Every New York Rangers fan Would Appriciate Henrik's Loyalty......
ReplyDeleteHowever those same fans would agree that he gets very little support from his teamates during games. Henrik's not perfect....But He has little bad days on the ice than his teamates.
I still remember when many fans were begging him to switch teams because he DESERVES To Win the Stanley Cup and he won't win it with NYR.
We'll see How that Changes with the New Season and new Players Coming In....
A lot "Star Players" i.e Voros and and a few others are not deserving of their salary...they have not worked hard enough to earn it.
Can't wait to see Hank in NYC.
Begging Over the Internet That is......
ReplyDeleteAs a diehard Rangers fan, I never want to see Henrik play for anyone else. I hope he stays a Ranger for life, and I really believe he will be. I believe he is sincere when he says he wants to win here, and obviously we know he loves living here. However, the team has been relying on him way too much the past few years, but that should change this year with the addition of Martin Biron. They finally have a legitimate backup for him, and I think we will see a more refreshed Henrik throughout the season.
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest of the team, Voros was NEVER a star player. Voros's contract was ridiculous from the start. He was one of the many free agents Glen Sather overpaid, but he's finally gone and they added players with more offensive ability like Alexander Frolov and Mats Zuccarello Aasen.
I don't want Henrik to leave either.......the fans wanted him to win the SC as much as he does.So...Everyone's go their opinion.
ReplyDeleteLOL, yeah when I said "Star Player" I was Mocking him.....That's why it was in quotations.I think He's a waste of space and money...along with Avery(Though his psycho personality seems to only fit in NYC)
I think We can get better players instead of those guys.
There a lot of talk about this Martin Biron....I'm begining to get curious about this backup....But HL Obviously will always be #1.
