Markus Naslund signs with the New York Rangers

[natebohnet]

@cod0master i dare you to say that again now, i do believe they are among the best in the league now... this is the year we win the cup

[assntit]

they're playing the wild not a big surprise he got a hat trick....

[JonasWallOfLove7]

i love markus naslund!

[danynumero6]

Idk about that, they made it into the finals in their 1st year of the league so they werent only good in 2003-2005.

[hardcorecanucksfan]

ahah wtf? no we didnt we came into the league in 1970, 12 years later we made the finals and was swept by the islanders. we do suck.

[theicnerd1]

@hardcorecanucksfan funny how u say "we suck" if your saying that the canucks suck :S i dont think ur canucks fan so dont say we ?, and btw CANUCKS dont suck , CANUCKS are one of the best

[hardcorecanucksfan]

@theicnerd1 dude that was over a year ago buddy .. and on top of that we havn't won a cup .. i am Canucks fan i have been for many many painful years... they are the best now .. but were they last year ? or the year before ? can you tell me when we were the best team ? i cant .

[thechangs]

dang if the canucks had luongo back in 03-05 the cup would have been theres

[AnaheimDucks39]

but then they wouldnt have had bertuzzi

[CDNSMOKEJUMPER]

If we didn't have two goals taken from us we would have had it a lot earlier.

[hjaldemort]

@thechangs Luongo fucking sucks

[ifoundululz]

@thechangs they can have the 2005 stanley cup

[gotmoosey]

what a goal.

[ooglyboogly24]

the canucks will be sorry

long live the canucks from 2003-2005

[cornboy111]

he scored already, so im happy with that =D

[hellbound64]

naslund is one of my favorite players.. sucks that he has to leave vancouver

[venom1096rs]

good pickup by rangers

[arcticleo]

So Nazzy was the first player to score this NHL season. That's a great response to everybody that thought he was a has-been... :-)

[arieltube]

I LOVE NASLUND!!!

[naslundismyhero]

NASLUND IS AMAZIIING

guuna misss yyouu in vancouver =(

[NYRangersFANboy]

There, that is what I wanted to see. I didn't know what kind of player this guy was, but this is a good first impression to me.

[dacrimespot23]

well it looks like you this is your first year of watching hockey then? if you don't who markus naslund is

[NYRangersFANboy]

Well, second, but I mostly concentrated on the New York Rangers though.

[jagrisahomo]

gay

[PilotOfNorway91]

lol...A hockey player is a hockey player until they retire. ;)

[PilotOfNorway91]

You know nothing about him, shut up!

[NHLFan019]

rangers are stacked ! this season as well as the lightning who here agrees?

[LEAFFANFORLIFE]

lol every ofer paid guy in the nhl ends up with the rangers come on redden like 6 mi lmao now naslund 5 mill lmfao

[cornboy111]

its funny cause redden and naslund both scored already for the rangers

perhaps their "overpayment" will go to good use

[cornboy111]

they have been

but hey they also have a lot of younger players too who could do with the veteran leadership, players like dubie and cally and dawes

[TheBeerDrinkinSOB]

welcome to NY

[wyldkatt2005]

If Nedved comes back to the garden i will poke out my eyes to avoid watching him play. He is such a wet blanket!

[t3hg00se]

Nedved didn't sign with the Rangers, he is at the Rangers training camp, and may possibly take a tryout from the team. With the centers we have though, don't expect him to be signed.

[FerociousProductions]

the rangers do pick up has beens but they still have a lot of young talent and could win the cup. And im pissed that they got rid of avery they did so good with him

[tray92]

ever notice how every overpaid has been ends up with the rangers?

They'll never win the cup again

[tray92]

if naslund and morrison didnt go the canucks would still be the worst team in the north west from my point of view. this looks like a step in the right direction.

