Kovalev and rivet to colorado for barnaby and selane...

Kovalev would fit in very nicely with the Avs and selane would fit nice with koivu Zednik and barnaby rocks...

Pathetic......

The only word that can decribe Bertuzzi, Crawford and that whole franchise in Vancouver. This move by Bertuzzi while he and his team are having their ASSES HANDED TO THEM 8-2 is typical of Marc Crawford and his whole pathetic attempt to run that team. He has no class at all, especially when he comes out at the press conference afterwards and says how badly he and Bertuzzi feel, and how worried they are about Steve Moore..... Canucks fans.... how does this make you feel? I hope they are proud down in Vancouver tonight, they got the blood they felt they needed.... good job getting your asses kicked 9-2 by the way...

the trade: good move by both teams, no way to know if Barnaby will do anything or if Lacroix is done, but you can't hate this trade no matter how hard you try.

CONGRATS To Todd Bertuzzi.... You are now in the same category as Marty McSorley....

-out

Bertuzzi gets 8 games in my mind. How many did Domi get for the elbow on Niedermayer??? This was worse then that, everyone knew what he was doing it for. This is what makes me dislike the Canucks, and I said this at the start of the season. They can’t take a hit! When the Oilers played them(2nd game of the season for both teams), the Canucks tried to fight literally every Oiler that made a hit, and they were clean hits. Moore’s hit on Naslund was clean, it’s a shame that Naslund slipped a little and Moore got him in the head, but that’s what happend. The guy did throw an elbow against his head while he was pinned on the boards, he followed with his shoulder….a clean hit! This is disgraceful and if the league REALLY wants to send a message to the Canucks and Bertuzzi, you suspend this guy for the remainder of the season and the playoffs, but the most drastic it will be is the rest of the season. What a shame. Canuck fans, I kind of understand wanting to protect your Captain, but this went way too far.

Any one see the Avs game tonight?Bertuzzi deserves to be suspended and beat down for what he did to that kid.

I thought Granato was going to kill Crawford, and I do not blame him.

Bertuzzi could have broken Moore's neck.

rebuilding the rangers will take more than 2years. But I'm 100% sure its gonna be worth it.

They already have a head start with all those prospects and picks...

I hope nothing like that happens to my team though (philly), they got a pretty good system, I doubt they'll have to clear everything out for youngsters...

I personnaly dont see why the attendance at NYR games would go down, fans have always been behind that team, I dont think its gonna change... Its not like they are gonna suck ass like Pittsburgh or anything... they surely wont be fighting for a playoff spot but they'll be getting closer and closer every year...

My prediction is 3years tops and the Rangers will be in the playoff picture again...

Im a Ranger fan who is happy that the team is rebuilding, its about time. Lord knows we lost enough when we were trying to win, and we missed 7 years already. We could accept 2 or so years more not in the playoffs, if we could become a legit threat again. Every team needs to rebuild sometimes.

But there will be Ranger fans who will be pissed off by this, but come on. We had the highest or 2nd highest payroll and still did not make it this year. We lost with guys like Leetch Messier and Barnaby we could lose without them, and have a shot at winning the NHL lottery. Now that would be sweet.

TSN has reported that the New York Rangers have traded forward Matthew Barnaby and a 3rd round pick in 2004 to the Colorado Avalanche for Chris McAllister, David Liffiton and a 2nd round pick.

Good deal for Rangers considering that Barnaby will be back as an UFA
