9-1 tho last nite. OUCH!!!
They didn't add him for offense I know, but damn....
that was an arse kicking.
It's been the same problem for the Rangers for a long, long time....
Lack of a decent defense....
And for a team that has Poti, Leetch, and Kasparaitis for D-men already, that's pretty sad....
But, ya know, it could also be linked to the inability of their forwards to chip in on the defensive end.....

Your right Va... and if they are expecting Dunham to bail them out every night they are sadly mistaken. Trust me I know. He is a good goalie, but he can no carry a team long. Look at my Preds now, they are rolling since the trade. I wouldn't give up Vokoun for anything right now.
Well, maybe not anything....
I think the Rangers are gonna grab a goalie very soon... Dunham is still woozy with post-concussion stuff...
Maybe Kolzig or Burke....
Yeah, it'll be Red Wings vs. Maple Leafs in the stanley cup final and it will be a 7 game match. But when you all lose, don't try any of that hockey riot shit in Detroit!

Rangers Lindros suffers concussion
1/28/2004
NEW YORK (Ticker) - New York Rangers center Eric Lindros, whose once-brilliant career has been marred by injuries, suffered another concussion Wednesday.
Lindros had his head down along the boards in the neutral zone when he was nailed with a clean hit by Washington Capitals defenseman Jason Doig midway through the second period at Madison Square Garden.
The 6-5, 237-pound Lindros stayed on the ice and sought out Doig off the ensuing faceoff. The two exchanged punches and received five minutes major penalties for fighting.
Lindros, who turns 31 next month, finished the period but appeared dazed as he left the bench for the locker room and did not return. The team said he will be re-evaluated Thursday.
It is the latest in a long line of concussions for Lindros, who has been sidelined 109 games since the start of the 1996-97 season due to a variety of injuries.
Injury-free last season, Lindros was beset by a series of concussions in 1999-00, the last of which came with Philadelphia in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference finals.
One of the most hyped players to enter the NHL, Lindros won the Hart Trophy following the lockout-abbreviated 1994-95 campaign. The five-time All-Star was a force his first five seasons, totaling 436 points in 297 games.
Lindros also led the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1997, but he feuded with general manager Bob Clarke before he was dealt to New York in August 2001.
In 39 games this season, Lindros has 10 goals and 22 assists.

Talk aboot a broken record....
Hang up the skates, Eric.
Anyone going to the All Star Game? I dig this game the best with baseball a close 2nd....
How 'bout them Devils! They're right on the Flyers ass and they are playing well without Stevens. Boy, what a shot in the arm when he returns for the stretch run.

Dude,
I've always been kind of a Devils fan, just because they're an exciting team to watch, but when they got a hold of my boy, longtime Shark Jeff Friesen, I was rooting for them to with the cup so he could get his name on it....
Helluva hockey team. Brodeur's the man. Scott Stevens (slowed by concussion) still a force to be reckoned with....
Wait a second, are we talking about the same team ??Originally posted by Hecubus

The New Jersey Devils, exciting to watch ??
Don't get me wrong, outstanding TEAM....
Brodeur is becoming one of the all-time greats...
But exciting ???
If you think the Devils are exciting, I'd imagine you just love all of these 2-1 games, right ??
Being a Sharks fan, I'm totally used to the low scoring games...and all of the ties for that matter...
Back in the day, though, when Daneyko (sp?) was on the blue line, those guys brought some serious wood in games.....
I do have pretty limited exposure to the Devils being out here in CA, but you're right, they're usually talking about Brodeur first & foremost.
Not to mention the attention The Great One brought to the sport. I'm not sure the value of that can be measured.
Not to mention the 200 point seasons, all I can STILL say is wow.

