Mark Messier

And, you know, everybody's...

waiting for them to kind of take that next step there.

So, you know, we can look at all the negative things that are going on, but we also have to look at some of the positive things.

Great game, and they played some good.

The consistency, I think, is what has been lacking with the Rangers, and as Bill Parcells says, you are what your record says you are.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

At the 40-game mark, we're getting a good idea of what the Rangers are, but I think at the same time, we all see the potential that they could be, so we're waiting for that.

That's hard to say.

I think it's all going to be determined by what happens this year.

And I think it all determines what kind of deal that they can make between the team and himself.

And I think, obviously, he loves it here.

I know he lives out in Greenwich, so I know a lot of people that see him having coffee down on the avenue all the time.

And he seems to be a likable guy in all the things.

He's one of the players that has that magnetic personality that can bring the fans into the equation.

He's got amazing talent, and ultimately in the end, the game is about winning and losing, so we'll have to wait and see.

I don't speak to any player in that regard.

I'm not in management whatsoever.

I think everybody's going to speculate a word in what he might do in two years.

I think he did the right thing by giving Edmonton a couple years to see if they could win a cup there.

He's given Edmonton everything.
