Free Agency Day, 2009: A Quick Recap

Free Agency Day, 2009:  A Quick Recap

As I’m sure you know by now – Marian Gaborik (YYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYY) and Donald Brashear (UGGGGGGGHHHHH) are Rangers, Dany Heatley is not, and most importantly of all, the Shoe has left for the greener pastures of Western Canada.  Here’s a brief synposis of how it all went down yesterday on our boards.  All quotes are the collective Rangerland chorus, unless otherwise noted.

A.M.:  did we get Heatley yet?

12:00 p.m.:  free agency starts!  yay!  it’s Christmas at Rangerland!

12:02 p.m.:  WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WHY HAVEN’T WE SIGNED ANYBODY YET

12:13 p.m.:  Colton Orr to Toronto – $1M/year?!?  ha ha, you can have him Burkie, you suck

2:08 p.m.leedsy: Marian Hossa is going to knock up some chick when he gets to Chicago, that’s like the worst deal ever

2:56 p.m.:  D….D….D….Brashear?!?  OH NOOOOOOOO

2:57 p.m.:  he is the worst human being ever

2:58 p.m.:  he will eat Betts’ children in the locker room

2:59 p.m.:  he is a despicable person and a disgrace to hockey…how will he ever get along with Sean Avery

3:00 p.m.leeedsy: hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaahahahahaha enjoy all of that cap space you freed up by trading Gomez, chumps

3:01 p.m.:  I hate this team

3:02 p.m.:  seriously

3:30 p.m.:  …

4:00 p.m.:  seriously, I fucking hate Brashear

4:30 p.m.:  what the hell is Slats thinking ugh I hate this team

5:00 p.m.:  no signings yet, this isn’t good

5:10 p.m.:  if they don’t sign anyone else we’ll be worse than the Islanders

5:20 p.m.:  henrik will probably fake an injury so he doesn’t have to play for this team

5:32 p.m.:  Cammalleri NOOOOOOOOOOOO (ed. note:  approximately 1.2% of Rangerlanders have ever seen Mike Cammalleri play a game)

5:35 p.m.:  seriously, this is the worst day ever

5:38 p.m.:  I fucking hate this team

6:30 p.m.TSN reports that Chris Neil is contemplating offers from the Rangers, Leafs, and Oilers

6:31 p.m.:  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

6:32 p.m.:  please God no

6:33 p.m.:  we may not score very many goals, but we will lead the league in felonious assaults

6:34 p.m.:  what will Chris Drury and his $35M do now

6:35 p.m.:  because Neil hit Drury once, that’s why I said that

6:45 p.m.:  give us something Slats, Jesus

7:15 p.m.:  we should sign Tanguay

7:20 p.m.Rocha: his favorite movie is Gladiator, he sucks

7:30 p.m.:  Gaborik…..?

7:45 p.m.:  this sucks no UFAs like us and we’re never going to sign anyone

7:50 p.m.:  They should bring back Jagr

7:51 p.m.Mike: :wub:

8:05 p.m.:  ha ha Gaborik’s Wikipedia page says he’s Batman and also a porn star

8:20 p.m.TSN’s Darren Dreger reports that Marian Gaborik has signed with the Rangers for five years, at $5.75M/yr.

8:21 p.m.:  WHAT

8:22 p.m.:  HOLY FUCKING SHIT NO WAY THAT’S AMAZING

8:23 p.m. leedsy: how?

8:24 p.m.:  can’t be

8:25 p.m.: YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY

8:26 p.m.:  he has two surgically repaired hips, so that means he’s going to score like 80 goals even though he has no center to pass to him

8:27 p.m.Rocha: His favorite movie is Wedding Crashers?!?  Mine too!!!

8:28 p.m.Darren Dreger:  oops sorry guys I meant $7.5M, I reversed the 5 and the 7, my bad

8:30 p.m.:  ….

8:31 p.m.:  eh who cares YAAAAAAAYYY Gabby

8:32 p.m. leedsy: even though I have criticized every single thing the Rangers have done in the last 24 hours I am now OK with everything

8:42 p.m.TSN reports that the Canadiens have signed Brian Gionta to a $25M, 5 year contract, and also a lifetime supply of oddly-shaped helmets to fit his oddly-shaped skull

8:43 p.m.:  ha ha, you suck Gainey, and Lou you suck too

9:27 p.m.:  OH NOOOOOOOO our PK is the only thing we’re good at

9:28 p.m.:  and now it will suck and our season is doomed

9:29 p.m.:  yeah especially if Brashear kills Betts in the locker room

9:30 p.m.:  because Shoe and Betts were like the greatest PK duo ever, and that magic can never be replicated

9:32 p.m.:  eh whatever…GABBY

10:00 p.m.:  we can haz Heatley?

10:30 p.m.:  come on, we want Heatley

10:31 p.m.:  because one star forward with the potential to be colossally disappointing is one too few

10:45 p.m.:  come on, Slats…HEATER

11:15: p.m.:  tick tock Murray

11:57 p.m.:  well Heatley is still a Senator…he refused to waive his NTC for a package that included a bunch of crap and Kevin Lowe’s first born child

11:58 p.m.:  because having two hockey-mad Canadian cities hate him already wasn’t enough

11:59 p.m.:  he’ll fit in here, because no one in New York cares about hockey

12:00 a.m.:  …..?
