The Greatest Versus promo EVER...... I'm not even a Red Wing fan and I get goose bumps watching this.

That which you described is good old-time hockey!!

That's pretty weak. He looks like a little twerp, by the way.

I didn't see this posted yet. Sorry if this is a repost. MESSIER'S BACK! CAPTAIN TAKES RANGERS FRONT-OFFICE JOB The Captain is back. As an apprentice. Mark Messier is rejoining the Rangers' organization as special assistant to club president Glen Sather, The Post has learned. It will mark Messier's first job in hockey -- and first full-time job, period -- since he ended his playing career following the 2003-04 season. "I couldn't be more thrilled with the opportunity to move back to New York with my family, to learn from Glen and to work for the Rangers," Messier said yesterday by phone from the Bahamas. "I'm going to come in and get my feet wet and get an overview of how the business runs and how the team runs and take it from there." This move should not be interpreted as Sather hiring his successor. Messier is not the heir apparent. Rather, he is assuming the same type of apprentice position that contemporaries such as Steve Yzerman (Detroit), Cam Neely (Boston) and Al MacInnis (St. Louis) have assumed with their respective franchises. "While I believe I have a lot to offer, I know I have a lot to learn about the management and business side of the sport," Messier said. "From the hockey side, I'm going to try and get a feel for the players we have under contract, the depth of our organization, the operation in [AHL] Hartford. "I'll be going to Traverse City [Mich.] for the prospects tournament and then I'll be at camp, ready to do whatever Glen and the organization need from me, whether it's watching the Rangers or scouting other camps. I'm wide open and willing to do anything and everything." Full Story

What an idiot this kid is. It's embarrassing to the nhl, that's for sure. Yet, Bettman treatsSean Avery as if he's a plague on this league. What a joke. Kane should be banished from the league.

That lowlife organization deserves it.

The next Original Six Stanley Cup Final would be the first one since '79 and the Rangers were in it versus Montreal. I hope the next one is the Rangers/Wings.

I know. I was underscoring your point.

Oh, tell us about it. We aren't fans of our management, either. LOL!!

That's exactly the point. The so-called "face of the NHL" has awful sportsmanship and he shows it just about every game he plays. He is TERRIBLE for this sport.

^ Copy that from another Ranger fan here. The Wings got hosed and that isn't different from every other team that plays the Pets.

Being he was captain, it was his job to be first in line in the handshake line, I think.

Sorry, but I'm not a Red Wings fan, just a fan of the game overall and I am disgusted.

Crosby is a low-life <censored> Especially after a WIN to show no respect is just inexcusable. I can't believe he did this. This sport is taking a bad turn with this creep/punk being the face for it.

How niiiiice! You Pets fans make me warm and fuzzy all over.

Wow! I joined that site a while ago and haven't been there lately. They really improved it in there. Looks great!!

Whatever "_____ sucks" chant the Pets get, they deserve it. I'm so sick of the way they can't take it when the game doesn't go their way. Malkin or Crosby will seriously hurt someone one day and we all know there will be no suspension. I hope they NEVER skate with the Stanley Cup. I've also had it with the blatant favoritism of the Pets by the stupid nhl.

If he was in it for the money, he would have already taken the 20 mil from the Canucks. The Rangers don't have anywhere near that available to him but he is waiting for them to clear cap space.

You are correct. He whines after every whistle which is why they named him the captain. As for Malkin, good for AO for hating on him. Malkin is a dirty player. I can't respect a player that repeatedly slewfoots anyone.

I think Hatcher won a cup with Dallas, right? I'm too lazy to check.

I say Bertuzzi. I never want to see him win a cup.

Congrats, again everyone. I didn't see this thead but posted congrats in a couple of other threads. It was great to see an original 6 team win instead of a non hockey city like it has been the last few years.
