...i just took a guess that Avery is going to be back in there. Don't be surprised to see Voros again. Maybe for Orr.

Wrap the series up today, Let's Go RANGERS!
No Guts... How can they let Brashear run one of ours and not retaliate on Ovechin... This is not a proud moment for the Ranger fans.
What is with these announcers... Have they seen the next coming of the lord when they watch Ovechin... Come on guys... There comments about Avery... He is one of the few players who is playing with heart even though he has been told to tone it down.
Tough loss against the Caps today. I saw the game on TV and I was wondering if you could answer me a question. I only saw a few fans in Rangers jerseys in the crowd, how come so few?
Thrashers... the reason you only see a few people with rangers jerseys is because you can only see the first few rows when watching on tv. Those seats are corporate seats and not real fans...they clog up MSG and are usually half empty for a meaningless game. Probably the only thing i hate about msg.
Ah, thanks beezer, that makes sense. In our arena the corporate seats are in the mid level section so you don't see them on TV. I didn't know yours were down low. Save those seats for real fans why don't they!
