DropkickMurphy8 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 http://blueshirtsunited.com/posts/4076/after-16-season-biron-calls-it-a-career?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=posts&utm_content=facebook_1382285658#.UmQRa1CSraE Sad, he's probably one of the top 3 backups in the league and is waived after one bad start on a team that can't play on either side of the puck right now. I didn't think the Rangers' problems had anything to do with Marty, so I don't understand why he was put on waivers after one start. Now Biron retires because the Rangers suck? Horrible decision by Sather and AV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiggoalie Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Agreed. He got shafted. I still think he should have played for the WP, and in due time, he may be called up for some reason. It's not like Hank is on top if his game. This team has gone to Hell in a hurry. I seriously want AV gone already. There's so much talent in this team, yet I've seen more organized high school teams playing in my home town. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I too am sad to see Biron retire, especially how it unfolded. However I do understand him preferring to retire instead of playing in Hartford - he's been in the league 18 years. I also think he'll have a good career ahead of him in broadcasting.

Cygnus X-1 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 agree with all above comments- Marty was more than capable....no one is playing well on the team (except for Richards). Have Staal, Girardi and McDonagh completly forgot how to play defense due to this new system?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 It's like the defense has completely disappeared. I've turned off most of the games this season (yes, I know, blasphemy) because they haven't even made them close, 9-2 and 6-1 disgusted me and I have entirely too much schoolwork right now to try to sit through a game that's over 3 minutes into the 2nd period. Yeah yeah, I know, real fans watch anyway. They're absurd and I hate AV as well right now, I didn't understand firing Torts in the first place. It makes less sense now after seeing a team that was deliberately constructed to fit his system demonstrate a complete lack of competence on either side of the puck in a new system. These guys obviously can't play AV's style of hockey, and I expect the house cleaning to commence by the end of the calendar year if they can't turn this around. Things were looking so bright and I honestly believe that if last year hadn't been shortened by the lockout and if Torts had gone through training camp with Nash and Gabby, we'd still have Gaborik and we would've gone deep into the playoffs last season. Torts deserved a full training camp with Nash and Gaborik, these guys are't meant for the type of system AV is trying to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus X-1 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Good points and a full camp would've provided the "real" Brad Richards......would've been interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
