Same to you guys! Lets hope this momentum carries into 2007 and nothing but the best for the Rangers and their faithful fans! I know 2007 is going to rock for me. Starting a new job, got a new girl, things are going my way!
January 01, 2007 Clueless Colie Still a Deer in the Headlights
Colton Orr was suspended five games for an infraction that the referees felt was a minor penalty, while Donald Brashear was suspended for one game for what the referees considered a match penalty for intent to injure, not unlike the sucker punch that ended Jeff Beukeboom's career. All of which confirms what was evident nearly ten years ago when Colin Campbell was fired as coach of the Rangers -- the guy is cluelesss. The coach who put Alexei Kovalev on the fourth line while putting Tim Sweeney in his last NHL season on the first line has not had a sniff for another head coaching job in nearly a decade since his lost his Rangers' job, and here we once again have evidence as to why that is -- Orr's accidental hit to Ovechkin's jaw is five times worse than Brashear's deliberate sucker punch to Aaron Ward during a play stoppage, despite Brashear's history and everything else that he did during this game. Colin Campbell has proven once again that there is one standard for what the other teams can do to the Rangers and another standard for what the Rangers can do in return. Shame on you, Colie.

THERE is no doubt that Colton Orr earned the five-game sentence handed down yesterday by NHL VP Colin Campbell for charging 60 feet across the ice to plant his stick across bystander Alex Ovechkin's face with 4:20 to go in the Rangers' throwback 4-1 victory over the Caps at the Garden on Saturday.
The stunt had nothing to do with hockey, nothing to do with toughness, nothing to do with standing up and being counted, even if the winger's heart was and essentially always has been in the right place, talent and boxing limitations, aside.
With that understood, however, the double standard of justice that often seems to apply to incidents involving the Rangers remains a curiosity of the one-time Blueshirt coach's tenure in the league office.
Donald Brashear, an oafish goofball of renown, most certainly could have concussed Aaron Ward when he sucker-punched the defenseman in the face in the immediate aftermath of his third-period bout with People's Champion Brendan Shanahan, and yet received only a one-game suspension for his transgression.
Much more to the point, though, is Campbell's failure to suspend Chris Neil for his leaping forearm to the head of Petr Prucha at 16:25 of the first period Friday night in Ottawa. Neil charged Prucha and then left his feet to deliver the blow that snapped the Rangers winger's head against the glass.
True, Neil did receive a five-minute major, but Campbell's failure to suspend Neil for a dangerous blow to the head is inexplicable, though only slightly more confusing than the league's refusal to address Brendan Witt's unpenalized elbow to Jaromir Jagr's head at the Coliseum on Tuesday. And, come to think of it, no more or less confusing than the league's blind eye to Derian Hatcher's unpenalized elbow to Jagr's head in Philadelphia on Dec. 12.
*
No, the Rangers are not simply rolling over and accepting the disgraceful claim of Sandis Ozolinsh and his agent, Paul Theofanous, that left knee discomfort is preventing the 34-year-old defenseman from accepting his waiver assignment to the AHL Wolf Pack.
The Post has learned that the front office is dispatching Ozolinsh to Colorado to undergo a full examination and evaluation by Dr. William G. Clancy Jr., the orthopedist who performed the reconstructive surgery on the defenseman following last season.
Depending upon the results of the exam, the Rangers will consider filing a grievance or suspending the $2.75M Ozolinsh, who is believed to have first complained about his knee when management insisted he report to Hartford more than a week after he cleared waivers on Dec. 19.

