Great article. Him and Tyutin are kind the forefathers of the youth movement and first generation of young players the Rangers had even before Prucha/Betts/Hollweg/etc.
I remember the game he came back in 06-07 against Boston back when the Bruins were really struggling. It was on VS and they had him mic'd up, and him and Tyutin were head banging to that awful POD song Youth Of A Nation during warmups I think he had 3 points that game.
Hockey players do some crazy things to play. Remember when Rem Murray had a neck issue and gave up his insurance just to play the 05-06 season? He got so close to a Cup.
For a minute I thought I was at that game, but that one was away.
He actually played against the Bruins a few games before that and scored on a penalty shot, which was his only goal for almost the entire season.
