I don't think anyone expected him to save the day. The Rangers have already exceeded expectations. The point is simply to chat about one of the major challenges for the Rangers. There isn't a lot of wiggle room out there for old small guys, no matter how talented.
there you go, i agree with that for sure.
gee, we don't even expect the twins to play like they did earlier, they are also
starting to show their age, but still very necessary and valuable on a team, maybe they will be a great second line, as some of the 'young' players come in and
make their way to the top line. they will have a much better season this fall.
the l.a., chicago series was so good, the chic./minn series, the same, anaheim/l.a.,the same, and all of the other western battles,the
l.a./san jose series should have been won by san jose, and if that had of happened, they could have
come all this way too, or any of the others, and all of them could be considered the favourites
to win the cup.
but all of that playing does take its toll, so hopefully l.a. comes out flying tomorrow, with fresh
legs and spirit, and doesn't look back.
whoever wins this series, good for them, but i will not criticize the loser, for
they came a long way too, did very well, and they both can't win.
martin st. louis brought with him the spirit of winning, the courage to never let up, and the ability
to keep a team alive to fight with him all the way to the end.
not the ability to fight in the corners, to battle with others over 6'3', but he does have speed, and
he does have strategy, and he is always in the right place, for the play to be made either by him,
or come to him.
calahan did not have st. louis talent, but he had the physical ability to battle, which is important as
well, st. louis was not brought on to the team to replace him, that would be goofy, but its too bad
they couldn't have played together, on the same line, as one would complement the other.