[Solidstate89]

For everyone writing about how you guys have Kalinin on defense as a good thing....yeah right, don't kid yourselves. I've had to watch this soft as pillows pylon try and defend our goalie for as long as he's been here. He'll have maybe 3 good games a year, the other he's losing the puck for a great scoring chance, and almost sure goal. So you guys have fun with Kalinin and his "defense"...cuz it's complete crap.

[dfhockey92]

the rangers will be worse than they were last year. they dont have jagr, shannahan, straka, tyutin, and hollweg. they picked up an over rated and over paid defensmen in redden and a guy that is way past his prime in naslund. the only good thing they did this summer was getting zherdev.

[ENuckCup]

I watched that game in Mexico and the Canucks fans @ Steves Bar went nuts. Good Luck in NY Markus and if an Eastern team *must* win the Cup - let it be the Rangers.

[legendkyle3]

nah the penguins or the devils rangers suck

[starscape09]

only naslund and drury are former captains.

and not enough followers? that's stupid.

dubinsky,staal,girardi,kalinin­,sjostrom,,fritche,rissmiller.

[noleof10]

i agree. i'm a huge die hard ranger fan but i'm calling a worse year. i call 8th seed. i think devils will win the east or pens. lightning maybe, only if they play stamkos.

[zx7gp]

Ho he lost that wicked snapshot is amazing.He has never been the same since Steve Moore flattened him.Oh well,i got to see him in his best years.

[thekansanpolarbear]

ha

well im betting steve moore will never be the same after big bert got ahold of him

too bad moores best years were nonexistant...

[NarutoCrazy22]

dam! wanted to see he win the cup with the nucks!

[JackFckFilms]

nice play lets go rangers

[legere14]

potential birth of a lost star in New York.

Lets Go Rangers wooo hoooo CUP 2009

[yuriynyr]

shanny is not coming back. naslund most likely will take captaincy if gomez or drury dont.

[TFrankson93]

mo he shouldent he just a kid mitchel should be

[qazswxecerdh]

who cares there defense is still terrible

[starscape09]

rangers defense is terrible? Rangers have a very good defense, and with lundqvist back there it's better

[qazswxecerdh]

there defense is terrible and if they didnt have lundqvist they would stink he is the only reason they will make the playoffs

[Letsgorangers6133]

terrible are you retarded! theyve got one of the best goalies in the nhl in lunqvist and a group of defenseman that can line up with anyone in the league redden,staal,girardi,rosival,k­alinin and mara give me a break

[qazswxecerdh]

i said they had one of the best goalies there defense stinks though the only good one is redden and he isnt half the player he was when he played with chara now he is vastly overpaid

[Naslund19SCORES]

never liked the rangers but now they have nazzy go rangers :P

[Goldeneye415]

i think Drury with get the captaincy, Naslund and Gomez will be alternate captains. Let's go rangers!

[Naslund19SCORES]

yea he will havea good season with rangers and will be rangers player

[mroscoe]

You're a complete moron. 25 goals in the NHL isn't shit, especially when you're playing on a defensive team. Naslund will probably net at least 30 with New York next season.

[ckyskater968]

Dru's got the C

[phille22]

okay, maybe they're better at the moment. let's talk at christmas

[phille22]

you're just jelous because he's better than all finns

[dacrimespot23]

fuck urself ya stupid piece of shit ur pathetic team sucks cock, and go suck ur daddys cock cause u do that well over the years lol asshole

[pauliepass13]

i know and im glad for them to hate me

[Naslund19SCORES]

wow naslund made a great move and i would like to c him where the C in NY go nazzy

[starscape09]

he wont. the rangers wont make him the captain. maybe an A though. drury will be the captain

[Xstr3ngthz]

fuck you markus naslund

[Erathian13]

I like Markus Naslund,but Markus is not Jagr....

[wonderdawg18]

ya u are right he is cheaper and a better team player.

[Erathian13]

Better team player? lol.Cheaper?He should be because Jagr has twice more points :-D Naslund is a good player.Jagr is a legend!