Rangers look to end five-game road winless streak vs. Devils
Jan 01, 2007
NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Rangers' recent road struggles have lasted for more than two weeks. Their problems against the New Jersey Devils on the road have gone on for a lot longer.
The slumping Rangers look to end a five-game skid away from Madison Square Garden, including shutouts in their last two road games, when they travel to Continental Airlines Arena for the first time this season to face the first-place Devils on Tuesday night.
New York ended a season-high seven-game losing streak with a 4-1 home victory over Washington on Saturday, but the Rangers haven't won on the road since Dec. 14. The last four defeats during their skid came away from MSG.
While the Rangers will be looking to end their current road slide Tuesday, they've been unable to find a way to be successful at the Meadowlands for a long time. New York is 3-17-1 in its last 21 visits to Continental Airlines Arena since the start of the 1997-98 season.
The Rangers haven't dropped six straight on the road since a seven-game slide from Dec. 31, 2001-Jan. 17, 2002.
New York, blanked by the New York Islanders and Ottawa in their previous two road games, have not scored in a 151-minute, 43-second stretch of road play. On Tuesday, they'll likely face Martin Brodeur, who has two shutouts in his last three games - all wins.
Brodeur has more victories against the Rangers than any other opponent, going 34-15-0 with 15 ties and a 2.13 goals-against average. He's 23-5 with three ties against New York at home, where he has recorded all six of his shutouts in the series.
Brodeur, third all-time in shutouts with 86, tops the NHL this season with six.
Despite their problems at New Jersey, the Rangers hope to begin a turnaround following their victory over the Capitals. New York's goal total in that game was its highest since its losing streak began Dec. 16.
"It isn't easy when you care about the team and the fans," Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr said. "I was kind of scared. I (just) wanted the losing streak to be over."
New York showed life in areas other than on offense, as forward Brendan Shanahan fought Washington enforcer Donald Brashear in the third period after Brashear took liberties with Jagr.
"When your leaders do things like that, clearly it demonstrates that they're willing to pay any price to win," Rangers coach Tom Renney said. "I think that lends itself nicely to making sure that we don't get ourselves into that kind of streak again."
Henrik Lundqvist is likely to be in net for the Rangers on Tuesday. Lundqvist has allowed fewer than three goals in each of his last three starts, and ended a personal four-game skid by blanking Washington for more than 57 minutes.
The second-year player is 4-0-1 with a 1.78 GAA in five starts against the Devils.
"We have great scorers on this team," Lundqvist said. "We just had to be patient and keep working hard."
New Jersey defeated the Islanders 2-0 on Saturday for its third consecutive victory. The Devils are 5-1-1 in their last seven games.
"It was pretty exciting hockey," New Jersey coach Claude Julien said. "If it were not for the goaltending, it would have been a different outcome."
Brodeur made 29 saves and Patrik Elias scored an empty net goal with 10 seconds left to extend his point streak to six games. He has five goals and five assists in that stretch.
The key for New Jersey over the last seven contests has been special teams. The Devils are 10-for-32 on the power play during that span, while allowing one goal in 25 short-handed situations.
New York, though, has killed off all 14 of its opponents' power plays in the last three games.
The Rangers, who lead the season series with the Devils 2-1, return to the Meadowlands on Jan. 16 for the next meeting.

Colin Campbell's vindictive actions against the
Rangers are so consistent and outrageous that they
are bordering on comical.
The suspensions that he hands out are, in essence,
a court of law. Every decision that he makes sets
a precedent for future actions of all NHL teams.
But since his arrival into office, Campbell has
handed out punishments to the Rangers using new
rationale that is never followed again.
I've ranted about this petty man in this column
since 2002. You can read them in the archives if
you'd like, but here is some history ...
Example: Hits to the Head
Early in 2002, Purinton high sticked Steven Peat to start
a fight, and Igor Ulanov high sticked Konawalchuk.
In both instances, the opposing player was not injured.
Colin Campbell suspended each Ranger player for
seven games.
In his verdict, Campbell wrote, "prior to the start
of the season, all clubs were advised that that there
would be a stricter enforcement regarding illegal
hits to the head."
So using the Ranger suspensions, Campbell's legal
precedent would be two-fold:
- Hits to the head, whether they cause injury or not,
could result in significant suspensions
- Hits to the head that do cause injuries would be
met with suspensions of greater than 7 games
Did this precedent stick for others? Of course not.
- Billy Guerin had received 3 games for a slash that
broke Patrik Stefan's jaw.
- Elbows to the head by Rob Ray and Marchment that
caused concussions? 5 games.
- Varada butt-ended Lindros' eye? Zero games.
Example: Coach Intentions
At the end of a game against the Blue Jackets, Ranger
coach Bryan Trottier (sigh) put Kristof Oliwa,
Sandy McCarthy and Dale Purinton on the ice in a move
that resulted in a brawl, but no injuries.
Colin Campbell suspended Trottier for two games.
In his decision, Campbell wrote that because the coach
used those players at the end of a game that was already
decided, he was responsible for the violence.
So using the Ranger suspensions, Campbell's precedent
would be defined as follows:
- A coach's intent can be used for suspensions
- More serious injuries would meet greater suspensions
Did this precedent stick? Of course not.
- Caps-Thrashers this year. Multiple fights at end of
game. Coaches fined, not suspended
- Others? There are plenty.
Present Day: Colton Orr suspension
Colton Orr high sticks Ovechkin where no injury occurs.
Colin Campbell suspends him for five games.
In his decision, Campbell writes "[Orr's] actions with
his stick were reckless and dangerous. Although no
injury resulted, the action is unacceptable."
So the precedent is that reckless actions can result
in suspensions. So naturally, this means that the
frequent elbows to Jagr's head by goons will be met
with similar punishment.
We all know the answer, so should we laugh or rant?
I can tell you that opposing teams are laughing.
Derian Hatcher, Brendan Witt and Donald Brashear are
sharpening their elbows for future runs at Jaromir Jagr,
chuckling at their good fortune.
It is only a matter of time before Cam Janssens takes
out Jagr with a 50 foot charging elbow.
I'd write that Colin Campbell should be ashamed at his
blatant incompetence and bias. But history has already
proven that the man has no integrity, so what's the point?
Happy hunting NHL. First one to knock off a Ranger player
gets a fruit basket from the league office.

