P.S.

Ryan, I dont think Inferno was defending him per say, he was just stating that he put up better numbers than Orr

It only sounds like I am defending him because I am not ripping him apart. I don’t hate the signing, He’s got more hockey skill than you give him credit for. (for a goon)

Yes he can be a liability, and a goon, but he is also a deterrent and a damn effective one. I will wait and see before I pass judgement.

You all call him an animal but you sound like a pack of wild animals yourselves, tearing into him before he plays a single game.

Whoah. I just saw the news about Gomez for Chris Higgins on Inferno’s site. I do like Higgins a lot (though I liked Gomez too). There’s just way too much news. It seems like we’re getting an entirely new team next year, yet again. You guys have to do another episode ASAP to help us sort everything out!

Ugh. All the news coming out over the summer is awful. Sather chasing after high-priced has-beens. Sather signing goons and letting our more reliable players walk. If things keep heading this direction, I doubt I will be following the Rangers very closely next season. (Though of course I will continue to listen to the NY Rangerscast!)

Seems that Slats has totally forgotten that we need scoring… Word has it we’re going after Chris Neil now…

Rangers make offer to Chris Neil. New blog post is now up about it.

it is reported that he signed for 1.4 a year, 2.8 in total

I lied. He’s making $2.8 per season, not in total. Oops.

First Inferno, now Plebeian. Why are you guys defending this clown? If you were the GM of the rangers, would you have made this signing? For every point Brashear scores, he will screw us over with his irresponsible play. There is no sense in waiting to see what kind of player he will be in a rangers jersey. He has been a goon for his entire career, and he is not going to turn over a new leaf for the rangers. This is Ryan Hollweg X10!

Ooh, Mike Knuble was given the same contract as Brashear to go play in Washington…

Give him a chance to hurt the Rangers more than help? I don’t want him to embrace us. He’s a thug, and has only fists, and no hockey skills. I never wanted him on the Rangers roster and never will want him to wear our uniform

At least Pronger might think twice before playing dirty against the Rangers.

I dont see what the big fuss is about. He IS a much better player than Orr ever was. So what if he is dirty? We are not on the receiving end of it…that’s good news.

If you boo him off the bat, he will never embrace the Rangers, and then he wont put forth any effort and it WILL turn out to be a bad signing…if you give him a chance however, he might just turn out to be a plus.

Put the past behind you, evaluate him on what kind of player he turns out to be, not his past actions against the Rangers. If he sucks, and costs the team some games because of his actions…THEN boo him

I’m saving up for the first game of the season just so I can boo this clown.

Well, now we probably don’t have enough money to sign Gaborik. Slats better get this deal with Heatley done already!

over/under 5 games that Brashear costs the Rangers this year with his irresponsible playing

I will boo Brashear every time he has the puck.

Betts I am sure is gone. Why lose Orr for one million only to add Brashear for 1.4? I hope he is part of a trade because with the Betts hit and the Shanny fight, no Ranger fan can root for him, in my opinion. Just awful!

Please God tell me they’re packaging him in a trade… how can you ahve both Betts and Brashear?

if betts wasn’t sure about coming back before, there is NO WAY he is coming back now
