Seth Rothman at Inside Hockey reports on how Donald Brashear began changing Ranger fans' opinion of him by threatening them at Wednesday night's Rangers Fan Fest event in the lobby of The Theater at Madison Square Garden...
"In fact, when Brashear was introduced Wednesday night at a Rangers Fan Fest event in the lobby of The Theater at Madison Square Garden by emcee Dave Maloney, he was received by a mix of boos and cheers. Brashear quickly attempted to quell the uprising when he reached the stage.
“Enough booing,” Brashear said. “I’ll take you all one by one.”
Predictably -- and perhaps intelligently, the boos changed to cheers and laughter, and the fans seemed to warm to Brashear’s self-deprecating humor as the hour-long event went on."
...while Ranger fans may be complaining about Brashear now, the first time he pummels someone who sneezes near Gaborik we'll all be reminded of his value to this team.
Rothman also offers highlights of a Q&A, including this confrontation between newest Ranger Chris Higgins and fans who booed him for growing up a Canadiens fan...
At one point, Higgins even chastised the fans for booing, to which an adult fan yelled: “Get used to it!”
...Higgins better grow some thick skin fast.

I will boo this mofo all season, even if he haunts Denis Potvin down. He is the dirtiest, sneakiest player in the league, and I hated him long before he hit Betts.