It turns out the Rangers WERE one of six teams to claim Petr Nedved on re-entry waivers from the Flyers, only to lose out to Edmonton, which was lower in the standings (although “lose out” might not be entirely appropriate here). Yes, even to try to go after the 35-year-old Nedved might further irritate those fans who want to see the team give more opportunities to prospects. But seeing how the team would be on the hook for only a quarter of the two-time Ranger’s $2.35 million salary, it wasn’t like they’d be breaking the bank either way. Still, you have to wonder if a guy couldn’t hack it with the last-place Flyers, just how much fuel he’s got left in the tank. So if you don’t like the sound of it, be thankful it didn’t happen.

January 3, 2007 -- ON a night when the trapping Rangers yielded as little ice as the trapping Devils, Scott Gomez was the lone player on the rink to eat up precious chunks of it, one shift at a time, three strides at a time.
On a night when the Blueshirts converted four of their eight shootout opportunities against Martin Brodeur to defeat the Devils 3-2 at the Meadowlands, one could envision just how much more dangerous the Rangers would be with impending free agent Gomez in their lineup, leading the rush next season and maybe for four or five following that.
Make no mistake. It is irrefutable that the healing Rangers will need Gomez far more than New Jersey's first-line center will need them when he hits the open market on July 1.
In a league in which speed kills more than ever, Gomez is going to get his money, there's no doubt about that. Once Joe Thornton and Vincent Lecavalier signed multi-year deals in the summer of 2005 and Brad Richards signed his max-deal last summer, the class of centers of the Class of '07 was guaranteed to enter a seller's market.
And Gomez, who turned 27 just 10 days ago and will be entering the prime years of a career that began in 1999-2000, is going to be the prime pivot up for auction. If Marc Savard - two years older with a history of attitude issues and who had never played a playoff game - got $20M over four years last summer from the Bruins, the bidding will start at five years and $30M on the two-time Cup-winning Gomez.
Daniel Briere and Chris Drury are both in the final years of their deals with Buffalo, Peter Forsberg will be free - alternate meaning - over the summer and so will both Robert Lang and Pavel Datsyuk. None will be as compatible with the Blueshirts as Gomez, who has won 53 more playoff games than the Rangers (53-0) since he joined the NHL, and who has break-down talent that sets him apart from anyone even close to earning a living on Broadway.
Gomez has always believed himself comparatively underpaid. He went through an arbitration hearing last summer in which he gained an award of $5M. Stranger things may have happened in New Jersey - such as Claude Lemieux coming back four years after filing a grievance against Lou Lamoriello - but the chance of Gomez spurning a shot at the market is essentially non-existent. Certainly No. 23 has no intention of engaging in contract negotiations during the season.
"Even if it wouldn't be a distraction, the last thing I need is to get involved in that during the season," Gomez, whose speed created a half-dozen scoring chances, told The Post. "My focus is to help the team reach the ultimate goal of winning another Stanley Cup.
"It's not the right time to be thinking about a contract."
We know. The Rangers' success in signing core Devils as free agents is spotty, at best. Bruce Driver was merely ordinary as a Ranger. John MacLean scored 28 goals in his first season before Glen Sather - no one knows why to this day - later rode him out of town on a rail. And Bobby Holik's plight was settled a week or so into his first training camp when head coach Bryan Trottier announced that he didn't believe in matching lines.
But Gomez is unique. He's unique because he's a marquee talent in his prime and he's unique because he won't need the Rangers to drive up his price.
Rather, the Blueshirts will need him to accept theirs.