Couple things...
Mario Lemieux is the greates hockey player ever. Better than Gretzky. I saw them both play at the Boston Garden.
My opinion is that Gretzky is the best player ever and Lemieux is the most gifted player ever...
My number one hero in hockey was a Bruin too...Number 77 Raymond Bourque...I'm so glad he finally got the Cup in Colorado...
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
I think if Mario doesn't get cancer and doesn't have his back go out of whack, he may not have passed Wayne in points, but I think he definitely would be known as the most dominant player ever....
Let's not forget, Wayne was on a much better Oilers team for the majority of his career, giving himself many more scoring opportunities, while Mario's first several years were on lousy Pens teams... Right after the Pens won the 2 Cups, he gets hurt and eventually retired for 3 1/2 years....
Hasek out for the season
Canadian Press
2/10/2004
DETROIT (AP) - Detroit Red Wings goaltender Dominik Hasek is out for the rest of the season and playoffs because of a recurring groin injury.
``That's it for the season,'' Hasek said Tuesday. ``I cannot handle anymore. My groin, it cannot handle it. I hoped for two months it would get better every day. But it didn't get better, it got even worse last week''
The 39-year-old Hasek, who returned to the Wings this season after a one-year retirement, has played just 14 games this season because of injuries. His record is 8-3-2 with a 2.20 goals-against average and .907 save percentage.
Hasek's absence leaves the goaltending duties to Curtis Joseph and Manny Legace.
Hasek does hope to play again after this season.
``He really feels that he needs an extended period of time to give the groin a chance to heal,'' Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said from the NHL meetings in Henderson, Nev.
``I think in the summertime he's going to decide whether he wants to officially retire,'' he added.
Hasek retired after Detroit won the 2002 Stanley Cup, and the Red Wings signed Joseph, a former Toronto Maple Leaf who was a free agent, to replace him.
But after the Red Wings were swept in the first round of the playoffs last year, the six-time Vezina Trophy winner and two-time league MVP came back.
Suddenly three was a crowd and the team tried to trade Joseph. But no team wanted to take Joseph and his $8-million US contract.
When Hasek was healthy, Detroit put Joseph on waivers and sent him to its AHL team in Grand Rapids twice.
Joseph, who has played well at times in Hasek's absence, has another year remaining on his contract.
``We're very, very lucky that he's been a real pro through this,'' Holland said. ``And luckily for us that nobody claimed him.''
Hasek is making $6 million this season.
Brain injury advocate to Lindros: quit
TSN.ca Staff
2/10/2004
An Albany-based attorney who leads an advocacy group for victims of brain injuries says Eric Lindros should not be allowed to play hockey again.
Michael Kaplen, the president of the Brain Injury Association of New York, says sports concussions and brain injuries in particular are underappreciated.
"How can I say... 'Retire him?' How do I have the nerve?" Kaplen tells the Daily News. "My answer is that I've seen thousands who have had the same injury and went back to play and had tragic consequences."
Two leading researchers in the field of sports-related concussions don't necessarily agree with Kaplen's conclusions.
"In my opinion, I don't think the actual number of concussions really is an issue," said Dr. Ira Casson, who is a member of the NFL's subcommittee on brain injury.
"I know that there are many people in the field who would probably think otherwise. I don't know what their number is, but they would probably say once you get to a certain number, you probably should stop."
Dr. Mark Lovell of the University of Pittsburgh, who has designed testing programs for both the NFL and NHL, agrees that there is no magic number. He says frequency of concussions and diminished resistance to lesser blows are key factors in determining whether a player should be permitted to return.
Lovell says since 25 months have passed between concussions for Lindros and the fact that a forceful blow was required to cause the latest one are potentially encouraging signs.
Lindros is currently recovering from his eighth documented concussion after he was bodychecked by Washington defenceman Jason Doig two weeks ago. He is currently under the care of noted neurologist Dr. Karen Johston.
OK....
The Lindros thing is a no-brainer.........pun intended.
The Hasek thing....what a waste after the guy stirs up the biggest shit storm in Detroit this side of Barry Sanders retiring.....
Good for CuJo to feel some stability again....even if it ain't in his creaky old bones!!
Now it's not only Lindros, but possibly Roenick as well...
He's now had 9 concussions....
And these days Roenick is the heart & soul of the Flyers. It's like he's been reborn.
It'll be interesting to see how they do tonite when my Sharks roll into town. Big brother Primeau still ailing? Little bro's on a tear....
He scored on that breakaway, by the way.....
Yeah sure, now the fucker scores....
Wayne Primeau scored as much when he played for the Pens as Wayne Campbell....
Party on Wayne !!!!
Ever see that fight between him & his brother? Good stuff. I hear their mom chewed their asses afterwards & made them promise to never do it again...
Now this toally hurts me to say but maybe Scott Stevens as well.Originally posted by Va Beach VH Fan
Now it's not only Lindros, but possibly Roenick as well...
Nah...Stevens will be back. He's tougher than those 2 combined.
bondra goes to the sens for a prospect and a pick. i hope the sens implode.
I hope you're right!Originally posted by Hecubus
