...with players bolting overseas left and right, it's refreshing to see our guys would rather stick together and work to get better as a team.
...now all this might change as the lockout drags on and the season looks to be in jeopardy.

@TheNYRBlog @BRichards_1991 he si only stayng on town becasue of @ErinAndrews . #stupidmove go play hockey! u clearly are lazy
@TheNYRBlog @BRichards_1991 no. he's stricking around becasu of his g/f erin andrews. he went to russia the last lockout admit it Brad!
Our guys would...new guys not so much. Rumor is Nash is on his way to Europe. I said I didn't want him and now I can prove why. Maybe I'm being ridiculous but I'm pissed.
@TheNYRBlog in other news, you can crap your pants and feel good about the team doing that, but no formal talks once again. #allfornaught
@AmoriZep Can we get Brad Richards to be the PJ Stock of the US then? Or Clay Matthews/Wes Welker on ice then?
@TheNYRBlog very good to see the team staying a team in times like these,builds important chemistry and trust, loyalty ..intangibles
@DerekBFelix Apparently they just can't use the rest of the facility, ie locker room, training area, etc.
@TheNYRBlog That's actually very encouraging. God damn I love this team. #theplayers
@TheNYRBlog Yeah, it hurts, but at least they're trying to make sure they're ready for when/if this nonsense lockout ends.
Not sure if you saw it but this was great to read https://twitter.com/KatieStrangESPN/status/247732192321601537
@TheNYRBlog As shitty as it sounds - would love to have a running list of where Rangers players go if/when they choose to...
