What a 'pop' he got at the announcement. A gentleman and a warrior. His kind in the league is sorely missing from today's game. If everyone played as honestly as 'Gravy' did, you wouldn't need these endless, GM meetings discussing how to neuter an already neutered league.
this brought tears to my eyes. im a huge Sabres fan, but i grew up with new York being 30 mins away. i love the rangers as well, and Il never forget seeing this.
@julesjewels10 I agree it was a tame reaction,probably shock but lets face it, Graves is not the kind of guy to steal someones else's moment. and this was Lettch's night
Guys just ignore ghytgb, he obviously cares more about hating the rangers than cheering for his own team because he practically comments on every single rangers video.......and his "empty rafters" crap, he just doesn't seem to realize that there are banners at MSG. Yes, we can admit that the devils have had success recently.....but they're still at the bottom in ticket sales every season. Shows how much they care.....
@NYRangersfan26 I love how he mocks Graves jersey being retired, yet roots for a team that raised Ken Daneyko's drunk ass into the rafters. That fucking alcoholic. Talk about guys who weren't that good.
I'm sure his reply will be, "BUT HE WON 3 CUPS!" So I guess Sergei Brylin is next in line?
LOL @ any team that would retire that drunken prick bastards useless jersey up into the rafters.
@SeanAveryBroadway Yeah lol he's trying to say that Graves didn't score that much after '94.....well Daneyko and Stevens hardly ever scored in their careers, so that alone is a contradiction haha
In the end though, he's not worth our time, he's an embarrassment to the devils fans because he's probably watched more rangers videos than devils videos. That's proof of his jealousy lol
graves wasnt good huh in 92- 26goals in 93- 36 goals in 94 52 goals by the way crosby yet to pass 52 goals in a season 95- 22 goals 96 36 goals in 98 23 goals in 99 38 goals now thats 4 seasons 30+ goals and 8 seasons with 20+ goals now thats not a below average player im sorry he was a work horse who played in the dirty areas and look at what kinda player it took to break that rangers record of 52 goals a season jagr with 54 jagr whos considered elite stop stat counting please casue its stupid
all i have to say is that richter messier leetch and graves are new yorks fantasic 4 messier greatest captain to ever play the game second all time points behind gretzky richter best american born goalie to eever play and in my opinion best goalie rangers ever had leetch best american born defensman to ever play in the nhl and second best behind orr to ever play graves the tuffest son of a bitch to ever put on a rangeers jersey thats right tuffest love these guys ny loves you forever ur a ranger
Question: How many 1990s Dynasty Oiler members and 1992 Cup Final Blackhawk members did it take to win the Cup for N.Y. in 1994? Answer: 14! - that is the equivalant of 2 coaches -2 forward lines and 3 defensive pairings. Now add Richter - Leetch - Kovelev - Zubov - Nemchinov - Kyprios and Karpotsov and you have your 1994 N.Y. OILERS / HAWKS TEAM!
To ghytgb---Ed Giacomin wasn't even given the honor of being traded away---he was put on waivers, to be claimed by the Red Wings. Rangers got nothing in return.
that's right the rangers let him go when they could have kept him! what was stopping the rangers from keeping him! NOTHING! that's simply how it goes in N.Y. - They could care less about hockey and basketball and the proof is right up there as you look up to the gardens rafters! EMPTY RAFTERS - EMPTY RAFTERS - EMPTY RAFTERS!
imagine being messier. no team in the league wanted him after he led the canucks out of the p-offs 3 straight yrs. N.Y. brings him back after they felt he was washed up and he proved he was washed up by leading the rangers out of the p-offs in his last 3 yrs in N.Y. - instead of bowing out gracfully he hung around 7 yrs to long to set personal records. if that's not selfish i don't know what is. he was a great player when playing on a great oiler team and a great golfer when playing in N.Y.
Adam "Corky" Graves gets his number retired! yet another ranger with their # retired that the rangers organization felt had to be traded away. richter and gilbert are the only 2 rangers (with retired numbers) that were not traded away.
he played in an era of old men. he wasn't all that great. he was just another decent d-man. hang his number upside down or for once in a blue moon HANG A BANNER IN NEW YORK!
as a lifelong ranger fan and season ticket holder i was honored to be at msg on this wonderful night. i always thought adams number should be retired but didn't think it would happen when leetchy made the announcement i had tears in my eyes
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what a joke! graves opened the door for just about any player # to be retired. anyone can put together a 5 min high light clip on any player. some people say his number was retired for what he did off the ice. how vain is that to be honored for being charitable the way millions of people do. as if he's the only giving person in the league!
