It was Neil Smith going crazy.
Apparently one of the Avs owners sent Rangers a photo after the Sakic offer sheet. I think it was a photo of Rockefeller flipping the bird:
This made Rangers go after every Avs player they could for a while. I don't think it helped Rangers but I guess they got something out of their system.
Neil Smith slammed Avs during this whole O'Reilly affair, but knowing history who would expect anything else?
Now i understand Neil Smith's reaction , i was like what's going on with him ? Thanks for the info .
