This team has made great strides no questioning that. I think most can agree that they have played above most people's expectations.<br /><br />That being said they have put themselves in the thick of things for the playoff run. I see no reason to stop thinking big and really why not? Look what Philly did last year.<br /><br />I agree with you totally that the Rangers must stay the course. However you cannot ignore exploring all opportunities to improve the roster. If that means trading someone who was once thought untouchable then so be it.Kotsy's Kornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450255858469964123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968760202711798607.post-19143640850961517172011-02-10T12:19:26.545-05:002011-02-10T12:19:26.545-05:00Hello Chris...a forgotten yet very important fact ...Hello Chris...a forgotten yet very important fact is before the season started was if this team was a top 5 or top 10 pick, playoffs? what playoffs for true and intelligent fans would have been our consensus. Know what this year has done is set the foundation with us having a team identity. This 5 game losing streak is not due to heart or compete. Frankly the stars of the team were not there, Lundqvuist was at fault for two of the losses and the powerplay contributing to all 5 in several ways. not scoring and the aftermath of that is energizing the other teams to score. Gaborik has not scored a clutch goal this year maybe 1 game..where he was clutch against a poor foe in the Isles..that does not cut it nor does Lundqvuist giving up bad goals on a consistent basis..he has been good for 1 in every 3 games or so..in this 5 game losing streak he gave up 5 of them in 3 start. Should we panic? no but those who are short sighted might and my hopes are that the ownership, Sather and Trots stay the course. ! important note is that should Gaborik be traded for draft picks and prospects, this move would not be a panic move but one that enhances the teams core and is in alignment with the direction this team is going. Only team I see as viable trade partners for Gaborik is the LA Kings in a couple of different scenarios. Getting Schenn, Forbort and a 1st rd pick are paramount as far as return goesLeatherneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12789399731413822905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968760202711798607.post-17808130015067169262011-02-10T00:22:24.654-05:002011-02-10T00:22:24.654-05:00Wrath, What can I say that hasn't been said.

Then again, the way we have been playing, not sure that'll be anytime soon.<br /><br />Earth to Marian Gaborik. Come in. Where has this guy been? I hope to find out he was playing hurt the at the end of the season. His 1 on 1 game is laughable right now.<br /><br />Bottom line, this team better start winning! They're starting to resemble all of my other favorite teams... LOSERS.Wrath of Sanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550273768030515133noreply@blogger.com