its ok ill look up at the greatest arena in all of sports to see the jerseys. that 1994 team meant more and faced more adversity then any of those oiler teams did.
Gravvy didn't hijack the organization the way that scumbags like Bryan Trottier et. al did to get a stipend payday to stand there and hear the cheers when they should have been cheering the fans...
why do the rangers organization praise these players by hanging their numbers but as players they were all traded away with the exception of gilbert and richter. were you talking about the 500 goal scoring bryan trottier? yeah i guess it would be odd to cheer for him. it's not like he led his team to the golf course 5 times like "the messiah"! what a joke! and graves had his # hung for what he did off the ice. how totally fucking low is that! -- look at me - look at me - i'm a good person too!
Al Trotts did off the ice during his hey-day keeping a pseudo-low profile was wear a full length mink coat while he he cheated on his wife getting blowfobs from Isles fans like yourself in the parking lot behind the old Mona Lisa Restaurant...
real pussy way to back out of the arguement. it's really very easy to call names. watch. i hear your boyfriend rubs his balls across your face like a zamboni while you yell "icing". see how easy that is. PUSSY BOY.
NO IT'S A FACT.. =Trottier sat at table 4 in the corner of the old Mona Lisa restaurant while he dated & fucked some gal no named mrs. trottier...your cumback is worse than your cumback...you have nothing so try and fuck yourself...
Im not even a rangers fan and I agree.. any hockey fan even if they hate rangers could say that graves was a great hockey player with a big heart who helped his team.
@NYRangersFan94 Graves was just another player but was a fan favorite that was popular only because he bragged about giving money to charities. He was a 10 to 20 goals a yr scorer after the 1994 OILERS broke up. MSG = Messier Swallows Graves!
@ghytgb i love stat couters if thats the case gretzky never won a cup after he left oilers but he has 5 rings graves type of play put alot of stress on the body fuckers forget he had major back surgery after right after the 94 win and was never able to play the same way stop stat counting its so fucking stupid stop hating a guy who played his heart out and gave his heart to sick children no player has ever done what graves did for the sick and still does famouse for charity hes famouse for 4cups
@MegaMma4life - Gretzky never won 5 cups! he won 4! -- a lot of people help the sick but they don't get a banner hung up at MSG for it! -- #9 what a joke!
hey bitch u dont see ranger fans hating on danyeko do u? he wasnt a great player but a solid player who is a great guy like graves and was a true devil which is a big reason y his jersey was raised... y do u have to hate on a great guy like graves and be so ignorant?
funny how you see dano every night at the devil gms and graves on the other hand is where he really wants to be. CANADA! seems like the ranger brass can't find a spot for this special person. i went to trenton last week for an award ceromony for brodeur and guess who was right there. Dano! he was also outside signing autographs at gms 1 - 2 - 4 - 5 - 7. i don't recall seeing graves at any of the rangers playoff games. hmm strange!
well considering he works for MSG i would think that he would be at all the devil games (funny how the devils play on MSG) and graves does more important things then just go to ranger games like working with the community and staying home with his wife and kids.... i will admit graves as a player alone probably isnt on par with leetch, messier, and gilbert but how he handled himself as a player and a person was what put him over the top... "respect" a word this devil fan does not understand
i'm sure there are a lot of people that do nice things in this world but don't expect a banner with their name to be hung for it. you said it, not me. so it's obvious that howell and bathgate aren't respected by the fans. what a horror show that was! there must've been about 2,000 fans attending that joke! the truth is that there is nothing going on with hockey in N.Y. so to get the fans excited they hang a sweater. we're just one banner away from tieing the rangers with 60 yrs in hand.
we hang banners you hang sweaters. the devils have hung 15 since entering the league in 1982 compared to the rangers 5. out of the 8 ny rangers retired numbers six of them were traded away.
giacomin - leetch - graves - messier - howell - bathgate! if you were a real fan you would've known that! we would never trad marty - stevens - dano. we're just more respectful to our players in N.J. -- it took N.Y.R. over 50 yrs to hang a number and they only had two hung over a 75 year period! what a joke!
Leetch, Graves, Richter and Messier were Gods. We will never see their like again. They came close a couple years ago with Jagr, Nylander Straka and Henrik. Now its all on the Kings heavy shoulders.
