About the New York Rangers' Retiring Mood
Congratulations to Brian Leetch on the retirement of his Number 2 by the New York Rangers. In an era when all too many numbers are being celebrated,this is an honor most well deserved.
Congratulations as well to Adam Graves. He will be the next one to have his number (9) retired by the Rangers.
Once done, his number will join the likes of Rod Gilbert, Ed Giacomin, Mark Messier, and Mike Richter, as well as Brian Leetch.
At the same time, seeing Harry Howell at the Leetch ceremony got us to thinking. Howell, a Norris Trophy winner and former Ranger captain is as good as there ever was.
His number (3) should be there too.
And while we're at it, Ranger history did not start in the late 1960's. How about the likes of the Patricks, the Cook Brothers, Andy Bathgate, Charlie Raynor or even Gump Worsley.
If you're going to put Adam Graves in there (a good choice), well, there are many others spanning the decades who should be there too. Their fans are no longer around dishing over dollars to MSG for season tickets, but that should not diminish the accomplishments of these old time heroes nor prevent them from be honored appropriately.

New York Rangers are looking forward to return to glory of the Stanley cup finals. For this aim they’ve brought new players such as Chris Drury and Scott Gomez. In their early games of this season, the guys have proved that they have strength and ability to do well in this season. However, there's a long way still waiting for them to reach their goal. But day after day Rangers' fans are increasing due to the remarkable improvement in their results.
If you're one of those fans or you've just decided to be and you want their Tickets. There's an interesting website, which I use all the time, and really they have cheap tickets for Rangers' games and more. Here's the link:

Anyway, I wish the new comers will bring good luck to Rangers!!!
