There is a point when even a true fan, like myself, gets sick and tired of the same old rhetoric. The truth is, I still follow them, up until they get eliminated from the playoffs either statistically or mathematically, but not as fervently as I used to. I got to the point where I wasn't willing to put up the blood and effort it took to follow them religiously when it was obvious that they weren't putting out the same effort I was in rooting for them. At least show me you're trying, then I could take something out of it, but this team QUIT, plain and simple and I can't sit back and root for a bunch of well paid players who don't care. Leetch was my favorite Ranger of all time since Granato, another guy who they traded away for absolutely nothing, Fuck if I had a quarter for every quality player this team has traded away in an effort to fill the garden, not win a championship but fill seats, i wouldn't have to work anymore. Anybody else remember Tony Amonte, Mike Ridley, Dan Cloutier, Niklas Sundstrom????? I just got tired of the bullshit this year, next year I'll be ready for the start of the season with my 3 Rangers jerseys cleaned, pressed and ready for battle.
