Scott Gomez comment
Here's a quote from Scott Gomez, on the Rangers' official website, about why he chose the Rangers:
``New York offered everything -- the city, the atmosphere, everything you would want," said Gomez. "But most of all I think this team is ready to win, you can just feel the buzz around them and that starts with the goaltending, I think. Playing against them they just have so much confidence. Out of the other teams I felt like this was the place I could win in.''

Jill Painter joined the Daily News in 2000 and during the last eight years she's covered the Dodgers, Cal State Northridge, UCLA, Kings, golf and everything in between. Even though she's from Colorado, she still freezes in the Staples Center press box but always manages to thaw her fingers in time to make deadline. E-mail Jill at 

I just find this hard to believe. I understand the excitement of the big city, it being New York and all, but I just can't see the logic in this. All I see is the Rangers history of wild spending over the last 10 years only to miss the playoffs most of those years. Their only Cup win was *before* they started this rampage of FA over-signing.
I guess players equate big, stupid spending with the ability to win. I just don't see it.
*sigh*
can we still sign him as a gm?
You got to admit they got it going on in goal in NY. I can see guys passing on Cloutier in goal and Modry on D
Ok- I can live with that. As a life long Kings fan if I had the choice money being equal I'd pick NY. If you've got millions and your a high profile athlete NY is the place. You've got history, media attention and city atmosphere.
