I almost forgot a very important thing to talk about today. I know the other bloggers here either don't care for hockey, or are devils fans, but I am a Rangers fan, and not the best hockey fan, but I was a huge fan of this man. And if you believe otherwise, look at the poster on my wall of the man from his first NHL season, where he didn't have the modern mask with all the painted designs on it. It will be a sad time for me at 3:00 pm today, when Mike Richter announces his retirement. I may shed a tear because I'm a big puss, but the man was the New York Rangers for the past decade. Sure, you can argue with Messier, but Richter was huge in their 94 playoff run, and may not have been one of the best goalies in the league over the years, but he was one of the best in Rangers history, in terms of victories. On top of all this, he was born in the U.S., so that makes it even better that he had a good career and wasn't born in Slovakia or some other European country. Now that I've babbled for quite some time, I will wrap this up. Here's to you, Mr. Richter.
