94 all over again

For you hockey gurus out there, the Rangers signing high coveted free agents, Scott Gomez, and Chris Drury is exactly what hockey needed to get back on the map. Hockey was never bigger than when the New York Rangers last won the Stanley Cup in 1994. I was only eight at the time, but the memory of Messier holding up that cup will forever be in my memory. New York City is where it all happens. Being the media craze that it is, having the New York Rangers winning the cup would get a lot more people back into hockey. The lockout a couple years ago caused many to flee from a falling sport. Obviously a bit north of us, Canadians eat, sleep, and breathe hockey. I wish that was the case in the USA. If anybody wants to jump on the Rangers bandwagon now is the time. With the prowess of Jagr, Gomez, and Drury, as well as one of the best up and coming star goalies in Lundqvist expect no short of a stanley cup appearance. Being a Yankee fan I always expect a World Series, and this year I am expecting a championship from the blueshirts. I have lived through a decade of turmoil, and being torn apart by devils fans. Well its finally time to give them a taste of their own medicine and bring Lord Stanley's cup back to MSG, exactly where it belongs.