Rangers Must Keep Moving Four-Ward as Philly Flys into Garden
Ten days ago, when the Rangers were in the midst of their long losing streak, losing to the Isles, we noted that despite it all, the much ballyhooed Isles had only just caught them in the standings. Since then, the Rangers played well in a 1-0 loss in Ottawa and then won two straight, while the Isles have lost four in a row to fall behind again. That's how quickly things can turn around these days. At that time, the woeful Flyers were also in the midst of a long losing streak -- ten games. But they bring a three game win streak into the Garden tonight. On the other hand, they do not bring their captain and best player, Peter Forsberg, who is out again with a foot-related injury -- no, not the proverbial hangnail, though with Forsberg it might as well be (see Philly papers here( http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070104/SPORTS04/701040399/1017 ) as well as ESPN.com).
Petr Prucha was scratched when the Rangers last played the Flyers. Now he has three goals in the last two games and says he has regained his confidence. See reports in the Daily News, Journal News, Newsday, and Post -- this was one of those days at the practice rink where all the reporters present were presented with the same story by the Rangers. More notes from practice in the reporters' blogs -- Blueshirts Blog, Rangers Report, and Blue Notes -- among them the bumped (either Pöck or Kaspar by the return of Malik ) and bruised (Tyutin, Rozsival, Cullen ). NYR.com of course has its usual game preview.

Clueless Colie Still a Deer in the Headlights
Colton Orr was suspended five games for an infraction that the referees felt was a minor penalty, while Donald Brashear was suspended for one game for what the referees considered a match penalty for intent to injure, not unlike the sucker punch that ended Jeff Beukeboom's career. All of which confirms what was evident nearly ten years ago when Colin Campbell was fired as coach of the Rangers -- the guy is cluelesss. The coach who put Alexei Kovalev on the fourth line while putting Tim Sweeney in his last NHL season on the first line has not had a sniff for another head coaching job in nearly a decade since his lost his Rangers' job, and here we once again have evidence as to why that is -- Orr's accidental hit to Ovechkin's jaw is five times worse than Brashear's deliberate sucker punch to Aaron Ward during a play stoppage, despite Brashear's history and everything else that he did during this game. Colin Campbell has proven once again that there is one standard for what the other teams can do to the Rangers and another standard for what the Rangers can do in return. Shame on you, Colie.