I never said it was a bad thing. I for one appreciate men showing their emotions. I think it shows a lot about who they really are. My wife in particular likes that about me. Next time please don't assume that what I said was negative. Messier was always one of my favorite players. The fact he wears his emotions on his sleeve proves what a real leader he truly was and still is.
i cant wait for graves night, but it sucks because they are playing the thrashers, you think that they would play a rival like the pens or the islanders
One of the true great people in this world, was a good hockey player, and is hall of fame human being. It puts tears in my eyes,thank god for you adam,your everything a person should be, God bless Adam Graves.
@nyrgamer stick a sock in it you fucking dip shit! he was a below average player that bragged about giving money to charities! If you get your # retired for that than everyone should brag about the money that is given away from their 4 million dollar paychecks. Graves = nothing after the 1994 N.Y. OILERS broke up!
@ghytgb wow below average player huh how many cup rings does he have ????? wow what did he do after 94 huh what did gretzky do after he left oilers ???????? thats really stupid thing to say i mean come on now i sence your jeliouse that a great man and a great player got wat he deserved rangers never would have won in 94 if it wasnt for adam graves so you are really just retarded go watch tennis
IT never ceases to amaze me how childish people can be. No one cares that you like the Islanders, or the Oilers, or whatever. This is not a discussion forum for that.
Well, he also played on Detroit,Edmonton,San Jose, but I got u. He will always be remembered as a Ranger & I hope Im at the Garden next season when his # goes up!
I met Adam Graves when he was with the Sharks. Total class act, the nicest famous guy I've met. He was actually interested in talking to me. This is a great honor for a great man!
yeah I met him too, he's definitely got to be the nicest pro athlete ever, the complete opposite of a guy like Marbury who I also met and was an unbelievable douche
the rangers are the best team leetch and messier they were the best players on the rangers and lindros and adam graves were the best players in the nhl hockey so nobody makes fun of the rangers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they are the best
More than Messier or even Richter or Leetch, Adam Graves deserves his number to be hanging from the Garden rafters. No one played with more heart and no one understood more than he that as Herb Brooks used to say you play for the name on the front of the sweater not the name on the back. Good for him. It should have happened sooner.
i am so thrilled to see adam graves number retired..i have never had a chance to meet one of my favorite all time rangers but i know from people who have met him what a sweet and classy man he is..richly deserving..way to go gravey..we love you..
gravey's reaction is priceless lol. so glad he gets his opportunity. i was kinda worried since bure took the number 9 before and all. but like leetch said.. well deserved
that is amazing...graves is awesome and for leetch to take time out of his special night just speaks volumes of the kind of guy he is...i get chills everytime i hear him announce it and see graves' face
I thought JD showed great class coming in for the ceremony, sitting in the stands and not making a scene for himself. there will always be a part of JD that remains a Ranger. Changing jobs can't or won't change that.
oh man..that entire stanley cup team should have their numbers retired..then again, what numbers would they use for current players. HALL OF FAMERS!!!
my two fav Rangers!! ☺

Next time please don't assume that what I said was negative. Messier was always one of my favorite players. The fact he wears his emotions on his sleeve proves what a real leader he truly was and still is.

@nyrgamer stick a sock in it you fucking dip shit! he was a below average player that bragged about giving money to charities! If you get your # retired for that than everyone should brag about the money that is given away from their 4 million dollar paychecks. Graves = nothing after the 1994 N.Y. OILERS broke up!

IT never ceases to amaze me how childish people can be. No one cares that you like the Islanders, or the Oilers, or whatever. This is not a discussion forum for that.

A great way to make up for letting Pavel Bure wear his #. That was a disgrace. Graves makes you proud to be a Ranger fan. the best!!!

You bet. it'll be a good trivia question someday as to who was the last Ranger to wear #9. Your point is spot on, though.

njd2766 4 years ago
More than Messier or even Richter or Leetch, Adam Graves deserves his number to be hanging from the Garden rafters. No one played with more heart and no one understood more than he that as Herb Brooks used to say you play for the name on the front of the sweater not the name on the back. Good for him. It should have happened sooner.

I thought JD showed great class coming in for the ceremony, sitting in the stands and not making a scene for himself. there will always be a part of JD that remains a Ranger. Changing jobs can't or won't change that.
