If the Rangers don't let Mark Messier walk and join the Canucks, maybe the Rangers don't have that nightmarish seven year pre-lockout, pre-Henrik stretch where they threw money at every big name?

Not sure how related those things are. Messier actually came back after three years with Vancouver and was part of the seven year non-playoff run.

i didn't know Wozy could still play QB????Mark Sanchez...Kellen Clemens...JAMARCUS RUSSELL...Conan O'Brien,...Paul Wozniak, it's been argued here ad nauseum, it's not about the QB, it's about the TEAM around him!
Sandra
anyway yes i agree. qb is important but at the end of it all its a team sport.I consider this one "play"

Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! :up
For over two decades, Bill Buckner has been the poster boy of the "Murphy's Law" Red Sox.
IMO, Buck wasn't even in the top 5 goats for that miserable October night at Shea.
In no particular order, John McNamara, Calvin Schiraldi, Bob Stanley, Rich Gedman and even Roger Clemens were all more culpable than Billy Buck.
A certain 12 year old was there at Fenway, plotting the Sox rotation against the Royals in the ALCS.......................and then came Bucky Bleepin' Dent :rant:, Reggie Jackson, Lou Piniella and Goose Gossage.
Oh my goodness.

yep. Dallas built their SB dynasty in the 90's courtesy of the Vikes
Yup. Herschel was supposed to be th final piece of the Vikes SB puzzle. Jerry Jones really duped those idiots.
Yup, I have no doubt that the Celtics would have won another title or two if that didn't happen.
Having Bias would have perserved Bird, McHale and Parish more.
Who knows, the Celtics could be up to 20 championships as we speak..........
About that one-game playoff in 1978 that Bill mentioned earlier in the thread:
I did some research on that game. In retrospect, IMHO, a home run that Reggie Jackson hit later on turned out to be perhaps the most crucial hit of the game.
It gave NYY a 5-2 lead before Boston scored twice to make it 5-4.
If not for Reggie, then the game goes to extra innings. Maybe Boston wins, and Dent's homer becomes forgotten.

Yup, that ball that Reggie hit was crushed into the CF bleachers.
But IMO, it was Lou Piniella's play in RF (right in front of me) that saved the game for the Yankees.............
Jimmy Johnson deserves a lot of the credit for the deal, according to Johnson.
