You must be a psychic - The Fans Speak Out

Hockey Digest, March, 2003 by Tyler Murray

I am a huge fan of the New York Rangers and I think that you should do a story on their goalie Dan Blackburn. Blackburn is playing great in the net. He has a fantastic save percentage and earned a spot in the record books as the third youngest goalie ever in NHL history to record a shutout. And keep in mind this is only his second year in the league.

I also think that you should do a story on Mark Messier. He is the oldest player on his team and also one of the oldest in the league. As I am writing this, he has 11 goals, the most on the Rangers, and more than such superstars as Jeremy Roenick and even Mario Lemieux. He even has more than Jerome Iginla, last season's top goal-scorer.

Tyler, obviously by now you've seen our cover. As for Blackburn, he has a bright career ahead of him, and with the Rangers' acquisition of goalie Mike Dunham, he should finally be able to get some rest. We're sure you'll be reading plenty about him in years to come.
