The best news to hit town as the Rangers emplace the welcome mat for Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals tonight at the Garden has nothing to do with the visiting Washington sextet.
What thrills The Maven is a report that Don Baizley, the Winnipeg-based agent for Peter Forsberg, revealed that his client will remain in Europe for the remainder of the season.
The Forsberg Follies – he's coming; he's not coming; whatever – was faintly reminiscent of Vancouver's pursuit of Mats Sundin.
It went on and on and ON to a point where you'd think the Canucks were getting the reincarnation of Gordie Howe-Wayne Gretzky-Jean Beliveau all rolled up into one.
We all know about Forsberg's long and distinguished career, but at this point in time, the last thing the Rangers need is a washed-up Swede trying to make a big buck with one last swing around the NHL.
