FullTilt Rangers @NYR_FullTilt 4h4 hours ago FullTilt Rangers Retweeted Andrew Gross It's ok Dan Boyle...we were cursing you everytime you took the ice
Krieder was outstanding (again) in the playoffs. he should have the priority of resigning over Yandle IMHO.
Boyle didn't curse out Pat Leonard. He cursed out Larry Brooks, got in a heated verbal exchange with him, and mentioned Brett Cyrgalis who is the other New York Post writer who covers the Rangers during the discussion with Boyle. Cyrgalis wasn't there though. I thought Boyle deserved a lot of criticism, but some of our beat reporters are terrible, and should be called out for it. Whoever is the Rangers doctor should be fired. Letting a concussed Girardi play in game 1 is a fireable offense. It hurt the team with his terrible play, but more importantly its neurological negligence to let someone with concussion symptoms play a full contact professional sport. Yandle's answers make me think he'll go to wherever the money is. I agree with Poeman about Buchnevich, but it doesn't help pump the tires when Brass is mentioning him today as someone who will help the team. I don't think you can operate under the assumption that Buchnevich will fill any role. For all we know he might not be ready for the NHL. If he helps, thats a bonus.
The way it was initially reported I envisioned a Ryan Leaf like explosion, Boyle was actually pretty calm and just asked him to leave. Good for Boyle, some of the writers are tabloid hacks, stir up controversy where there is nothing. I actually stopped reading the papers because of the extreme story telling in their articles. Lupica was the last guy I could actually read before I stopped altogether.
Way to go Boyle. Leaving with class. Fucking crybaby. Larry Brooks might be (might be) a little bit of a hack, but cmon. 39 yr old veteran acting like Ryan Leaf during his rookie year.
Hey Matt, what's the word from the locker room on what Boyle's "serious" family issues are that he had to deal with this season?
The family all pushed Boyle to retire during the season as his play was causing blindness to some members...Something like that I am sure.
Boyle is a product of the Ultra-gentle San Jose press who wouldn't dare say a word against the only professional franchise in city limits. Larry Brooks just doesn't give a shit.

OOOH! I Wanna play!!! Dan Girardi - Get off this team by any means possible Dylan McIlrath - Keep Kevin Klein - Keep (Average NHL Defenseman playing above his level) J.T. Miller - Trade Eric Staal - Keep, and put him at his natural position where he would be better than any Center we habe Kevin Hayes - Trade Tanner Glass - Get Lost Derick Brassard - Keep, average second line center at best Marc Staal - Keep. I think with a good partner he can work out of this Jesper Fast - Keep Chris Kreider - Keep - Highest priority free agent, yes above Yandle. Derek Stepan - Get off this team by any means possible Dan Boyle - Get off this team by any means possible Oscar Lindberg - Keep. Potential scoring force in the middle with the right wingers Viktor Stalberg - Either/Or Ryan McDonagh - Keep Dominic Moore - Keep: This was his first bad year, and he deserves another chance Mats Zuccarello - Good Lord, Keep him Rick Nash - Get off this team by any means possible Brady Skjei - Keep Keith Yandle - Keep for 4 Mil max Henrik Lundqvist - Keep Antti Raanta - Keep Jeff Gorton - No way will they get rid of him yet Alain Vigneault - Keep: This was his first bad year, and he deserves another chance
