We're still trying to figure out what Glen Sather is doing. He keeps trading young players for young players and signing high-priced agents. He wants the best of both worlds but he can't have it.
The Rangers always seem to do something bone-headed every offseason and this year was no exception.
Signing oft-injured Marian Gaborik for five years can either be the best thing Sather's ever done or one of the worst.
We still haven't forgiven him for letting go of Nikolai Zherdev. We know that he was a lazy Ukrainian but still, it's not like Tortorella couldn't motivate him.
Speaking of Mr. John Tortorella, we are in love with him.
Him and Ron Wilson may be the two craziest coaches in the league. Every time they are pissed, we just cross our fingers for an ejection.

Hotness Level (on a scale from 1 to 10) - 7
The number was originally about a 3 but then we remembered that this is the team with Henrik Lundqvist. Mr. Lundqvist sparkles like the Swedish god that he is, bringing the number for the hotness level way up.
With the departure of Paul Mara, we can like the team more now. Add in the cuteness of Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan and it's a seven.

I love this post...I agree with the 7, as well. I reupped my subscription to The Hockey News this year so one of our kids could get my hubby the "free" NYR keychain...it is pretty darn nice and it spins in the middle...woohoo! Life in our household is fun :)
you forgot marc staal!
how can you NOT love a staal brother?!
umm Sean Avery brings down the number for me.... I say a 6 just cus of him
p.s. Val I got the Caps keychain... its super cool, but I lost the middle piece so now thats where I hang my keys off of.
Well I have to agree - the Rangers have one of the craziest and most entertaining coaches in the league. As for the hotness I'd give them a 7 just for Henrik's eyes. Everyone else is completely secondary.
