "And he's got a plan. He's got a strategy. He's executing it. We're supporting it and we're going to continue to do so. I think we're really lucky to have him."

Now, I don't know if this was because the Rangers have been eliminated from the playoff (I really don't follow hockey), but we sure have not heard those kinds of words on the basketball side of things.

Think this is any indirect message to Layden and company? Thoughts?

I listen to WFan practically all year long and all the people who follow the Rangers say Sather has done an awful job in trading their young talent for overpaid, over-the-hill, stars of yesterday. Sounds just like the Knicks. Shows Dolan has no idea what is going on.
