From Sean Leahy at Puck Daddy:
When the New York Rangers lost tough guy Colton Orr(notes) to the Toronto Maple Leafs, there was opening for someone who could provide sandpaper in the lineup and protect his teammates (now including the glass-like Marian Gaborik(notes)).
Enter Donald Brashear(notes). Enter a player who became Public Enemy No. 1 in New York after his late hit on Blair Betts(notes) in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals last April, knocking the Rangers’ best penalty killer out for the remainder of the playoffs with a broken orbital bone.
At the time, Rangers fans were calling for Brashear’s banishment and expressed their disappointment in the NHL for allowing a repeat offender from continuing to be a “thug.” Now, Rangers fans will have to come to grips with the fact that Brashear will be wearing their colors for the next two seasons. While there’s plenty of utter disgust being expressed about the move, isn’t it like Jerry Seinfeld said about how, at the end of the day, it’s just really about rooting for the color of the team’s laundry?
