Comments on: Worthy http://www.myblueshirtheaven.com/2007/11/09/worthy/ If Anna Quindlen wrote about New York Rangers Hockey, maybe it would read like this blog. Some facts, some emotion and some common sense for Ranger fans from a heart that's True Blue.

Too many people look at regular season statistics to determine whether a player is HOF-worthy. This is pure amateurism when evaluating a player's credentials. It's all about the Cup and this guy was among the most dominant playoff guys of his or any other era. He created more room on the ice for his linemates than the view of the horizon of his hometown of Regina. Eric "Big Pussy" Lindros didn't, at least when it really counted. Sorry.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4328','Rich in Vermont'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4328','Rich in Vermont','Here\'s why Gillies is in the Hall:\r\n\r\n4 rings - none of which any Islander would have won had Mr. Gillies not been on the roster.\r\n\r\nToo many people look at regular season statistics to determine whether a player is HOF-worthy.

4 rings – none of which any Islander would have won had Mr. Gillies not been on the roster.

Too many people look at regular season statistics to determine whether a player is HOF-worthy. This is pure amateurism when evaluating a player’s credentials.

It’s all about the Cup and this guy was among the most dominant playoff guys of his or any other era. He created more room on the ice for his linemates than the view of the horizon of his hometown of Regina.

Eric “Big Pussy” Lindros didn’t, at least when it really counted. Sorry.

I am sorry if it offended you. It was said in heated rant. I thought the situation with Lundqvist's stick on the train was a priceless opportunity for some "creative" license, albeit slightly risque.

As for your sentiments on Scott Stevens, I have long felt that he was a headhunter who tried to injure players but was always given the benefit of being called "tough". Switching gears for a moment, I have to ask what is going on with this blog lately? While I know you are a passionate Rangers fan, I think the use of a certain word to describe Clarke while applicable is a mistake. We know Clarke has NO class but to use that word lowers your blog to his level. I also felt your blog on Henrik's "tool" was another example of disregarding your usual class to go for a lame joke. Do not get me wrong, I ALWAYS look forward to reading what you have to say but I was honestly surprised to see you write like a Flyers or Piles fan would. Keep up the usual GREAT job and LET'S GO RANGERS!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4187','Section 423'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4187','Section 423','M, the Lindros debate reminds me of the debate over whether or not Don Mattingly is a HOF worthy player.