ORR-IBLE CASE OF HYPOCRISY
January 1, 2007 --
THERE is no doubt that Colton Orr earned the five-game sentence handed down yesterday by NHL VP Colin Campbell for charging 60 feet across the ice to plant his stick across bystander Alex Ovechkin's face with 4:20 to go in the Rangers' throwback 4-1 victory over the Caps at the Garden on Saturday.
The stunt had nothing to do with hockey, nothing to do with toughness, nothing to do with standing up and being counted, even if the winger's heart was and essentially always has been in the right place, talent and boxing limitations, aside.
With that understood, however, the double standard of justice that often seems to apply to incidents involving the Rangers remains a curiosity of the one-time Blueshirt coach's tenure in the league office.
Donald Brashear, an oafish goofball of renown, most certainly could have concussed Aaron Ward when he sucker-punched the defenseman in the face in the immediate aftermath of his third-period bout with People's Champion Brendan Shanahan, and yet received only a one-game suspension for his transgression.
Much more to the point, though, is Campbell's failure to suspend Chris Neil for his leaping forearm to the head of Petr Prucha at 16:25 of the first period Friday night in Ottawa. Neil charged Prucha and then left his feet to deliver the blow that snapped the Rangers winger's head against the glass.
True, Neil did receive a five-minute major, but Campbell's failure to suspend Neil for a dangerous blow to the head is inexplicable, though only slightly more confusing than the league's refusal to address Brendan Witt's unpenalized elbow to Jaromir Jagr's head at the Coliseum on Tuesday. And, come to think of it, no more or less confusing than the league's blind eye to Derian Hatcher's unpenalized elbow to Jagr's head in Philadelphia on Dec. 12.
*
No, the Rangers are not simply rolling over and accepting the disgraceful claim of Sandis Ozolinsh and his agent, Paul Theofanous, that left knee discomfort is preventing the 34-year-old defenseman from accepting his waiver assignment to the AHL Wolf Pack.
The Post has learned that the front office is dispatching Ozolinsh to Colorado to undergo a full examination and evaluation by Dr. William G. Clancy Jr., the orthopedist who performed the reconstructive surgery on the defenseman following last season.
Depending upon the results of the exam, the Rangers will consider filing a grievance or suspending the $2.75M Ozolinsh, who is believed to have first complained about his knee when management insisted he report to Hartford more than a week after he cleared waivers on Dec. 19.

Rangers look to end five-game road winless streak vs. Devils
Jan 01, 2007
NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Rangers' recent road struggles have lasted for more than two weeks. Their problems against the New Jersey Devils on the road have gone on for a lot longer.
The slumping Rangers look to end a five-game skid away from Madison Square Garden, including shutouts in their last two road games, when they travel to Continental Airlines Arena for the first time this season to face the first-place Devils on Tuesday night.
New York ended a season-high seven-game losing streak with a 4-1 home victory over Washington on Saturday, but the Rangers haven't won on the road since Dec. 14. The last four defeats during their skid came away from MSG.
While the Rangers will be looking to end their current road slide Tuesday, they've been unable to find a way to be successful at the Meadowlands for a long time. New York is 3-17-1 in its last 21 visits to Continental Airlines Arena since the start of the 1997-98 season.
The Rangers haven't dropped six straight on the road since a seven-game slide from Dec. 31, 2001-Jan. 17, 2002.
New York, blanked by the New York Islanders and Ottawa in their previous two road games, have not scored in a 151-minute, 43-second stretch of road play. On Tuesday, they'll likely face Martin Brodeur, who has two shutouts in his last three games - all wins.
Brodeur has more victories against the Rangers than any other opponent, going 34-15-0 with 15 ties and a 2.13 goals-against average. He's 23-5 with three ties against New York at home, where he has recorded all six of his shutouts in the series.
Brodeur, third all-time in shutouts with 86, tops the NHL this season with six.
Despite their problems at New Jersey, the Rangers hope to begin a turnaround following their victory over the Capitals. New York's goal total in that game was its highest since its losing streak began Dec. 16.
"It isn't easy when you care about the team and the fans," Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr said. "I was kind of scared. I (just) wanted the losing streak to be over."
New York showed life in areas other than on offense, as forward Brendan Shanahan fought Washington enforcer Donald Brashear in the third period after Brashear took liberties with Jagr.
"When your leaders do things like that, clearly it demonstrates that they're willing to pay any price to win," Rangers coach Tom Renney said. "I think that lends itself nicely to making sure that we don't get ourselves into that kind of streak again."
Henrik Lundqvist is likely to be in net for the Rangers on Tuesday. Lundqvist has allowed fewer than three goals in each of his last three starts, and ended a personal four-game skid by blanking Washington for more than 57 minutes.
The second-year player is 4-0-1 with a 1.78 GAA in five starts against the Devils.
"We have great scorers on this team," Lundqvist said. "We just had to be patient and keep working hard."
New Jersey defeated the Islanders 2-0 on Saturday for its third consecutive victory. The Devils are 5-1-1 in their last seven games.
"It was pretty exciting hockey," New Jersey coach Claude Julien said. "If it were not for the goaltending, it would have been a different outcome."
Brodeur made 29 saves and Patrik Elias scored an empty net goal with 10 seconds left to extend his point streak to six games. He has five goals and five assists in that stretch.
The key for New Jersey over the last seven contests has been special teams. The Devils are 10-for-32 on the power play during that span, while allowing one goal in 25 short-handed situations.
New York, though, has killed off all 14 of its opponents' power plays in the last three games.
The Rangers, who lead the season series with the Devils 2-1, return to the Meadowlands on Jan. 16 for the next meeting.

