personally I don't have a problem with it. I get some of what he brings but this shouldn't be a big loss.

I always felt that when he was injured the first time around during 2007-08, the Rangers played up their record with and without him way too much and this was when they had guys like Shanahan, Jagr, Drury and Gomez on the team.

Its okay , In Prust We Trust.

neilybabes86

i guess it didn't pay to have a guy making 4 million play 2 minutes per night or not at all


not to mention..prust has taken his role

I remember it well, Graves wore number 11 for the first game. I really liked Bernie Nicholls but if that's what it took to get Messier, then so be it. I remember Messier scoring in his first game in Montreal, where they hadn't won in forever until that point.

This was who played in his first game as a Ranger:

Tie Domi 0 1
Mike Gartner 1 2
Adam Graves 0 3
Mark Hardy 0 0
Jody Hull 0 0

Kris King 0 1

First the Rangers sell my seats I've had for three years out from under me -- and this is after I had given them a deposit toward them for the 2011-2012 season back in April -- and then they go and get rid of Avery, with Torts being absolutely classless about it (and I like Torts).

I was hoping to share my seats and the fun of watching Sean Avery do his thing with my daughter, who just might be old enough for her first hockey game, this year. Guess I'll be taking her to see the Brooklyn Aviators or something. Hey, maybe they'll claim Sean!

Seriously, though, Avery and Prust were the only two guys who showed up for the playoffs last season.

and this from the Rangers:

TIM ERIXON RECALLED FROM CONNECTICUT
Sean Avery Assigned to Connecticut; Marc Staal Placed on IR

New York, October 5, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that defenseman Tim Erixon has been recalled from the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL), while forward Sean Avery has been assigned to Connecticut. In addition, defenseman Marc Staal has been placed on injured reserve.

Erixon, 20, registered two assists with a plus-three rating and 10 penalty minutes in five preseason contests with the Rangers prior to his assignment to Connecticut on Saturday. He tallied his first points as a Blueshirt with two assists, including one on the power play, at HC Sparta Praha on Friday. Erixon made his first appearance as a Ranger in the team's preseason opener on September 21 vs. New Jersey at Albany, NY.

The 6-2, 190-pounder recorded five goals and 19 assists for 24 points, along with 40 penalty minutes with Skelleftea HC of the Swedish Elite League (SEL) last season. He established SEL career-highs in games played, assists and points while skating in his third full season in Sweden's top professional league. Erixon tied for fifth on the team in assists and eighth in points, and ranked fifth on the club in penalty minutes. He also tied for fifth on the team in playoff goals (three) and assists (five), and sixth in points (eight) while establishing playoff career-highs in games played (18), goals, assists, points, and penalty minutes (12).

The Rangers now have 23 players remaining on their active roster, including two goaltenders, eight defensemen and 13 forwards. The Blueshirts will begin their 2011-12 regular season schedule on Friday, October 7 vs. the Los Angeles Kings at Stockholm, Sweden (1:00 p.m. ET), as part of the 2011 Compuware NHL Premiere.

NEW YORK RANGERS OPENING DAY ROSTER:
Goal (2) - Martin Biron, Henrik Lundqvist
Defense (8) - Brendan Bell, Stu Bickel, Michael Del Zotto, Steve Eminger, Tim Erixon, Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh, Michael Sauer
Forward (13) - Artem Anisimov, Brian Boyle, Ryan Callahan, Erik Christensen, Brandon Dubinsky, Ruslan Fedotenko, Marian Gaborik, Brandon Prust, Brad Richards, Mike Rupp, Derek Stepan, Wojtek Wolski, Mats Zuccarello
