Thanks Bird - Finding your site changed how I found about about Rangers news and hockey news in general. It opened my eyes to a new way of discussing (cougharguing/debatingcough) and just throwing around ideas and thoughts on the New York Rangers. Plus - I got to meet your Dad - how is Rusty doing these days?
Thanks for giving birth to Rodent and RangerLand as well - we all thank you for your time and effort over the years. -------------------- |

I only read HockeyBird for a little while before everyone migrated here, but it was always good. stuff. Thank you, Bird, for giving birth to the modern Rangers forum. Good luck in all of your endeavors.
I do have one request, though. If possible, can the Rodent/Bird podcasts please continue? |

ARGH!! Sorry to hear that Bird! I loved your site for years! If you remember last year, we talked briefly about me possibly helping you with the site, but it never materialized.
Anyway, best of luck in the future, and if you ever want to work together, let me know!! |