Colin Campbell Deserves Your Anger ... Again
Colin Campbell's vindictive actions against the
Rangers are so consistent and outrageous that they
are bordering on comical.
The suspensions that he hands out are, in essence,
a court of law. Every decision that he makes sets
a precedent for future actions of all NHL teams.
But since his arrival into office, Campbell has
handed out punishments to the Rangers using new
rationale that is never followed again.
I've ranted about this petty man in this column
since 2002. You can read them in the archives if
you'd like, but here is some history ...
Example: Hits to the Head
Early in 2002, Purinton high sticked Steven Peat to start
a fight, and Igor Ulanov high sticked Konawalchuk.
In both instances, the opposing player was not injured.
Colin Campbell suspended each Ranger player for
seven games.
In his verdict, Campbell wrote, "prior to the start
of the season, all clubs were advised that that there
would be a stricter enforcement regarding illegal
hits to the head."
So using the Ranger suspensions, Campbell's legal
precedent would be two-fold:
- Hits to the head, whether they cause injury or not,
could result in significant suspensions
- Hits to the head that do cause injuries would be
met with suspensions of greater than 7 games
Did this precedent stick for others? Of course not.
- Billy Guerin had received 3 games for a slash that
broke Patrik Stefan's jaw.
- Elbows to the head by Rob Ray and Marchment that
caused concussions? 5 games.
- Varada butt-ended Lindros' eye? Zero games.
Example: Coach Intentions
At the end of a game against the Blue Jackets, Ranger
coach Bryan Trottier (sigh) put Kristof Oliwa,
Sandy McCarthy and Dale Purinton on the ice in a move
that resulted in a brawl, but no injuries.
Colin Campbell suspended Trottier for two games.
In his decision, Campbell wrote that because the coach
used those players at the end of a game that was already
decided, he was responsible for the violence.
So using the Ranger suspensions, Campbell's precedent
would be defined as follows:
- A coach's intent can be used for suspensions
- More serious injuries would meet greater suspensions
Did this precedent stick? Of course not.
- Caps-Thrashers this year. Multiple fights at end of
game. Coaches fined, not suspended
- Others? There are plenty.
Present Day: Colton Orr suspension
Colton Orr high sticks Ovechkin where no injury occurs.
Colin Campbell suspends him for five games.
In his decision, Campbell writes "[Orr's] actions with
his stick were reckless and dangerous. Although no
injury resulted, the action is unacceptable."
So the precedent is that reckless actions can result
in suspensions. So naturally, this means that the
frequent elbows to Jagr's head by goons will be met
with similar punishment.
We all know the answer, so should we laugh or rant?
I can tell you that opposing teams are laughing.
Derian Hatcher, Brendan Witt and Donald Brashear are
sharpening their elbows for future runs at Jaromir Jagr,
chuckling at their good fortune.
It is only a matter of time before Cam Janssens takes
out Jagr with a 50 foot charging elbow.
I'd write that Colin Campbell should be ashamed at his
blatant incompetence and bias. But history has already
proven that the man has no integrity, so what's the point?
Happy hunting NHL. First one to knock off a Ranger player
gets a fruit basket from the league office.

It turns out the Rangers WERE one of six teams to claim Petr Nedved on re-entry waivers from the Flyers, only to lose out to Edmonton, which was lower in the standings (although “lose out” might not be entirely appropriate here). Yes, even to try to go after the 35-year-old Nedved might further irritate those fans who want to see the team give more opportunities to prospects. But seeing how the team would be on the hook for only a quarter of the two-time Ranger’s $2.35 million salary, it wasn’t like they’d be breaking the bank either way. Still, you have to wonder if a guy couldn’t hack it with the last-place Flyers, just how much fuel he’s got left in the tank. So if you don’t like the sound of it, be thankful it didn’t happen.

