A Little Bit on No. 2

I did a full report on NY Sports Day, but just some musings:

Unlike Mark MessierÂ a few years ago, Leetch’s pre-retirement gathering was much more subdued, like the way he played.
Leetch was very forthcoming about still being hurt when he was traded almost four years ago.
All the Rangers agreed he may have been the most important player from the 1994 team.
When asked Leetch didn’t want to give a Super Bowl prediction, but Messier said 24-21, yet he would not guarantee that.
Tonight, don’t expect a 75 minute ceremony, although the Rangers have 98 minutes, but that also includes pregame warmups and getting the ice ready.
Tie Domi was at the event last night as well, which was a welcome surprise.