[dh1333]

Rangers fans this isint a good move for the Rangers. paying him 4mill a year for 2 years?

he is gradually getting worse every year.

And i don't see much more talent in New York

then i did in the Canucks last season.

[triniranger91]

what is a canuck

[piratenmedmask]

Suprise, rangers signs a old man over 33 years old?

sarcasm

[rfbctown]

the team you own?

[jamiesuanders]

naslund didn't do much considering he got payed 6 mill and i was a van fan

[Xknyl]

Jagr who takes entire weeks off. Yea right, I'd much rather have the hard working Naslund.

[TheEqualist]

That's the Ranger way of thinking. You guys need it.

[nascar90000]

1. MONTHS not weeks off

2. agree with every thing else

[pauliepass13]

did the rangers get new color for there jerseys becuase i seen a pick and the jersey was light blue and looked nice and i hate the rangers

[starscape09]

no, always the same blue, just looks different in pictures for some reason sometimes.

[RappingDelight]

I don't even like the Canucks.

I didn't know hockey at retard fanboys as well.

[mattcat9]

Naslund...what a player...too bad that sucker punch had to happen with bert or else i think the canucks would have won the cup by now

[TwinsSucks2000]

the way u talk means that ur calling ur bitter team an idiot.... LOL!!!

[appletop12345]

would have been hype if he came to edmonton

[Xstr3ngthz]

fuck naslund u fucking trader

[FZ23]

fuck you naslund hater

[fafaflooey]

Naslund is a whiner just like Jagr but he isn't as talented. Zherdev is a dog who doesn't play every shift and will drive Renney crazy. Redden's best years are behind him and he is way overpaid. The Rags will be lucky to get a 7 or 8 seed.

[JBthree24]

Typical Rangers! Offer huge contracts to players pas their prime...

[toomster0214]

when did this happen?? to replace jagr i dunno if it gonna work being a devil fan i cant wait till october

[killackey69]

the rangers also signed nickoli zherdev wade redden and dmetri kalilin so there in good shape

[Gambino199]

im sorry but if rangers fans think their getting a player that can easily replace jagr when it comes to points they are clearly mistaken. naslund is going downhill and his goals and pts these past few years show it, now he can still provide much needed leadership but finding someone to score and assist like jagr is impossible sorry its a fact, have a fun season blowing a ton of money on under achieving overpaid players and getting bounched in the playoffs again lmao!

[pinayshottie]

at least we replace naslund with PAVOL DEMITRA =)

oh yeah !

[modfon654]

hes way better

[milkweed85]

naslund said his game play was because of poor teamates and lack of talent and thats why he never performed as he should of 2 yrs in a row

[RappingDelight]

Naslund is awesome and you know it.

NYR is a faggot team though.

Therefore Naslund is no longer amazing.

[ReggieRawls]

Rangers Rule Bitch And Naslund is going to kick Whoever Your Favorite Teams' Ass

[Br3nd3n14]

i predict 94 ranger canucks rematch next season.. and the canucks will win the cup...........

[elfisland]

I thought Naslund would retire in the summer but guess not.

[hamiltonhochs]

Just what the rangers needed, another finesse player to skate around looking for loose pucks. The MSG crowds gonna love him.

[Crawford1987]

Naslund is washed up and his stock has gone down the past few years...this was a typical Rangers move. Going for a player past his prime to try to solve their problems. I bet he'll get 20 goals this season at best...maybe 25, because Drury and Gomez are made for the playoffs, not the regular season (hence their point production last season). He wont replace Jagr.

[VisualFixation]

naslund iks supposed to replace jagr. thats hilarious. rangers are gonna suck

[bioniclekid27]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!that freak is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thuunderfan2345]

NONONONONONONONONONO

[phille22]

fuck off you dirty finn

[CaptainMazda]

Hey filthy Swedouche, Naslund has been getting worse every year and the stats prove it. Get over it.

[phille22]

yes, he's been getting worse. what's your point? he's still a good player, and will be better in a different enviroment. you'll wait and see

[GoldDraconian]

Canucks are going to be fun to watch this year.