GOMEZ AT CENTER OF RANGERS' PLANS
January 3, 2007 -- ON a night when the trapping Rangers yielded as little ice as the trapping Devils, Scott Gomez was the lone player on the rink to eat up precious chunks of it, one shift at a time, three strides at a time.
On a night when the Blueshirts converted four of their eight shootout opportunities against Martin Brodeur to defeat the Devils 3-2 at the Meadowlands, one could envision just how much more dangerous the Rangers would be with impending free agent Gomez in their lineup, leading the rush next season and maybe for four or five following that.
Make no mistake. It is irrefutable that the healing Rangers will need Gomez far more than New Jersey's first-line center will need them when he hits the open market on July 1.
In a league in which speed kills more than ever, Gomez is going to get his money, there's no doubt about that. Once Joe Thornton and Vincent Lecavalier signed multi-year deals in the summer of 2005 and Brad Richards signed his max-deal last summer, the class of centers of the Class of '07 was guaranteed to enter a seller's market.
And Gomez, who turned 27 just 10 days ago and will be entering the prime years of a career that began in 1999-2000, is going to be the prime pivot up for auction. If Marc Savard - two years older with a history of attitude issues and who had never played a playoff game - got $20M over four years last summer from the Bruins, the bidding will start at five years and $30M on the two-time Cup-winning Gomez.
Daniel Briere and Chris Drury are both in the final years of their deals with Buffalo, Peter Forsberg will be free - alternate meaning - over the summer and so will both Robert Lang and Pavel Datsyuk. None will be as compatible with the Blueshirts as Gomez, who has won 53 more playoff games than the Rangers (53-0) since he joined the NHL, and who has break-down talent that sets him apart from anyone even close to earning a living on Broadway.
Gomez has always believed himself comparatively underpaid. He went through an arbitration hearing last summer in which he gained an award of $5M. Stranger things may have happened in New Jersey - such as Claude Lemieux coming back four years after filing a grievance against Lou Lamoriello - but the chance of Gomez spurning a shot at the market is essentially non-existent. Certainly No. 23 has no intention of engaging in contract negotiations during the season.
"Even if it wouldn't be a distraction, the last thing I need is to get involved in that during the season," Gomez, whose speed created a half-dozen scoring chances, told The Post. "My focus is to help the team reach the ultimate goal of winning another Stanley Cup.
"It's not the right time to be thinking about a contract."
We know. The Rangers' success in signing core Devils as free agents is spotty, at best. Bruce Driver was merely ordinary as a Ranger. John MacLean scored 28 goals in his first season before Glen Sather - no one knows why to this day - later rode him out of town on a rail. And Bobby Holik's plight was settled a week or so into his first training camp when head coach Bryan Trottier announced that he didn't believe in matching lines.
But Gomez is unique. He's unique because he's a marquee talent in his prime and he's unique because he won't need the Rangers to drive up his price.
Rather, the Blueshirts will need him to accept theirs.

Rangers Must Keep Moving Four-Ward as Philly Flys into Garden
Ten days ago, when the Rangers were in the midst of their long losing streak, losing to the Isles, we noted that despite it all, the much ballyhooed Isles had only just caught them in the standings. Since then, the Rangers played well in a 1-0 loss in Ottawa and then won two straight, while the Isles have lost four in a row to fall behind again. That's how quickly things can turn around these days. At that time, the woeful Flyers were also in the midst of a long losing streak -- ten games. But they bring a three game win streak into the Garden tonight. On the other hand, they do not bring their captain and best player, Peter Forsberg, who is out again with a foot-related injury -- no, not the proverbial hangnail, though with Forsberg it might as well be (see Philly papers here( http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070104/SPORTS04/701040399/1017 ) as well as ESPN.com).
Petr Prucha was scratched when the Rangers last played the Flyers. Now he has three goals in the last two games and says he has regained his confidence. See reports in the Daily News, Journal News, Newsday, and Post -- this was one of those days at the practice rink where all the reporters present were presented with the same story by the Rangers. More notes from practice in the reporters' blogs -- Blueshirts Blog, Rangers Report, and Blue Notes -- among them the bumped (either Pöck or Kaspar by the return of Malik ) and bruised (Tyutin, Rozsival, Cullen ). NYR.com of course has its usual game preview.
