At the end of last night's loss to the Sabers, New York Rangers fans gave team captain Mark Messier a standing ovation. The fans at The Garden clearly thought that it might have been Mess's last game as a Ranger. During the game, he scored his 18th goal of the season, but the Rangers lost anyway. In the post-game press conference, Messier did not confirm or deny that this was his last home game as a Ranger.
It's sad to see Messier end his 25 year career on a team that is such a mess (cough, cough, pun intended), because Messier deserves better. Alas, Gothamist has no thoughts on how to fix the Rangers. They just spend, spend, spend, but they haven't made the playoffs in 7 years. Maybe it's that whole Cablevision ownership thing.

This is sad, sad news, as Mark Messier really brought life to the Rangers. He's been a clutch player and a great leader. While his former teammate (on the Oilers and Rangers) Wayne Gretzky gets a lot of the glory, Messier was actually able to lead his post-Oilers team to a Stanley Cup championship, putting to rest the curse. He will be missed.

I saw the Rangers destroy the Cap's when I was in highschool. One of the best hockey games I have ever seen, actually. The Rangers have always been a good team and will come back, just give them time.
he's only 4 years too late in doing this.
his career should have ended before he ditched the rangers to go to the canucks for more money in 99...
mess is a classy guy - had the pleasure of meeting him in person the year the rangers won the cup & msg hosted the all-star game
a very down-to-earth, genuine guy as most hockey people i've met have been
wish him the best in his future endeavors
as for the rangers, they've proven once again that you can't just buy a bunch of veteran players and throw them all together & assume that team chemistry will work
it's been quite the opposite the past seven years
it appears they're finally getting the message
let's hope the recent going out of business sale that unloaded a lot of high-priced talent brought in some younger players who can help this sorry franchise turn around sooner rather than later

Not much on my mind. I don't care. I've just been letting everything happen without me , but shrug. Whatever. I feel like a void.
I haven't been up to much lately. I've basically been doing nothing , but it's not important. I can't be bothered with anything recently. I've just been letting everything happen without me lately.
