Rangers Unload Gomez

And they said it couldn't be done folks! For the first time in the history of New York professional sports, a team actually manages to trade away an over-payed and under-achieving disaster. Now, I know what you're thinking. V, how hard is it to get rid of a 5'8'' forward who cannot score? Well, apparently not that hard. So who's the lucky bride? None other than the Montreal Canadians. Ah, Montreal! Home of Molson beer, syphilis, and the Napoleonic complex. But before we stoplaughing at the Canadians (eh), we must remember that the team single-handedly resurrected Alex Kovalev's career (who couldn't score for to save his life for the Broadway Blueshirts)

As for the Rangers, what can I say? They received three former first-round draft picks and a few Celine Dion records (retail price: are you kidding me dollars). For those of us who are not well acquainted with the draft, or rather the young prospects process, let me clue you in. A team that is willing to give up 2002, 2006, and 2007 first-round picks (the best round) for a player on the down side of his career making $6.25 million/year (mind bottling salary for the NHL), has likley given up on those prospects. And by given up, I mean they either suck right now, or have no alternative but to suck in the future. I'm speechless. Let us go Rangers!

Bud light salutes...Mr. Cablevision-employed General Manager of a Professional Sports Franchise. "They say in that in the business world there are no sure bets. Well, not for you Mr. Cablevision-employed General Manager of a Professional Sports Franchise. It is an absolute certainty that with your BA in sports-R-cool, no managerial experience, and total lack of common sense, you will take us all down into the bottomless pit of mediocrity. Indeed, managing a professional sports franchise is, like, really, really hard. But not for someone with unlimited resources and a crushing case of illiteracy. They say that those who cannot play the game, manage it...and those who cannot manage it...manage the New York Knicks and New York Rangers. So here's to you Mr. Cablevision-employed General Manager of a Professional Sports Franchise...for without you...we would be LEGENDARY."

Chorus: Mr. Cablevision-employed General Manager of a Professional Sports Franchiiiiiiiiiissssseeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
