Dear Rangers...: Final Grades #4-8

Like every good blog for their favorite hockey team, final grades are a must for the season's finish. We decided to make sure each player got the time and attention they deserve and will address each in jersey number order in small groups each post. Enjoy!

#4 Michael “DZ” Del Zotto

Dear Michael, Your grade for this comment,

is A+ in sarcasm, F for it being the TRUTH and doing nothing about it, love Hank and the Fans

Dear Michael,

"this is how we do it" usually means that you show up for 60 minutes a night. Or does this “it” refer to sloppy first periods, lackadaisical second periods and wake up call third periods?. love, the Fans

Dear Michael, When you try and pinch or when you try and do one of those “lovely” cross ice passes which you magically think will be missed by the 4 other opposing team skaters, well

love, Fans

Dear Michael, No matter what happens this off season, this will always be us

Love, Brian

Dear Michael,

Love, Teenage Girl Ranger Fans

Dear Ladies of NY,

Love, Michael

Dear Michael, Next year, can you hit the net?

Dear Anton, could you please explain this v-neck,

love Siobhan & Hank

Dear Anton, I'm thrilled it was your shoulder that was injured and not your head. <3 Elissa

Dear Anton, When you got hurt in the Boston series, this was us

love NYR Fans & Teammates

Dear Anton, Last year you had a great playoffs, so I was happy when we re-signed you. Your regular season was okay, but this years playoffs made me feel like this