You know, assuming you're not cheering for them.

Good to see the new GM was able to follow through with his plan to bring in some scoring talent... Naslund and Morrison were both arguably washed up or close to it, but Nolan Baumgartner and Darcy Hordichuk combined won't even make up for one of those losses. Sundin is presumably going to want to play for a contender, and unless a wizard intervenes, Vancouver won't be one.

[OnRockIT]

First of If you're not going to accept 20 million, you're going to retire, second, the Canucks got rid of dead weight.

[MythiZena]

So who will we resign to get the 50 points he got last season? Also...now we need someone else PLUS that 50 point player to become a better team offensively.

[canucks141]

fuck you naslund he wanted to leave the canucks he is a traitor

[krzyfjn07]

he wasn't even offered a contract by the canucks you idiot

[canucks141]

i know you bitch but his comments about the team

[krzyfjn07]

who would want to stay with the team when stupid fans like you keep bashing him, same reason bure left

[canucks141]

just SHUT THE FUCK UP I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY OR THINK STOP BOTHERING MY

[WanderingLostGhost]

Stop ranting

[canucks141]

i did two hours ago

[mitchhedbergrip]

wow great canucks fan there. no appreciation for all he's done for the canucks. in 11 full seasons, his 343 goals and 410 assists wasnt enough for you? You act as if he signed with the oilers or some other real rival. im sure if vancouver really wanted to sign him, they would of, umm, i dont know, offered him a contract.

[canucks141]

naslund sucks his stats are going down each year

[mitchhedbergrip]

so they are going down from really good levels to still pretty damn good levels. face it, if signed with vancouver again you'd love him and wouldnt think that at all. i'd understand the anger if he signed with, i dont know, calgary. he signed with the rangers. 94 was a while ago, get over it, he had a great career for you, be grateful, he will have his number up there, weather he ends his career in vancouver or not

[canucks141]

i was not even alive to see the finals w/ the nucks and rangers plus i hate him cuz of his comments about the canucks

[mitchhedbergrip]

waht exactly did he say? it couldnt have been that bad considering i dont see every single canucks fan ripping him to shreds

[canucks141]

naslund said his game play was because of poor teamates and lack of talent and thats why he never performed as he should of 2 yrs in a row even though he played with the sedins who are the team learders in points

[mitchhedbergrip]

well frankly, look at the canucks offense. its just awful in general. the sedins are good, but they are both playmakers, cant have a bunch of people who are out to set plays up instead of finishing them. not a good combo for naslund, he has done great things for the canucks, but his time there was up, i think any vancouver fan should have saw it coming.

[canucks141]

i know i did they canucks did not want him back we do have lots of young players like raymond

[ENuckCup]

Batting a thousand for errors aren't ya. Stupid fans think he wasn't wanted back. We still haven't replaced his 25 goals/55 points - those players ain't falling off trees. He didn't want to come back b/c we did not get the kind of offensive players July 1st. He made it very clear he wanted to play a style like Detroit and we sure as hell wasn't looking like the Wings July 1

[ENuckCup]

Are you daft? He said nothing of the sort. Go back and listen to the interview, you haven't got a clue. Jesus kid!

[ENuckCup]

That explains it - grow upand then come and talk some sensible hockey talk.

[canucks141]

w/e bitch

[MMLL8844]

because hes getting older...

because he didn't have any other talent along the side of him so how could he do all the work him self?

fuck your self.

[canucks141]

wow were the fuck you come from fuckin go FUCK urself dickhead naslund is washed up

[ENuckCup]

who the hell you talking to there Junior. You said yourself you hadn't been born in 1994 - that makes you what..13 years old? Wash your mouth out with soap and come back when you have a clue about hockey lulzzzzz

[canucks141]

wow w/e what u like 80 or something

[schrockboy]

where did sundin go

[superkid5647isweird]

nowhere yet

[ichang10]
