Draft day

Written by Rick Carpiniello
Why not? Who loves the NYR more than she? On to the draft. It would probably take the first-round pick as part of the package to make Heatley a Ranger. For the Islanders’ sake, they’d better not out-think themselves as they did so many times in this dreadful era.

First well get the news out of the way, and come back in a little while with some John Tortorella quotes. Chris Drury skated in practice and the Rangers did not recall anybody from Hartford, so it looks as if either he will play Game 4, or Aaron Voros will take his spot if he doesn’t. The [...]
