Iginla was the first star in the Calgary-Vancouver game scoring his 8th goal in the last 6 games. He’s nearly back to last year’s level and his trade value increases. The Rangers have little chance and I wouldn’t trade him for Gagne, Williams, Woywitka and Seidenberg. While Pitkanen is clearly a stud defenseman it’s forwards the Flames need. Aside from Gagne the Flyers don’t really have the young, established forwards that aren’t too expensive yet.

Based on the Kovalev deal, maybe Slats will get Iginla for Ron Duguay, Eddie Giacomin, Jean Ratelle and Ron Greschner.

Tell me you are a Leafs fan or a fan of some other team that hasn’t won a cup in 10yrs so I can excuse your jealousy. Hate the game not the player. You can’t blame the Rangers for seeing opportunities to attempt to make their team better and going for them. You wish your team could do that. Although the Rangers haven’t made the playoffs in 5 years, I saw them win a cup and I can deal with the hard times. They will get better. Hang in there Mikster.

I guarantee you that if Canada is hit with a terrorist attack it will be on a powerplant that sends energy to the US or some other target of American interest. And we will be very humble in realizing that we are partly to blame. We will also not have the choice of dealing with it in our own way. Uncle Sam will reply without our consent.

But it doesn’t. Never has. Never will. the Rangers’ healthy payroll this year is about average with the rest of the teams in the NHL. So once again, your gripe has no merit.

Protecting us from whom exactly? I would love to hear one instance when America has ever done anything altruistic towards Canada.

The other topics are theories... however the US government has released documents that between 1955 and 1975 they conducted an average of 20 biological tests per year on US populations in LA, NY, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco... if you are really interested in knowing the truth I will send you the links.

BTW, funny you mention Atlantis since I'm sure you probably beleive in Noah and that antediluvial civilization....

Canadians will always be nice to Americans b/c you are generally nice people... it's your government and your media that the rest of the world doesn't trust.

You have just provided definitive evidence why the Rangers suck. More money SHOULD mean more depth.

I’d post links but they aren’t to any hockey sources…

It doesnt matter if this happens or not. In a year and half there will either be a new CBA which will include a salary cap or the league will fold. This means that the ranger$ will pretty much be screwed for the duration of their guaranteed contracts. Its actually quite fitting. All these years many ranger$ fans have been saying they MUST start building from within and in a year and a half they will have no choice. AND NO MIKSTER, the idea of a 60 million dollar cap the first year and slowly bringing it down to around 35-40 doesnt fly. the other 25 nhl teams or so with 40 million or less payrolls would be hurt by that and thus keep the problem going even longer.

If a cap isnt put in place im done with the sport. Its a bore to watch as it is.
