Stammer at 100% will blow you away. If you have NHL gamecenter or access to older games, check out any of the first 16 games this season (actually, probably games 3-16) and you'll see a guy who can challenge Crosby for the world's best player. He was a two-way beast.
But yeah, I get where you're coming from. I don't think I'd be able to be a Rangers fan as long as Sather is in place. And I'm not talking about the Callahan situation -- I actually get where he's coming from there. But the constant acquisition of vets, going back to like Lindros, and then the underperforming of those vets. Maybe that's just from the outside looking in, I don't know. But I can definitely understand how it would be frustrating, and I can also understand why so many Rangers fans were ecstatic with the SCF appearance this year after years of underachieving.
Stammer is one of the reasons Cally signed if you listened to one of his interviews. Cally's numbers have always been above average or solid, but he never had that top elite forward talent to play with. He had Nash who is I'm sorry not Elite, maybe when he was with Columbus but not anymore. He skated with Brad Richards, but not the 2004 Richards like you guys remember.
As per the Rangers organization and fans, they are proud of their SCF appearance, and they should be, last time was 20 years ago, and they have only been in the ECF 3 times since the SCF win in 1994. But it irks me, when they say it was solely because of the MSL trade and they would get eliminated in the first round if Cally was still there.
BTW, You know whats cool and hope it continues? Rangers have a hard time figuring out Bishop. Bishop always seems to take King........... LOL get it?
